JP Fitness Forums - View Single Post - Help: Finding list of exercises by plane of movement

Hi all,
Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but I was searching the internet and this is what I found. I am still confused because I just read an article which places dips in vertical push because the definition they use is : "upper body exercises wherein you move the resistance overhead or in a vertical pattern beneath you." It goes on to further state that "you may work many of the same muscles as you do in a horizontal push, they are recruited very differently due to the different angle."

I really want to understand the exercises in relation to planes of movement. It just makes more sense to me to put dips on a vertical push day because you are pushing with your body up and down (away from the body vertically), not in and out (away from the body horizontally). Does this make any sense?

Can someone help me? Even if I'm completely wrong, I want to know so I better understand the entire principal as this method is new to me and so far it has been pretty difficult to find information on it.

Thanks.
