    Correct me if i am wrong guys but straight up and down with elbows in will hit your tri's more. I go with a wider hand position and keep elbows leaning forward out and dip very low to where i can feel my chest being pulled.

    Leaning your body foward will hit lower chest even with a close grip dip position.

    I go in cycles. I sometimes do them and sometimes just do weighted dips.

    I love decline... for me its THE lower chest excersise. I get a good seperation line on the lower portion that I just cant get with weighted dips.
