Cowpimps sticky Q.

[kinkery]

he has Upper body horizontal push: bench press, decline press, dips, DB bench press, etc.

wouldn't Dips be Upper body Vertical Push?

 

[Nate K]

I think it works more like a horizontal push, especailly if you lean forward. This moreso than a vertical push such as overhead B.B.

 

[Gazhole]

I count them as a vertical push.

 

[P-funk]

i count them as vertical too.

 

[AKIRA]

I count them as horizontal, so HAH.

 

[kinkery]

well i guess he could mean bench dips with your feet on another bench/chair. that'd be right but the dips i do are vertical

 

[AKIRA]

It really depends on what your trying to target. I lean forward so its almost like a decline bench angle.

wouldn't that make it a incline angle? because if your leaning forward that'd be like incline and if you were to lean back(i wouldnt see that happening with anyone) it'd be a decline angle.

Vertical in my book.

 

[kinkery]

So we have CORRECTED Cowpimp lol.

Well normally whenever P Funk says this is this way, I normally say ok. Well until we start talking westside.

 

[kinkery]

actually it can be either way, depends on how you do them.
horizontal - http://exrx.net/WeightExercises/PectoralSternal/WtChestDip.html
vertical - http://exrx.net/WeightExercises/Triceps/WtTriDip.html

if your scapulae is retracting and expanding it is horizontal if not than it is vertical.

Yup, vertical for me then.

Good post, Mike.

Actually, when I make programs for my clients or myself and use dips, I consider it vertical. I don't know why that's in there like that. I'm going to change it, although it's all semantics anyway and probably doesn't matter that much in the end.
