4) Dip vs. 5) Bench Press

The ultimate face off for the arms and chest. Which exercise is better for you? Which do you enjoy the most?

Dips are cool and easy to do negs without a training partner, but I have to go with the Bench.

I like bench better, but believe that dips provide better resuts.

I believe weighted dips will win out as you can do more weight than with bench...could I be wrong?

Bench advances, so a no go for the Dips!

Can I change my vote?

I voted for the Bench press but I think I am starting to like the dip. I think there is some psychological affect that makes me not bench to my fullest. Probably I keep picturing me getting out of strength and the bar falling to my chest or something. With dips, I don't mind to fail, and as I mentioned it is easier to do negs.
The only thing with dip is that I *THINK* it is harder on the shoulders.

Voting closed, and the votes could not change... but please vote in the latest matchups!

Bench by a mile. Don't get me wrong - I love dips. Do I love them more than bench? Um, no.
