dips for chest or tris

[B0ARDIN087]

whats the difference in doing tips for chest or tris, which one hits the chest more!

 

[Tactile]

Dips leaning forward emphasizes the chest, straight up and down emphasizes the triceps.

Yup. Also, my gym has a v-dipping station (some don't) -- on it using a wider grip emphasizes chest more, and narrow grip tris more.

I like to have my training partner hold my feet back when I do them for chest.

Ditto

Be careful for your shoulders w/ weighted dips

 

[InTraining]

Leaning forward hits chest more...but both work the chest to some extent...

Find the position that is most comfortable for you and apply it

Elbows flared / pointing outward will put more emphasis on your pecs. Keeping elbows close to your sides and pointing behind you will put more emphasis on your tri`s.
