When you can hold 20 seconds clean with the lightest band. Then try 5-second unassisted holds and build from there. The dip hold is harder than most people think because the shoulders and triceps are in a mechanically weak position at 90 degrees.
The hold builds isometric strength at the hardest part of the dip. Full dips build dynamic pushing strength. You need both. I program holds early in a session when you're fresh, then finish with full range assisted dips for volume.
