I love dips mate, I’m lucky my shoulder handles it fine, and I dip nice and deep. But still struggling with the dumbbell press, and don’t even touch the bar at the moment for chest

Solid session there.. good intensity and volume.. those triple sets would’ve been brutal!!! Only thing Your cals look great for fat loss, but just keep an eye you’re not digging too deep and risking muscle loss or burnout. Protein’s more than covered, if anything you could shift a bit more into carbs to fuel sessions better. Overall though you’re putting in the work just make sure recovery keeps up

Thanks bro, I appreciate the input. My diet is my weakness. I need to change my whole approach to the diet. Because I just eat and calculate what I consumed afterwards. Try not to underestimate and overeat but it’s so easy to eff it up.
