Dips

I had one 12 month period when I could not do dips as hurt shoulder, although bench press did not.

apart from that time, I have always been able to do dips. great exercise.
 
I'm back doing dips but only ever did very narrow because it hurt my shoulders

I've started doing wide grip dips. I much weaker doing that. My shoulders hurt for a couple weeks but now feel really good. I'll stick at them for a while.

Found this old workout from 2014, pretty sure that's the most dips I've ever done.

I'm arguably fitter and stronger than I was back then so I think I should be able to eek out 25 reps.

Very disappointed with anything less than 20. Will post a video

Here we go, feel like I could get up to 30 quite easily if I trained for it
 
120 seconds is strong, very strong big legs make this even more superb.

IMO you have a ways to go, but good for trying!
 
having looked at my past effort, I doubt I could do 25 full range. I will have a go in coming weeks as I did not deload for last effort.
 
certainly I agree you should use good form for most of your training, but a flat out set should not be limited by slowing the movement down to get a better training effect. it is a test for reps.

Being a test for reps you'l have no choice with the movement slowing down towards the end
