I'd like suggestions for improving my weighted triceps dip. I'm
training to compete with a friend at the end of October - 5 reps at
the most weight on a dip belt

Good assistance exercises?

What's "good enough" depth?

Form and technique recommendations?

Breathing strategy?

Weekly schedule?

Stretching tips?

I've injured a shoulder in the past. 2 weeks into training and I'm
using 75 pounds for 5 reps. I did 90 pounds for 4 reps today. My
"bum" shoulder let me know it's waiting for me to make a mistake.

I'm 57, 220 pounds, 5'10"

Thanks for any help.

I suggest another contest. One reason you won't find anyone contesting
dips is that depth is relevant, i.e., more depth is harder, and thus
it's very hard to judge. A bench press makes much more sense to contest
to me - pick a federation's rules and follow them.
