Wondering why more people don't do these for tris as opposed to parallel bar which target the chest more. I feel like bench dips really hit the back part of the tricep aka long head which is what most people neglect. A guy at the gym with a skinny frame but great Tris swears by then, he says he does 100 a day using the grease the groove method aka just get them in, doesn't have to be while at the gym. Obvious cons are shoulder health and it's hard to overload them. I feel like when I started lifting I'd see people doing them now it's 100% bar dips. One dip machine at my gym you kind of push back vs straight down and I definitely feel a better triceps contraction. I've also seen people push down behind their body on the leg pads of the assisted chin and dip machine to simulate the movement.
