Is it possible to DROP dips / chins in my next cycle? Almost every HST'er i've seen incorporate dips / chins in their workout so i don't know if i should keep it(as much as i hate dips/chins) or not.

For my next cycle, i'm planning on doing 2 chest workouts (incline bench, DB Flys) in one single day because my chest hasn't grown from the past cycle, i was also wondering if its OK to incorporate 2 chest workouts..

Replies appreciated.
 
we just do chins and dips because they ROCK

seriously do whatever feels comfortable - but could you explain why you feel uncomfortable? don't you just know how to do them right? or do you feel pain or?

do you also feel uncomfortable to do lat pull downs therefore?

which are your back/lat exercises?

well of course you can incorporate 2 chest exercises if you can cope with it and it does not need to much time...

the question is just - will it be beneficial...well you have to find out...if you strenght decreases or you are too exhausted go back to just one exercises...and try to focus on that one...

well one last note - watch that you do the bench press in correct fashion or let someone show you how to do it...believe me i did it wrong for about 3 years...until one showed me how to do it REALLY right...then my bench 10rm increased by about 30 pounds... i am 180 pounds right now and my 10rm is around 210 pounds...its not that much, but a lot for me
 
Well i feel uncomfortable with the dips / chins because i just feel its not working...i know it sounds stupid.. It does "burn" when I do em, but afterwards I feel weak and small...Kind of like a mental problem ; /

About the chest problem. My incline bench increased by 30 pounds as well. My chest strength obviously jumped through the roof but...it's not showing

. My chest still looks considerably the same as before I used HST (very small). I have no clue how my strength increased dramatically but not the overall "appearance" of it. So, I want to add another chest workout to my cycle to see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks for the reply btw.
 
i think chins/dips/benchpress and squats are exercises you have to grow into...because proper technique is important

as for benchpress a lot of people use their arms and shoulders much more then they should...

it is kind of hard to describ it but watch:

your shoulders stay down
pull your shoulers back and down
the bar should be on nippel line or slightly below
your wrists/fists should be straigt (not bent)
you should make a wide movement and spread out your arms/chest
when you push it up, watch not to come to high to your face with the bar...keep it low, watch to push with your chest (this is hard but you wil learn it), they movement is a slightly "C" ...so usually you dont push the bar straigh up, you make a slight c awyay from your chest
