dips

[bg65]

I would just like to say that if any of you guys aren't doing dips, start doing them...I made them a serious add'n to my tri routine about 6 mos ago and at the gym tonight I thought I was looking at someone else's arms in the mirror, my tris have just blown up...I am just stoked and thought I would share that thanks

Your chest should too. - They are a good exercise.

oh for sure chest too, but my chest was not lagging like my tris...you can see in my avatar that my tris needed work (EVERYTHING still needs work ) (that pic is about a year old)

i have the same problem as bg.. matter of fact his picture almost looks like the same structure as me.. my tris lag big time and it sucks. the inner head of the tri just doesn't come out the way it should. haha

Try decline dumbell presses for heavy reps in the 8-12 range. Bring the dumbells deep into your armpits.

Also, forget about what you are "feelin," that's a horrible way to judge an exercise.

dips kick ass. just got back from gym did chest around 2:00 triceps at 8:00 like to warm up with some cables 2 sets cambered bar, then did 3 sets skulls working up, 2 sets close bench, heavy 2 plates a side, 3 sets dips heavy ,1 plate 2 then 2 and 25 12 reps 8 then 6. i finish with low weight high rep machine pushdowns or rope. 2-3 sets. awesome pump . my best bodypart by far love doing tris

i agree

weighted dips are a great exercise.

weighted dips are a great exercise.

ABSOLUTELY!!

i finish my chest days with 3 sets of push ups OR 3 sets of dips to failure.
my back days with 3 sets of pull ups to failure.
my ham/glut days with 3 sets of iso jumps to failure.

Nothing But Continued Gains.
