    Should I stop doing bodyweight chest dips?

    So I've been doing bodyweight chest dips "only" for my chest workout.. my form is correct but not perfect..after doing 6 sets of 10 reps of bodyweight chest dips which I feel kinda tired on my shoulder I get some pump on my chest but I dont get any kind of sore on my chest and after a few months working my chest with the workout I got no gain... I do get sore if I do many reps and sets of push ups.. I feel like push ups really work my chest.. so my question is.. is it really worth it doing bodyweight chest dips for bigger chest.. or should I be doing weighted push ups for my chest.. your answer will be appreciate..I'm 14 y/o btw

    DOMS(delayed onset muscle soreness) tends to happen once you introduce a new stimulus to your body. Meaning it's initial experiences with an exercise are the times you will get the soreness, unless pushed past that point - don't expect to be sore every time. Also, don't gauge the effectiveness of a workout by whether or not you get sore, the body will still develop normally without it. Chest dips are very effective for development in chest, triceps, and among other areas - the shoulders.

    If it was me, removal or continued use of them would depend on effectiveness, whether I can do them safely, and progression options. Personally I think it's a whole lot easier to add weight to a dip than with pushups, because it's an easier lift to set up.

    Do weighted dips.

    --The proper plural form of the Latin adjective biceps is bicipites, a form not in general English use. Instead, biceps is used in both singular and plural (i.e., when referring to both arms). The form bicep [sic], although common even in professional contexts, is considered incorrect. (from Wikipedia)

    Weighted Dips after Bench are not good for you when going max out. You put a lot of pressure on the shoulders and your rotator cuffs. Watch out
