Training Routine

For chest dips...flare your elbows out instead of keeping them close to your body. Lean forward slightly. It should sort of resemble an extreme decline press.

Anywhere I can see pics of dips being done?

How good is this exercise for chest development?

Very natural movement unlike the benchpress. You will see a lot of gains from it

Thank you mate. That was a very useful link. Ive seen dips being done but have always associated them as a tricep excercise.
