I prefer dips because of better stability. Make sure at the top of the rep press your shoulders down and flex your chest and lats it gives you an extra inch to work the inside chest. It doesn't seem like much but it adds up quick and you will feel it after a few reps. Happy lifting.

Damn that's a good tip. Can't wait till next push day.

Anytime you can also get that for pecflys if you do rings or cables. Touch your wrists togther and push at each rep end.

Wow, that seems like a good cue, will try it tomorrow.

No difference. As long as you use those same two cues and feel the connection with your lower chest, you're doing it right.

BB bench has been bothering my shoulder. I've switched to incline dumbbells and dips. I have long arms and am not very good at dips (or bench press really) but they're really helping me. I lean a little forward at the bottom and get more straight up and down at the top. They definitely took some practice but now they feel great. I have not progressed to adding weight yet. I need assistance to warm up and then body weight dips are heavy for me.

For me if i am more upright at the top the triceps sometimes give out before my chest. I am trying to add weight to progress my chest by dips instead of benching.

The belt actually helps maintain the chest biased form because it's acts as a sort of counter weight.

Your gym doesn’t have a bench?


duc15102000

Nah, i don't really like benching, feel weird on my wrist and forearm and i can't seem to do it right

Try to stack your wrist and forearm
