Lean forward bro............. The wider apart the handles the more it is concentrated on your chest, less on your tris.Originally posted by dez/null
i did it today...good if your doing a barbell only workout...dips mainly hit my triceps for me...
when done towards the beginnning of my workout, i use 50 for 8 to 10. when doing sets towards the end, i need to drop to 40 for the same 8-10. SageWhen you guys do weighted Dips, What kind of weighs do you use, how much, and where do you put them?

flyes are very bad for you and can cause injury...they're overrated IMObest chest dev i can find is 3 sets of flyes after my bench sets

Only if done incorrectly. This week, look around at the guys, or the one or two girls, doing them and notice that most use the wrong technique. The motion should be as if you were hugging a barrel; arms always bend. At the apex of the motion, if done correctly, you should feel the inner pecs working to maintain stability. That's when you know you're doing them correctly.

...No, you don't. There is no inner or outer chest, and the upper/lower delineation is negligible. The pecs contract as one. You can't 'isolate' any region of the chest, especially one that doesn't exist.Finally I knw how to work out my lower inner chest! Thank you!!!
Close grip decline bench right?
Err... declines involve the delts to a much lesser degree, leaving more work for the other muscles used.i never have any of my client do decline bench. there have been a few studies done on decline bench vs. flat bench. and in actuallity flat bench recruits more lower pec muscle fibers than decline bench does
You're joking, right? Pullovers work the pectoralis minor, the muscle involved in taking a big chest expanding breath, and in pulling the shoulder girdle downwards (a conunterpart to the traps). The pectoralis major's only involvement would be when you're holding the weight in front of you... static hold single DB press... w00t.Regardless, the best workout for the lower chest remains the overhead pullover.
