20 pull ups+20 dips
16 pull ups+16 dips
12 pull ups+12 dips
and so on.

Its only 60 pull ups and dips total, but its a smoker if done for time.

I can dig Lamb of God, thanks.
Glad you liked it! :D

My favourite song by them (and of all of my music) is "Broken Hands." The whole album "Wrath," is pretty great too.

Re: Weighted Dips

Have you guys used weighted dips for your clusters? What's your experience? Pro/Cons? I know all the theory behind it and possible shoulder issues that are related to that. Just interested in your real life experience and programming for TB. I am tempted to include it into my next OP block. One of ...
