Thank you HrdGain. You put into words what I obviously could not.

I was assuming this guy is a relative new-comer to the sport of BB'ing/PL'ing...whatever. If this is the case then I think it would be to his benefit to just focus on getting a strong base all around. Wether you use dips as your main upper lift then w/e. It will probably activate more tri work but I think overall you're hitting less muscle groups then the bench. I think hitting as many muscle groups as possible (with fewer movements) is an excellent way for beginner to go about gaining some size and just generally getting stronger/more fit.

Am I the biggest guy around? Nope. But I have done my fair share of reading and watching other people's journals (as well as my own experimentation with my training) to know a thing or two. Anyways, that is neither here nor there. You know what I think now.
