Push-ups, like vanilla flavors, are reliable, but when you want something different but just as good dips are your answer. Dips also work out your chest, shoulders, and triceps, but focus on slightly different parts of those muscles. Combine that with push-ups and you will build awesome chest and “pushing” strength.
Before you try chest dips, make sure you can do a full push-up and have no pain in your shoulders and elbows. Dips can be done with either your body weight or a weight that’s tied around your waist, between two chairs or parallel bars.
