There comes a time to just quit the bitching and get to work....
For those that have watched my posts and my weekly bitching about dips. I finally decided to just say phuck it and get away from the weight assisted dips.
I took a slightly wider grip and felt it in my upper chest hard core. I made sure I came down slowly, but not super slow. Above all else my mission was control. Being my first body weight excercise I learned two important things today. #1 I'm a heavy bitch, and #2 I just don't push myself to my full potential.
First set was surprisingly easy for the first three reps, then it felt like somebody grabbed onto my ankles but I still go two more reps out. So I put my feet down and I'm jacked!! The next two sets were the same as the first, except that person holding onto my ankles was there for all five reps. I was shaking like a meth head looking for a fix, but I didn't care. I was doing it damn it. I told myself before that "gym image" doesn't mean anything to me, but I suppose until today I didn't really put that out of my mind. I felt super comfortable today and can't wait to get back there.I do my best to focus on the task at hand, and give 100% in what I'm doing at the time. Nothing else matters except the task at hand.

If I were you I would keep your push days simple
OH press- standing 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps
Dips- do as many sets as it takes to do 50
Regular pushups- do as many sets as it takes to do 100
You could do them as a superset or separately.
In my opinion you don't even need to do bench work.
Honestly, at your weight doing that will do a lot for you. You have a lot of mass to move. That will give you a very strong base.
You will get super strong in your core from doing those three movements.No strength within, no respect without - Kasmiri Proverb

I have did dips all of my life and love them. The thing about this fella is he is in it for health, not for bodybuilding. Dips are a great compound exercise and I am pretty sure I have never heard anyone say they have never did em. While I respect your opinion about you dont like em, I still say they are fantastic! I load plates onto my dips and after I am done, I feel like I did much more than I do after a bench session!

Personally form me it was a bench mark of sorts. I've been struggling with them for three months and now I finally have the strength for them. I've got a long road to travel and many goals to conquer along the way. This was just the first. At no point was I told that I HAVE to do dips, it was something that I personally wanted. Next goal is body weight pull ups, which I haven't tried yet but intend to next back day. Who knows I surprise myself.
I do my best to focus on the task at hand, and give 100% in what I'm doing at the time. Nothing else matters except the task at hand.

Lat Pulldowns vs. Pull-ups...
Lets assume equally wide grips and all. Which is a better excercise and why. We'll assume the general goal here is strength building.

Pullups are far more superior to pulldowns. There are tons and tons of articles around. Do a search you will find em!

Dips and Chinups are two awesome exercises, and are by no means easy, so its great you're making a point of including them in your program. The results and ego-boost you'll get from doing them will be well worth the effort!http://www.getlifting.info

No wonder i never do em!! I never train chest , tris or shoulders together. for me chest and back are to large of a muscle group to be sharing with another muscle. Although i do bi/tr together. and i give shoulders there own day as well

I have found lately that a lot of women don't like dips. I personally hate them and never do them. I'm sure they're a great exercise though.
Shut up and Lift!
