    What to do about dips and shoulder press?

    If I have dips and shoulder presses in the same work out, how do I stay at top preformance with both lifts? If I do dips first, my shoulder press will be weaker, if I do shoulder presses first then dips will be affected. I plan on doing dips, shoulder presses, deadlifts, squats, and chin ups in my workouts.

    I would rather be a bit shagged while doing dips than while pressing an oly bar over my damn head.

    But hey, maybe that's just me.

    Or alternate which is first each week.

    This will only work if you plan on doing the routine longer than 1 week, of course. However, if you only plan on doing one workout with this setup, then I would recommend looking into PG316's advice. If you can get your head around string theory and multiverse philosophy, things may be put into perspective for you re: The Dip Shoulder Press Conundrum.
