Oh, you like the triceps version of dips. I’m working on getting a 32″ wide V-bar so I can actually work the chest.

I get some chest action from it as well, but I just like the way this movement feels. Wide V-bar is awesome by the way. Unrelated to this…question for you Ryan, have you had any experience with the trap bar?

If we’re thinking about the same thing, no. To my knowledge, the trap bar is only useful for shrugs, deadlifts/squats. I don’t use compounds and I avoid trap work like the plague; it detracts from your optical shoulder width.
