dips

Ive never had shoulder problems doing dips. I've been doing weighted dips for years. I'd like to read the study that states dips are bad for your shoulders.
 
Ive never had a probably with dips either and i do them quite often. How are they bad for your shoulders? Long term?
 
just because you havent hurt yourself doing dips, doesnt mean others havent. Dips are a bit risky on the shoulders, dont have the study, i was told by a chiro, or a something else that deals with shoulders, cant remember. he said "I would like to go to the gym and give everyone whos doing dips my card saying "you are gonna need it, belive me"" :p i think its a range of motion thing.

I recall the slogan "decline the decline". Decline benching can cause shoulder problems - don't dips hit the shoulders a similar way? I'd assume if you don't dip or decline constantly for months on end, you'd be fine.
