Dips

Dips are contraindicated for athletes with shoulder pathology, but for all others, it is a very effective exercise for the pectorals, front deltoids, and triceps.

Maintain a vertical torso for more shoulder and tricep involvement, and a forward lean to increase pectoral recruitment.

Descend slowly and under complete control, and be careful not to exceed your shoulder's range of motion. Return back to the top position by contracting your pecs, deltoids, and triceps. Repeat for indicated number of reps.

If needed, extra resistance may be provided through weight plates attached to a belt, or by placing a dumbbell between your calves.

If I'm doing 2-5 dips max, is it OK to do these everyday? I'm 150 pounds and almost 5-11 but I'm trying to get rid of some sid boob. Lol. It's weird because I'm skinny everywhere else.

I'd suggest 2-3 times/week.
