I have heard that dips are a great chest exercise, and I have been doing them for a few weeks. Thing is, I don't know how to exercise the chest muscles while doing dips rather than the triceps. Is there a specific technique? Thanks.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
When you dip, dip forward, this way your arms are planted and you aren't pulling them in from the sides.

Great question.
Its simple. As you lower your self hunch forward a little and tilt your head down and forward slightly. Youe legs will naturally kick back slightly at that point. As you raise yourself gradually lift up your head up and back slightly and un-hunch yourself. Takes practice to get the form down.
Good luck.

Listen to smack. Just get into the groove of wherever you are strongest. This likely is going to involve multiple muscle groups rather than just your triceps since more muscles would be providing force.
You realize you don't have to feel a muscle being worked for it to be worked right? It's impossible to dip without your chest. People are used to the question of 'targetting' the chest in dips but your question is worded more along the lines that you think you're using triceps and no chest.
I started doing romanian deadlifts the other day and from what i've read a lot of people don't feel it in their hamstrings. I didn't either and i woke up the next morning sore as hell in my hams.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Ahhnold always said to visualize the muscle you're wanting to target. Concentrate on it during the lift. I got some good results doing that. You'd be surprised how much weight lifting is mental.
And trust me, no matter how you do dips, you're hitting your lower inner chest big time.

there are 2 ways to do dips..
to hit more of the chest you must dip low and Think about making your elbows touch each other at the bottom of the movement Squeeze your shoulder blades tight.
To use more tricep keep your arms parallel during the movement.
