chest day, dips?

[Stiffler]

I do chest only on mondays and was wondering if I should do dips on chest day or arm day?
THANKS

I like to do dips when I work my triceps, whether or not thats the best is debatable.

I do chest and tris on the same day so I often incorporate dips as they work both chest and tris.

Yeah I used to do chest/tris on the same day but im come up with a new routine. im going to try arms on a seperate day so im not doing bis/back chest/tris.

I do chest and biceps on the same day because chest uses a lot of triceps. So if you do tricep exercises before you do chest you can't work your chest as strong because you triceps are already somewhat fatigued. Same goes for if you do chest before tris. I also like to do chest/bis so that I kind of stretch my tris when I do bis after chest.

I do dips with chest and bi's.

incline bench
weighted dips
some sort of flye

I really lean into them and try to get the most out of my chest when doing them.

Stiffler, what's up man? Haven't seen you in a while. How's the wing?

You can do dips on chest or tri day, depending on how you do them. If you lean forward and go elbows out as you lower yourself, you'll be hitting more chest. If you stay more upright (perpendicular to the floor) and elbows in, you're hitting more tri.

100% agree!

I absolutely agree as well. Dips for chest and dips for tris are a different exercise. When I'm doing dips for chest I hardly feel the tris, but when I'm doing dips for tris, I only feel it in the tris. Those people who can't work out what routine to incorporate dips into must be doing a variation that is somewhere between chest dips and tricep dips.
