lower chest

Bump for weighted dips; i've found that the stretch involved adds width to the outer side of the pecs.

totally with lwoodard81

decline DBBP works really well as it lends extra stretch. personally i opt for a very wide starting position and then bring inwards, almost a fly. watch out for weakness or strain in the frontal area of shoulders, where the biceps tie in. this area is put under enormous strain when doing this sort of movement. i use heavy curls to counter that problem and have had excellent lower pec development when coupled with WEIGHTED DIPS (heavy ones). again with dips, watch out for over stretch on the decent. if your arms are nice and stumpy, lucky you. if not, take it easy until your joints/tendons catch up with your strength. my 10 pence.

Whats a dip?

I've always used dips for tri's more than anything - is there a different techique for pecs?

you lean forward whilst dipping

andyboro · 07-11-2006, 03:08 PM

presumably its still going to work your tri's at the same time though?
