Week 4 - 150 Dips

Week 3 is now comfortably behind you and it’s time to start Week 4. Continue by following the same column of exercises as you did last week.

At the end of Week 4 it will be time to perform another exhaustion test. You should know what to do by now – simply perform as many good-form dips as you can comfortably manage. As per the end of Week 2, challenge yourself by all means, but please don’t push too hard and risk injury.

The number of dips you complete will determine at which level of the program you’ll start Week 5. Make sure you perform this test within 24-48 hours of completing Week 4.
