Dips

[mystreeman456]

Are dips supposed to be added into SL 5x5 or are they only used as replacements for certain exercises, and if so, which ones?

I tried searching the forums for it, but couldn't find so sorry if this is a repost.

It's the other way around
Dips were in the original SL5x5 program. They got replaced by pushups because quite a lot of people had issues with their shoulders.
It's explained in the e-book

If you want to do them and your shoulders can handle it, by all means feel free to do so.

or alternate between them and push-ups. that's what I do, and I feel like it gives me a good balance.
