chest dips vs. triceps dips |
|
|
|
In the consolidation routine, they′re just called "dips."
Which did MM intend, and which do y′all prefer? (I′m a weight-lifting newb.)

As far as I can tell, chest dips = hunched over and triceps dips = back perpendicular to floor.

If I recall correctly, what I′ve read from one of Mike′s books (High Intensity the Mike Mentzer Way, I think) is that what you hit in dips directly are:
1. Chest, when one points the elbows outward on your way down (the negatives); or
2. Triceps, when you don′t spread those elbows.

I prefer the "chest dip": hunched over, with the elbows pointed outward. It seems more natural for me and that way I can stimulate more overall upper body muscles (including the pecs, front delts, triceps and lats).

…I′ve noticed, however, that when I do the positive part, i.e., the pushing, I tend to straiten my back a bit more. When I do the negative part, i.e., the lowering, I keep my back more hunched over.
Does anyone else here have the same experience?
