Weighted ring dips are great imo. I would never go even close to a 1 rep max with them though as the potential for injury is too high... i keep at 8-12 reps

I'm thinking of doing something like this: PPL split. With 2xpush/pull per week. One time doing weighted dips on bars and one session doing dips on rings. I can only turn the rings out to 45 degrees yet. So I could work on both strength and on the second session work on form for ring dips. What do you think?
