  My favorite dip exercise is tucking my knees into the chest, lean forward a bit, then proceeding to perform the workout. My son and I call them, “cannonballs”. Super fun and we REALLY feel it in the chest. Thanks for the content brother!!

  Weighted push-ups as shown with the dip belt on dip bars have been my staple for over a year now (I implemented them after one of Daniel&apos;s videos btw). After a proper bulk over that same year (+16 kg) and no chest isolation exercise, my chest is arguably my most developed muscle, so you can&apos;t go wrong with them, just pull the dip belt up to your mid back (you don&apos;t need to go higher) and your core stability will be fine, the chest will take the load. The argument that dips can be progressed forever applies to push-ups too, so long as you got weight to add to your belt, you can progress. What I like about them is that as Daniel says in the video, they&apos;re easier on your joints (weighted dips hurt my right collarbone) and you don&apos;t need to overthink stability, just keep your core straight and you&apos;re set. Also, because you can go deep if you&apos;re on dip bars or equivalent, which not everyone can with dips because of joint discomfort, you put your chest in a stretched position that is best for hypertrophy and man, when you go up on those last 3 reps of a set, your triceps are on fire!

  Allways when I watch your videos I feel the urge to build my own gym.

  Both. I retired from benching and doing one arm push-ups and do ring dips to help get into ring muscle ups

  My program for chest and tricep (no gym):<br><br>3x12 dips for lower chest<br>3x15 push ups for middle chest<br>3x15 push ups with feet on the higher ground for upper chest <br><br>Perform each exercise slowly and in a controlled manner, executing both the negative and positive phases and extending your arms at the elbows at the end of the positive phase.

  After resistance training for 45+yrs, I&apos;ve really grown to love and respect push-ups and neutral grip inverted rows.
