I have been working out for a year and have started to do more body-weight training four months ago. I want to achieve skills that are chest-, triceps- and shoulder-oriented. But I also want to get a strong dip. Is it then okay to train for planche in the morning, and then do dips later on the same day? For example, at 1 p.m. I do planche training, then at 9 p.m. I do dip training?

Is there anything in particular you're worried about? Questions starting with "Can I...?" are usually answered by "of course, unless there's something in particular stopping you".– AlecJul 28, 2020 at 15:40

Im worried about over training and injuries in particular because im working on the same muscles twice a day. Msybe I should rewrite and put "should" instead– user33757Jul 28, 2020 at 18:42

I have a question, why would you want to do them in seperate workouts rather than just doing a shoulder / tricep / chest workout that involves both plance and dips? For me, dips is usually part of my planche workout. What would you see as a benefit for doing them seperate?– MJBJul 29, 2020 at 7:19

Because I feel so fatigued after my planche workout I feel I cant perform well enough on the dips– user33757Aug 2, 2020 at 19:56

Working on the same muscles twice a day is perfectly fine, but you want to do it a certain way.. Leave at least 8 hours in between both workouts, and save all the hard exercises like ones with a lot of weight(in terms of bodyweight, ones like a planche is harder than dips), or compound exercises, and save isolation exercises and easier exercises for your night workout. What you're doing is fine, keep in mind working out twice a day may require you to recover more
