Quick question about dips...

[SeanHolmz]

Leaning forward targets chest or tris more? Vise versa...

Thanks.

Thanks.

Leaning forward targets the chest more.

Leaning forward... but you also need to look at the ground. If you look up it rolls it partially back on your tris.

Would it be advisable to do them on both arm and chest day

 

[SofaGeorge]

I give arms their own day. I do lean forward dips for chest... upright for tris on arm day. They don't seem to conflict.

It's sort of like how you can do bench on chest day and close grip bench on arm day.

Yea the reason I ask is because I have a chest only day and a shoulder/tri day. Today was my shoulders/tri so I wanted to know what position would target tris more because i would like to work chest at the least. However, I did feel a small pump in my chest after todays workout after dips and close grip bench.

Cool, thanks George

If one wants to do dips I recommend them first in a wrokout since they tax the shoulders a lot. Many people get injured cause they do them ballistically instead of with slow control cadence. I love doing them for tris nice and slow and enjoy the pain
