I've never done decline, just always stuck with dips. Should i add decline to my chest day? or are dips better and i should just stick to them?

I usually do dips on triceps day...and do them with a close grip paying attention to form and using mostly triceps.....however...if you are doing wide grip chest dips...definitely do decline presses as well.

I would say to stick with compound lifts like

bench press, military press, clean and jerk, squats, lunges, dips, lat pulldowns, and maybe deadlifts.

well i do wide grip chest dips leaning slightly forward on chest days and bench dips on tricep day

you look like you dont even work out according to your personal picture
no workout traps?

I'm currently doing some maintenance on my upper body while doing a strength program for my legs.
I more than likely won't be able to workout my upper body properly in a near future, so, do you have any suggestions of a mass-building routine I could do; Focusing on the legs? I'm curious

ever thought im not flexing my traps?
ill take a pic today or sometime of flexing my traps though if you want, they aren't small

hey there...

why will you not be able to workout your upper body?

Secondly...the 3 best ways to build straight mass in the legs are:

1. Squats
2. Straight Leg Deadlifts
3. Lunges

This is for PURE mass. If you are looking for sculpting, strength, separation, or any other particular focus, additional exercises are needed.

orly..i never knew str8 leg deads and lunges were that good for building mass
thanks this helps

Doc suspecting a slipped humeral head that caused a bicep tendinitis and perhaps damaged the labrum, he says I need to do re-enforcement work around it to stabilize it..
Also, about those three exercices...How to make that into a program?

All three exercices (what kind of rep scheme?)
Off
Off
All three exercices
Off
Off
etc

Throwing in some calf work too?

Thanks a lot
