quarter dipping sonsabitches.
I had that before and realized it was because I was leaning too far forward. I did a few on the 'dip machine' and adjusted to where my knees sat and it felt much better to keep straight up and down. Don't know if this helps but...
come to think of it...I do it this way with a shorter rom as well. sry.
i did stay at a holiday inn express last night.
i'm not sure if you're awre of this, but the pec's connect to the collarbone, and the collarbone functions as a (weak) strut for your shoulders. the is definite;y a direct connection between dips and collarbone pain.The muscles around my collar bone/shoulders definatly do not feel good during dips. Its better, now. there used to be a intense shotting pain in my shoulders after each set, but not anymore.I still feel a lot of pressure though.
so because we say to not dip as low it means we don't do full dips? It is possible to go too far down...
It is possible, and that's not something I'd thought of.
But come to think of it, I was probably overcompensating, since as a fatguy my instinct on all BW exercises is to cut the ROM.
It must be how skinny cats feel when they try to squat heavy.
Try narrowing your grip / distance between your hands, I find that I have problems doing dips without pain if my hands are too far apart.
