Continuing on the theme of developing the complexity of the shoulder (rather than just getting really strong with one or two things your shoulders can do), today we’ll be focusing on dips, or pressing down.  There are many variations of dips we can choose from – box dips, box dips with our feet elevated or off the floor, single bar dips (in front of the body, behind the body, under/overhand grip) and of course, ring dips.  We’ll be finding a variant that will challenge us and hopefully help improve any weakness we have in this movement.  As a gentle reminder, ring dips can be great, but if we’re not really good at single bar dip work, chances are that we’re better off starting there…
