"one thing i dont understand is the dip. ive read that article at mensfitness before and i know it lists the dip as a horizontal movement. i never understood why since while doing the dip you are moving your body up and down, which would make it a vertical movement. then i read the home workout bible by lou and mike m. and it lists the dip as a vertical movement. anyone know which one is right?"

I've always thought it was horizontal. Although your body is moving vertically, your push is more horizontal than verticle. Of course, I could be wrong... [img]smile.gif[/img]
