tricep dips

[Darcy Tucker]

I follow the Wannabe Be Big program and don't really like french presses. Would this be a good alternate routine for me.

close grip ez bar bench press 2 sets of 8,6 reps
weighted dips " " "
rope pulldowns 1 set of 10 reps

I also do dips on chest day but emphazize my chest.

Looks fine for a tricep workout. I personally would only use dips for one workout, not both. If you like using them for both and you keep progressing than go for it.

I donlt see why you canlt use dips instead.. The tri workout is 4 days after the chest one anyhow so I would say its fine...

on tricep day do bench dips and on chest day do parallel dips

Bench dips suck

[Behemouth]

bench dips are not as good as parallel dips but they take a lot of strain off the chest and allow your chest more time to recover.

[Darcy Tucker]

I think I might add in the pecdeck and just go very heavy with dips on tricep day.

[Behemouth]

if your chest can recover from the dips in time for chest day go for it. the only problem is the recovery. when i do dips they really hit my pecs hard. the only reason i recommended bench dips was because the post was about dips and and i don't think that you will have enough time to recover for chest day doing parallel dips on tricep day. (assuming you train each bodypart once a week) like i said before if you can do dips without hitting your chest much or you feel you can recover sufficiently for chest day go for it.
