i dont recommend them bc they are hell on my shoulders no matter my hand placement or body lean.

i will do hammer dips but i concentrate on triceps for those. i can get flat bench to stimulate lower chest adequately to avoid having to do declines or dips for chest.

agreed, but it does work for some without hammering the shoulders. worth a try. besides you are probably moving a decent amount of weight i'm guessing.

I have to be careful with dips too b/c of my shoulders. If I keep everything tight and don't go too low I'm ok.

Try Wiiiiiide grip bench to your throat (alpha lipoic acid AAP). Keep your elbows flared the whole time. These pump the shit out of my chest. This is a "finesse" exercise. Don't go heavy or you will blow your rotators and stay in the 8-12 rep range. I usually do them after some sort of DB press.

wide grip barbell bench is AWESOME. bring the bar all the way down on your chest, but DON'T bounce it, because if you bounce, it is too heavy for you. you should concentrate on your form, because you could rip a pec muscle if you dont. dont worry about looking weak if you move down in weight, just start out low and work it up
