If you're tall/have long arms, dips will grind your shoulders to space dust

why not just bench more

>>42280047
Luckily, I'm 5'8".

>>42280047
What to do then?
t. 6'1"

>>42280050

This desu

>>42280050
Or do DB Bench

>>42280047
I'm 6'4" and injured my rotator cuff doing bench once I started 235lbs for reps.
No 'incident' but it just went from 0 pain to a bunch of pain.
I've been doing weighed dips since because any bench variation, even machines, hurt my shoulder.
I've been doing light weight, high rep rotator cuff exercises to heal and I think it's slowly working.
What should I do?
Thanks.

You probably have weak wrists or weak shoulders and define heavy bench press as something light where your stabilizer shit fails you first. Either that or you weren't doing full ROM with pause. It's a flat bench but you need to arch a little. I used to buy the lankards can't bench meme but then I decided to actually try.

>>42280040
Do both.

>>42280040
soreness isn't an indicator of growth

>>42280114
Okay

>>42280124
No, but progressively lifting more weight is

>>42280067
Have you tried DB press?
>>42280094
You should probably do some low impact work or calisthetics to help you heal so basically keep doing what you're doing, especially if you see improvement

nah im more of a combat medic

be a true patrician like me and cycle between bb bench, db bench and weighted dips as your main chest exercises

>>42280067
I'm 6'0 and have 0 issues with dips, I've got a cousin who's 5'8 who can't do them at all, I think if dips don't hurt then you're probably g2g

>Have you tried DB press?
It's like 60% weight of my BB bench, usually do them 30-45 degrees incline.
