Q?

[Rich Knapp]

OK, I have a Q? I can't understand maybe you all can shead some light on it.



Mark Rippetoe preaches never take the elbo's behind the spine because it hyper extends the front delt.

Then how is the right way to do Dips by his standards?

From the Dip (exercise) - Starting Strength Wiki

To perform a dip, the person hangs from a dip bar with their arms straight, bends their arms to a 90 degree angle (thus lowering their body), and then returns to their starting position of straight arms (lifting their body's weight). Difficulty can be decreased by using an assisted-dip machine with a counterweight that helps push the body up. This exercise is varied for different people, due to their different sizes, with short people being able to cope better with a narrow type dip, but not with a wide arm dip. Tall people will have greater ease in this exercise overall as their reach to body size ratio is greater.
