When doing weighted dips, is it best to do 3x5 or 3x8? Also, how should I know when to progress to a higher weight?

I add 5 lbs whenever I can do 3x15 with any given weight
If I go too heavy it feels like my shoulders and ribcage are about to blow the fuck out, so I never go below 8 reps

When you can do 3xX of your current weighted amount?
Genuine question. I know Dips are like the only thing you can do part ROMs for until you're good enough to do the full motion. So wouldn't you being able to do full, deep reps every time for all sets mean you should move up?

Just do whatever you prefer. It's not like it's going to make a huge difference as long as the weight is increasing.

Yes.

you can do linear progression or you can do as >>42256479 does.
i also tend to keep it around 10 reps, i get terrible elbow tendonitis if i go lower for lower reps
also i never go below parallel
