The program I am doing has tons of dips in it. Every bench day I do 50+ dips, should I scale this back for the time being?
Another bench question - I would prefer to bench without a spotter and use safety racks. Whenever I have tried this the bar hits the safety rack before it touches my chest and I lose tension. I have adjusted it lower but then the safety rack would serve no purpose if I dropped it, it would be on my neck. I always activate my lats and push my shoulder blades into the bench. I tried putting a mat on the bench to try to give me another half inch or so but no luck. Any ideas?
