I use dips for chest rehab. It works shoulder, triceps and lats too, but I use a form that works chest primarily. I'm not particularly good at dips, I only do them once a month. I do that little because it's a very harsh exercise on my pecs. I injured both collarbones when little during events I can't remember, and I got my sternum pushed in during a car crash in my teens. I weigh 107 kg, down 9 kg since my 165 & 170 kg squat videos (1 year). I have lost so much weight for two reasons: I doubled my hiking and I switched from a bodybuilding inspired workout (with 100-200 reps per session times 3-5 a week) into a strength workout with lower and lower reps a day. Now I typically only do one set. I just don't get pumped up. The best dips session I did was 11 dips for 5 sets before my heart problems (that later lead to the gym fail video) late spring 2014. I used to do sets of 10 and several times 5 sets. I thought it would be easy to get 15 by the end of last year but I could only do 14 at a bodyweight over 110 kg. Before 2014 I had not yet figured out how to do dips. I found it one of the most awkward movements. The first time I remember doing dips was when 6 and I was showing teammates in my first soccer team, there were railings at the soccer field. I could do 7 and I was dissappointed.
