Weighted Dips vs Decline Bench

Olibobwa Posts: 123 Joined: 2006/06/12	2007/09/24, 07:06 PM I have no decline setting on my bench, but I do have access to dip station and belt weights, ect... My chest routine is nothing special incline bench followed by weighted dips & finishing with flat bench. Seems to be working very well. Really just wondering what everyone's views on dips were.

The new way allows me to hit more muscle while using up my tri's and finish with the least effective exercise. This way it's more bang for ur buck ============ Quoting from ecle5c: I like dips personally better than decline bench. Again just a personal preference.
