Yes. Still, a bit weird that I can`t make the jump. TGUs, yes, however.Well, it's a big jump from 32 to 40.

Eventually you will make it. There's no rush. Trust me.Yes. Still, a bit weird that I can`t make the jump. TGUs, yes, however.
I think that dips are overall a better exercise than chinups mainly because they develop more muscles more.
Oh gosh yes! My only weight lifting for the vast majority of the 41 years on earth has been chinups, pullups and commando pullups. I actually stopped doing dips while young because they seemed to do the same thing as chinups. Also, as a judo wrestler, I am always pulling at the club, so indeed it might be the fact that the dips are unlocking new found strength that is impressing me.I think it might depend upon whether you have been doing more pushing than pulling over your past training. pull ups / chins, and pulling moves in general, have been unlocking a lot of strength for me as of late,
this is because I have been so push-centric for the past year
haven't you trained a lot more pulls than dips over the past years?
just a thought
I was actually starting to think this myself Saturday. I'm going to review carefully everything in the book and online first and see what I can manage on my own, and then see what to do from there. I think you are correct though - raw strength has taken me so far but not farther.Hey Kozushi, a bit of a silly question, but since you've been stuck on the 32 kg swings for a while... Have you had an instructor look at your technique? Raw strength can make up for poor form, but only up to a point. Maybe a slight adjustment/correct muscle activation is all you need?

Yes, I think you've hit on something important.meanwhile, the chinups and dips are about as low-skill as it gets
