Finished out my chest workout yesterday with some weighted dips to really get a good pump in the lower pectoral muscles.
When doing dips for chest day, I prefer to lean forward and typically have my head down. This helps me to focus the workload into my chest as opposed to sitting further back and keeping my head up, which tends to have the shoulders bearing the majority of the load.
One reason I really like dips is because they allow you to easily deploy negatives in your workout and without the need of a spotter. I typically continue to failure with my dips and then extend beyond by adding negatives afterward. This is a great way to completely work your chest and really get a good pump. You can if course adjust the weight you use (if at all) to tailor your dips to your workout as well.
In general, especially for the lower pectoral muscle, dips are an awesomely versatile exercise!
