    Focus on strapping weight to yourself instead of doing 20+reps.
    and youre less likely to hurt your rotator cuff on dips than flat bench.

    Guys with long arms often are much better at dips than bench press and for some, it is easy to progress on dips while their bench tends to stay stalled. You don't have to be trapped by others dogma.

    This post is meant for guys wanting to add size to their chest not for guys training for certain sports.
    anybody who agrees with this probably doesn't bench press properly no nvm they don't bench press properly dips have their spot in a routine but over flat bench hell no.

    I'm sensing you have a weak bench press op and are trying to reassure yourself and everyone else that it's a worthless lift no hate but those are the people who make threads like this

    anyone here lift at home? What's a good/relatively cheap way to do dips at home? We used to have a station for it at school, I have given up on them since I started lifting at home. I have a squat rack, have been tempted to weld something up to do them off of that. If there is an easier/somewhat cheap alternative I'd be all for it.
    Took almost a year off, just started to get back into it in December.

    Current: weight= 175, bench = 275x6, squat = 275x5, deadlift = 275x10

    without examples, it's all a guess right..maybe we're not comparing dip feats equally with bench feats. a 200lber benching 405 is amazing. i've spent a lot of time in many gyms and i've never seen it. to compare that to dips, we need to pick a feat equally as impressive. perhaps you need to compare chests between a 405 bencher and a +250 dipper. hard to say.

    that said, i love flat bench as well.

    true.Going from what i have seen though i just dont see dips as superior, I think they are very close but obviously he basics are gonna do the most at first for anyone.

    Maybe I'll replace one of those exercises with dips on Saturday and see what happens

    I lift at home. I bought the dip handles for my rack when I got it. If I'm not mistaken, you can get universal/adjustable dip bars that will fit any rack.

    i do them on chest day. after DB bench and db incline. hmm, maybe I should try and do them first?? my ideology is that I want to be as fresh as possible for my first 2 lifts because db bench and incline are the 2 most important for chest development is what I've known to be the consensus. and no I don't do any fly movements right now. seems like if I did them on shoulder day I wouldn't be able to do ANY weight. Will experiment tomorrow, as tomorrow is shoulder day. thanks for the idea.

    well you have to look at the person's build. the guy benching 405 is most likely higher BF and weighs a lot more than the person doing 4 sets of 25 on dips. thats why he can only do 4 sets of 10, cause he has a lot more weight to move. Thats why there are skinny guys that can do double their bodyweight in dips because still thats only moving 320-340lbs of weight.

    but yeah I agree im a big believer in blasting chest with heavy DB bench. lets not turn this into a BB bench vs. DB bench thread but i believe you should alternate every so often, but I like DB better for chest development. seems like most new guys are scared to get under the bar or pick up the DB's and hit the flat bench hard. they'd rather do some stupid push up routine or some sh!t cause its easier.

    lulz thats funny. I didn't know anyone used that except old ladies doing 10lbs or the skinny 13 year olds trying to push down the whole stack but are actually doing dips cause they get lifted off the seat.

    u get any results from those? u said u used them at the end as sort of a burnout?

    wow.... I finally got myself a belt... and 12 x 90, so far. However it's been 2 days, and my delts are extremely sore. Not my chest, triceps but delts ... I was going to try 135+Bw tomorrow but I think I'll give it a few more days...

    I haven't been this much sore in years, especially my delts.... lmfao..

    yeah bro thats exactly my problem. ikermit said something about pre-exhausting your delts on shoulder day so that they can't help as much. seems interesting.

    i have an old knock off of the gazelle, that stupid cardio thing that tony little used to advertise. well when my parents wanted to throw it out i ripped off the computer that kept track of the time, calories burnt, etc. and turned it into a dip stand. it works great haha

    Because you were probably doing bounce **** trying to throw around huge weight because of the added leverage. Try declines with controlled negatives, really trying to squeeze the upper chest.

    It's true, I'd have to wait for soccer moms and texting warriors to use the machine when they're "done"

    I get a great pump in my chest from em ass long as I'm strapped to the seat.

    The problem is, most gyms don't make this machine properly, there's often not enough weight and no place to pin any extra plates/dumbbells. sometimes the bars get wobbly which makes it really awkward to use.

    Maybe I'll replace one of those exercises with dips on Saturday and see what happens

    No problem, though i found a dip stand for 30 bucks when i was at home training.

    Check out elitefts.com for more tips like that, they have a lot of examples of how to set up different movements with a simple power rack.,

    no man I was doing not too heavy weight with perfect slow form trying to get some pec activation but could never really get anything. maybe I'll try it again though. yours and a few other responses have me thinking I need to give it another shot.
