Dips for Chest & Dips for Tricep
Had a quick search but I couldn't find an answer for this.
If you want to focus on the tricep when doing dips should the body be as vertical as possible or leant forward?
And then which way to focus on chest?
I seem to hit both which ever way I do them but was wondering how best to concentrate my form depending on whether I want to work chest or tricep.

Or for that matter should elbows be out or tucked in?

More vertical = more trieps
More horizontal = more chest
Both will hit chest/tris/shoulders

^^^^and no need to lock out the arms fully for chest dips but make sure you go down to parallel
for triceps dips lock out the arms fully

Elbows in
(Similar to CGBP if you think about it)

And go deeper to hit the chest even more

SHUT THE F*CK UP AND LIFT!
Re: Dips for Chest & Dips for Tricep
elbows out will hit chest more, elbows in will hit tricep more. More important is the angle of your body though...

Just do them however feels the most comfortable and get very strong on them IMO.

I've started holding a 15 kg dumbell between my legs doing dips now, definitely feeling the benefit.

+1 This should be the prime concern IMO.

Stop testing on dogs now...
...Your nearest anti-vivisectionist is a far more reliable model.
