Which of these two exercises would be best to use for functional strength development of the upper body and pressing muscles when used 3-4 times per week?
The reason I ask which one alone would be best is because frankly, I like to keep things simple, with as few exercises as possible. My workout plan basically consists of 3-4 days per week of strength work in the gym (weighted pistols, weighted pull-ups and currently military presses, although I may exchange the press for dips, depending on the verdict of this thread) as well as GTG bodyweight pistols and OAPUs, and boxing training 3 times per week.
Finally, would performing only one of these exercises still aid the other if I later went back to it? E.g. If I chose to do only dips, would adding a few kilos to my dips maybe add a little to my military press, and vice versa? Or would I need to practice all pressing exercises in order to add any weight to them at all?
Thanks in advance!
