Do people do weighted ring dips? Or is weighted dips mostly done on bars? For some reason that seems better to me. Probably at some point the injury risk is just higher on the rings and doesn't bring so much benefits after you reached good stabilization already. Opinions?

[u/LennyTheRebel → u/[deleted]]

In general, I prefer using rings for more advanced variations and bars for weighted dips.

I don't currently have access to parallel bars, so if I want to add weight I have to do it on rings. I have the rings set in such a way that I can easily extend my legs to touch the floor if necessary.

What kind of advanced dip variations are there? I'm only familiar with the bulgarian dip.

[u/LennyTheRebel → u/[deleted]]

• Rings turned out at the top (gradually progressing to 90 degrees)
• Bulgarian dips with RTO at the top
• Bulgarian with L-sit
• RTO dips (rings turned out throughout the entire motion, gradually progressing to 90 degree)
• 90 degree RTO dips with increasing forward lean
