The chest dip is a great exercise to use to target the muscles of the chest. It will also indirectly work the muscles of the triceps and shoulders as well.
Chest dips effectively hit the lower region of the pec, similarly to the decline bench press. However, it follows a vertical pressing movement pattern, which provides a unique stimulus for the muscles of the chest.
It is best to master the bodyweight variation of this exercise prior to adding weight via weighted vests, belts, or chains.
The dip can be performed as part of your chest workouts, push workouts, upper body workouts, or full body workouts.
