Bodyweight dips after we can do 30+ reps?

[huskers1998]

Once we can do 15 reps as per SS you should alternate between a 3x5 day and a 3x max BW dips. Should we do this indefinitely or would there be an upper limit on BW days such as 30, 40, or 50 then we should switch to just all 3x5 weighted dip days?

Why would you want to do 30, 40, or 50 dips?

For that matter, what is your reason for doing dips at all?

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to unless you recommend it. In the pullup section it says once you can do 12-15 reps you could possibly start alternating 3x5 with higher rep BW workouts. And I saw another post from you, when doing my research that dips should follow the same progression. However, I am at the point where I am doing 35,33, 31 on my BW Dip days and was wondering if I should just keep pushing the reps higher on the higher rep BW days or should I just do 3x5 every dip day. Or should I do 3x5 alternated with higher rep weighted days, if so what rep range would you recommend.

Has 35 reps in the dip increased your bench?
