I posted a question about doing DB flyes instead of Dips a few weeks ago. Basically what I got from everyone was that Dips is a lot better for the chest than flyes. I am doing Incline Bench press all 3 days a week, but I wanted a second chest exercise. I started my first week of 15s this week with Dips as my second exercise, and I'm still not sold on it. I definitely feel it, but there are two main problems: first, how am I supposed to increase resistance every workout if I was BARELY able to do one set of 15 with just my bodyweight? Second, like I said, I do feel it, but not in my chest, just my arms and shoulders (and I am leaning forward).
I mean, is DB flyes really that bad? What I learned this week is that I can BARELY dip my bodyweight after two sets of Incline Bench press. Seems like flyes would be a good change of pace after Benching, since dips IS basically decline benching. Anyways, just hoping someone could help me out here. One more thing, the most common negative thing I hear about flyes is that you can't go heavy, but when I maxed out, my 5RM for flyes was 55 pounds in each hand (that's a lot to me).
Thanks
