Off-season training for football. Dips. So dips is going to be the fourth exercise in this super set that we are working with here. I want you to follow up doing the pull-ups for max with the dips. So we are going to come here with the bar, and Jonsey is going to demonstrate doing the dips again, and I am just going to reiterate some of the key points that we want to work with here. So Jonsey is going to get started. And as he is working he is coming down as far as he can each time so that his shoulders are coming down underneath his elbows, and then he is working with the full extension all the way up. Good. And then I want to talk about some variations that you can do with dips. So I want to talk about some variations that you can do with dips. If you are lucky enough to be able to have a dip bar that you can adjust like this, then you can change the width of your dips as well, which is going to be really good to do so that the body will then also work for learning how to stabilize and produce force from wider angles through the shoulder girdle. So Jonsey is going to go ahead and demonstrate with this. Then there is also subtler changes that you can do as variations for the dips, okay? You can also work with your legs straight, or try to bring the legs out in front of you as you go. So those are all small minute changes that you can do with dips as well. I also want to mention that before is that we were doing max for pull-ups and for the big guys that may be hard and saying do max for pull-ups here on the dips may be hard too. But go for the max. If you need assistance go with the assistance, and take it where you can. And that is the end of this super set and then we are going to move on to our next super set.
