Why do people do both dips and push ups when push ups are better?

[7tyler]

I see lots of people doing push ups, dips, and pull ups. Why add dips though? Push ups work all the same muscles as dips plus more. Dips are hard on your shoulders also. Mixing them at the same time makes no sense does it? I think it's just a waste of energy. Thoughts anyone?

dips>>>>pushups

[dontknowaname]

dips are more triceps
its like bench press and incline bench press
its works the same muscles just at a different angle

Weighted Chest Dips are maybe the best UBP movement out there, except for DB Bench/Flat Bench. Really depends on the person. But pushups<<<<dips

It might be a stabilizer muscle.

you should make a video of your form, i'd like to see this lol

you might be accidentally doing your pushups upside down which could be the cause of you feeling it in your biceps

Lay off the guy. Everyone starts somewhere.
And dips are a very good bodyweight exercise. (not bench dips, the other one)

lol push ups work biceps?

If you move your arms so they run parrallel with your body, hands placed around the hip area on the floor (basically the first phase of learning to do a planche push up) then they work your biceps a lil bit; a normal press up however as you stated is for chest and tri's, not bi's.

in response to OP, do normal push ups to target chest, Dips to target Tri's; however they both overlap in these muscle groups, so you will find doing push ups will help with your Tri's, and visa versa.
