nope! dips work lower chest and tris. if you want upper chest, get on the incline bench and do some presses or flies.

Yeah, more than flat bench anyways. Much better for aesthetic purposes than flat bench, but incline DB press is still king.

Maybe I shouldve been more precise.
If you want to hit your upper chest, dips are NOT the best way to do it. Dont waste your time with an inferior exercise."Swim 2.4 miles. Bike 112 miles. Run 26.2 miles. BRAG for the rest of your life." IRONMAN TRIATHLON

I was just wondering cause i only work with bar and i do all kinds of pullups and ab work on the bar, Then i do dips and incline pushups..
So let me get this straight a regular pushup.Can work the lower upper and middle at the same time .I guess then that means that the chest will grow very slowly.
u see that link thats what the dips do . It works the middle and the lower
now i should add incline pushups and im goodLast edited by mateostarks; 11-22-2006 at 02:58 PM.

Dips work mostly the lower pecs because of the line of force of the exercise.
Look; people that are going to make anatomical statements need to friggin' know their anatomy.
Even the most hardcore "non-contiguous innervation" touter acknowledges the pecs have two separate sections functionally
THE PECS HAVE TWO MAIN INNERVATIONS, CLAVICULAR (UPPER) AND LOWER (STERNAL).
They therefore can be RELATIVELY isolated.
Period.
I won't even go into the compartmentalization/partitioning/myosin-actin pairing optimization argument here, because I don't need to.CSCS, ACSM cPT.

Dips can very well be used as a chest exercise; chest dips
As for the thread starter, see it like this; the more incline your bench, than the lower the weight you can use, this goes for most people. Most people can do a lot more weight on the decline bench press as compared to the flat and incline, chest dips are basically an upright decline bench press if you ask me, so you can use more weight (if you include your bodyweight). Unless offcourse you weigh very heavy, than it's it still goes, but you might not be able to do a bodyweigth dip yet.
Just start with bodyweight tomorrow and add weight, basically ramping the weights uo if you will.
