Dips enough for Chest/Shoulder/Tri?

[Rippt]

I feel that I have overworked front delts from doing dips/incline/shoulder press; so would Dips alone be good for growing chest/shoulders/tris?
I figure it works all three functions and I'll add side lying delt and OH tri ext. for stretch.
?

With the added exercises it should be enough. However, I wouldn't make an ongoing habit of it. I usually incorporate military presses and shrugs into almost all my workouts as they target the delts and traps specifically.

Oh yeah, and I do shrugs, just trying to minimize the pressing exercises while keeping everything growing.

I'd say O & G is on the right track.

Dips can be done in two fashions, head straight up and back - Hitting the entire shoulder frame and the tricep and head facing down chin touching chest emphasising more the chest area.

Chest dip

Triceps Dip

Interesting, Dips is the first exercise in order of priority on both of the above web pages one step cak when going to chest or tricep

You could always do a cycle with just maintance work for your shoulders say only 1 set 2 a week.

But eventually you need to get back to incorporating them into every workout.
