Hello Guys,
what do you think is the best push exercise for the upper body if you have to pick one?
I have read that Pavel thinks dips are better than military press (if your shoulder is ok with it).
But I dont get really why it is so. Because the military press gets you better neck muscles, a better shoulder stability (because all parts of the shoulder are trained at the top) and it trains the complete body (tension).
Where dips dont train the neck, train only the front part of the shoulder and dont give you more total body tension.
And then there is also the push up (weighted) which is the best for shoulder health, gives you body tension, but sadly trains only the front part of the shoulder and dont develop big neck muscels.
So what do you think, which of the above mentioned exercise is the best push exercise for the upper body? (no bench press, because i dont have one)
My workout plan at the moment:
Mo: Cycling/ running
Tu: Deadlift + Military Press
We: Cycling/ running
Thu: Squat + Weighted Push ups
Fr: Cycling/ running
Sa: Deadlift + Military Press
So: Off
Mo: Cycling/ running
Tu: Deadlift + Military Press
and so on.
All the best
