dips for benching

[SpiderDan]

Dips would work on 5/3/1 just remember to factor in your BW when doing the percentages.

I would love to have a decent bench.....im just not motivated enough to train it.

I've been frustrated with bench in the past, and still do occasionally when it stalls. The fact is though, big bench=badass. That's what keeps me motivated for it! I say this because although dips are a great exercise, people ask how much you bench, not how much you can dip.

but when your on the beach with your pecs looking good whos going to care how much you bench? and when you have a big boobed 19 year old blonde stroking your chest neither are you. weight on the bench is only a number but results speek for themselves.

Did my first session with dips instead of benching. Felt fun and good. Sticking sort this from now on.

As I said there is nothing bad about dips, but bench can give you all that plus bragging rights, if you build it high enough. Keep dipping if that makes you happy.

Looks badass to me.

Too bad I hate it so much.

This is another of my favs MJ.

I'm not giving up on bench until I own 140kg! That warrants 'strong' in my eyes anyway. It also seems to build an awesome looking upper body.
