Weighted dips are street lifting’s major pushing movement: with the load hanging from a belt, you lower until your shoulders are below your elbows, then push up to full extension. It’s often the movement where athletes move the heaviest upper-body loads.
Below are the world records and French weighted-dips records, category by category, women and men, updated for 2026.

How to Break a Weighted Dips Record?
The key: a full, controlled range of motion (shoulders below the elbows at the bottom, full lockout at the top), a progressive load increase on heavy sets, and accessory work for the triceps, chest and shoulders to handle the added weight. Core bracing and scapular stability prevent injuries at heavy loads.
