Dips vs Bench press

So are weighted dips good enough for chest development to replace bench press? Cause I'm not keen on getting stuck under the barbell when I fail a rep on BP without a spotter.

I got short overarms and long orearms so i do dips isntead of bench. I dont see any difference in gains.

If you want a good/big chest then bench press isnt the solution anyways. You WILL have to do some form of isolation exercise for it.

do dips+dumbbell bench, its the best option, also consider doing floor press, it will build explosive strength like no other and overloads the triceps far better than any full ROM press does, safe to do too

you might as well not bench press my man

>long orearms
long underarms*

Sure is motivation to not fail your last rep

>If you want a good/big chest then bench press isnt the solution anyways.

wrong

Its part of the solution, but its not mandatory and not needed.

> I'm not keen on getting stuck under the barbell when I fail a rep on BP without a spotter

I don't understand this complaint at all. Rolling the bar off of you ("the roll of shame") is both easy and safe.

did someone say

>weighted dips

just ask someone to spot you on the last few sets you autist.
