Dips for chest

[Thaibox]

I tap my shoulders on the bars at bottom. Always have. Its never effected my pec/delt area in any negative way.

Not to sound negative but I dont like dips because they dont help my bench press at all and I get minor shoulder problems when I go too low. So I ditched dips over a year ago. I guess for bodybuilders they are fine as long as they dont cause shoulder problems.

Ive only been doing them for the last 3 weeks, and my flat press (which had plateaued) has gone up.
Think I'll stick to 90 degrees tho.



Thanks for the answers, all.

Sounds like dips are working well for you-thats good.

Powerlifters dumped the dips awhile back because it didnt seem to do much for the bench press specifically.

I did dip lockouts with extra weight attatched and it didnt work for me. I guess some people have more sucess with certian movements than others.

Dips are excellent for the chest!!!

All I can say is lean forward, keep your elbows tight, and lower yourself to a parallel position.
