Video with good technique tips for dips and chinups

My takeaways: Practice the active negative in the dip. Row yourself down, keeping the shoulders away from your ears, and gradually pulling your elbows back. Extend your shoulders as much as possible while not allowing them to shrug. This stretches the chest as well as works on the end range of shoulder extension. Reducing chest tightness and improving shoulder extension improves overall shoulder ROM for lifting a KB or any other weight. As you push yourself up from the dip, allow the scapula to move out of retraction

Red Delta Project (Matt Schifferle) also uploaded a dip technique video. Matt also mentions anti-shrug, or packing the shoulders down and back at the scapulae at the top fo the movement, then retraction of the scapulae on the way down. A key detail that he advises is tilting the torso forward on the way down while engaging the back muscles. For me this solves the problem of shoulders kind of sneaking up into a shrug on the way down:



I'm currently doing dips as part of Easy Muscle Schedule B. I've had good results from this program before but one question I had, for which I could not find the answer in the manual, is why the parallel dips is the pushing exercise of choice for the calisthenics day. Geoff posted this video a few months ago that answered this question:



In the above video he's talking about Rebuilt After 40, which is very similar to Easy Muscle. I thought the answer would be the unloading of the spine that few other pushing exercises offer, but that's only one reason. Another reason is mentioned in the above video that I wouldn't have thought of, which is FAB (Functional Antagonistic Balance). So in the video, dips are mentioned as the FAB of the front squat. I guess dips could be the FAB of any KB squat variation you choose for Easy Muscle - goblet squat, single front squat, or double front squat.
