    You may also wat to try front squats. For me, the stress on my knees was greatly reduced by doing these. I found that you don't lean forward as much as you might with back squats.

    Chest dips are an excellent exercise and you could do flyes if you wish but I think you have it covered. I usually do 3 exercises with a few warm-up sets and 6-9 working sets.
