  1. If I want to focus on Pecs(or Tricep), how do you adjust your form?

    To focus on triceps do dips the normal way, with hands on the edge of
    the bench and legs angled down to the floor some distance away and lower
    and raise yourself up from the bench. No barbell is required.

    If you want your dips to focus on pecs then lie down on the bench and
    push a barbell up from your chest. We call those kind of dips bench
    presses.

    The more forward you lean, or the more you flex your spine, the more
    emphasis you place on your pectoral muscles, and the less you emphasis
    you place on triceps.

    Because the subject is "dip target muscle", which has absolutely nothing to
    do with bench press, so, this being MFW, getting as far off topic as
    possible is pretty normal.

    You ARE talking about lesbian powerlifting gun-toting dogs doing dips,
    aren't you?

    No matter what you do, you will involve the pecs and anterior delts to
    a large degree. You can put the majority of the emphasis on the
    triceps by keeping as upright as possible while dipping and keeping
    the elbows closer to your body. You'll also wind up putting a ton of
    stress on your anterior delts this way, but there is no way around it.
    If you want to do dips more so as a pec exercise lean forward while
    dipping and let the elbows flare out more, almost like a decline
    press. Some gyms have a v-shaped dipping bar. If your's does the
    wider your grip is the more you'll hit the pecs and vice versa for the
    triceps.

  8. Plenty of "dips" here, and they mainly concentrate on peckers.

    Exactly. As long as she knows what she's getting into. Border Collie's
    are highly active working dogs that want...NEED...a job to do. Herding
    sheep, competing in flyball, or agility, or doing lots of hiking,
    or...whatever. A bored Border Collie is an ugly concept.

    I agree. They are not dogs that can just sit around the house all day. But
    if they are active enough (entertained enough?), they are fine.

    I remember years ago a friend who got a young border collie and was bringing
    it home. He thought the dog needed to releive himself, so he let him out at
    a park. It had baseball fields at the park with little league games going
    on. And the herding instinct kicked in. This half grown bordie collie went
    into a herding frenzy and herded all the kids on the field into the baseball
    backstop.

    The kids were upset and scared. The parents were furious. And since he just
    got the dog, he had no real infuence over him. When the dog got everybody
    packed against the backstop, he dashed in there, scooped up the dog and ran
    back to his truck with several angry parents chasing him.

    That dog had a leash on him everytime in public after that.

    Not to discourage you or anything. 😉

    I grew up with a border collie. She was a great dog. Smart, too.
    Actually, too smart. She figured out how to open door knobs with her
    teeth.

    We now must consider the issue: is a Border Collie too smart for our
    liberal Massechesetts name-changing prospective owner?

    I know about them. My sister has border collies. It happened slowly,
    but eventually the madness grew. First there were two of them and they
    were trained for herding competitions. Then they got two more and they
    also won competitions and then two more because, heck, why not.

    Along the way they had to buy their dogs a flock of sheep, and
    eventually some outside guard dogs to keep the coyotes away... yes, her
    dogs have dogs. And they got a specially equipped travel trailer for
    going to border collie competitions, and started doing Border Collie
    rescue, and tiled their entire house, and now they've got a litter of
    puppies (included in that 15 count).

    I'm worried about the activity level. I'm home and available to take
    him for a short run at lunchtime. I've also got two boys who have
    signed up to do morning and afternoon walks. We've got tennis balls and
    wooded trails for running on, but we honestly don't take Ela (our Lab)
    out running more than once or twice a week - a lot of our exercise is at
    the gym or on bikes. I'm working as an accountant, not a forest ranger.
    And we don't have a herd of sheep. Can an active family of five in a
    suburban environment HAVE a border collie? I'd rate us as better than
    average dog owners, but border collies are sort of the big league in
    terms of need.

    Delenn, you have not approached this from a modern technological
    perspective. You should invest in high tech satellite transmission
    equipment and outfit your self with the latest portable computers. Then you
    can do your accountant work and run with the dog at the same time. And your
    clients would love it!

    You would be the ultimate power momma!

    NEVER get a dog assuming the kids will have anything to do with it.
    Anything you get from the kids, or the husband, is a bonus. It's unfair
    to the dog to assume otherwise. Get the dog for YOU.

    Sure, if "active" is stuff the dog can do, too. If "active" is the gym,
    the Marxist Bridge Club, the Swinging Oldies Wife Swap Get Together,
    and an occasional walk in the woods, no.

    So, get some other breed. A Liberal Left Wing East Coast Foo Foo dog.
    Something French. A Petite Basset Griffon Vendeen, maybe.

    Anything you get from the kids, or the husband, is a bonus. It's unfair
    to the dog to assume otherwise. Get the dog for YOU.

    We've got tennis balls and
    wooded trails for running on, but we honestly don't take Ela (our Lab)
    out running more than once or twice a week - a lot of our exercise is at
    the gym or on bikes. I'm working as an accountant, not a forest ranger.
    And we don't have a herd of sheep. Can an active family of five in a
    suburban environment HAVE a border collie?

    Sure, if "active" is stuff the dog can do, too. If "active" is the gym,
    the Marxist Bridge Club, the Swinging Oldies Wife Swap Get Together,
    and an occasional walk in the woods, no.

    Border collies don't need a huge range. But they like to have a yard
    to patrol.

    Because the subject is "dip target muscle", which has absolutely nothing
    to
    do with bench press, so, this being MFW, getting as far off topic as
    possible is pretty normal.

    You ARE talking about lesbian powerlifting gun-toting dogs doing dips,
    aren't you?

    Speaking of which, we've been contemplating getting a border collie
    puppy. We know we ought not to. Talk me out of it, please.

    Why? They're great dogs, very eager to please. They do like to be
    kept busy, though.

    That's the understatement of the century. ;-)
    We adopted an older border collie from the shelter a couple of years ago.
    Never EVER stands still and is better at killing squirrels than a cat!

    Fastest dog I've ever seen.

    Exactly. As long as she knows what she's getting into. Border Collie's
    are highly active working dogs that want...NEED...a job to do. Herding
    sheep, competing in flyball, or agility, or doing lots of hiking,
    or...whatever. A bored Border Collie is an ugly concept.

    I grew up with a border collie. She was a great dog. Smart, too.
    Actually, too smart. She figured out how to open door knobs with her
    teeth.

    If you are not sure what dog to get, read this. ;-)

    How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?

    Border Collie: Just one. Then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to
    code.

    Rottweiler: Make me!

    Lab: Oh, me, me! Pleeease let me change the light bulb! Can I? Huh? Huh?

    Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

    Malamute: Let the Border Collie do it. You can feed me while he's busy.

    Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the
    walls.

    Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

    Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

    Mastiff: Screw it yourself! I'm not afraid of the dark...

    Doberman: While it's out, I'll just take a nap on the couch.

    Boxer: Who needs light? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the
    dark.

    Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there!

    Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb?

    Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little
    circle...

    Old English Sheep dog: Light bulb? That thing I just ate was a light
    bulb?

    Basset Hound: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

    Westie: Dogs do not change light bulbs -- people change light bulbs.
    I am not one of THEM so the question is, how long before I can expect my
    light again?

    Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it.
    By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

    Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our
    whole lives ahead of us,
    and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out bulb?

    Personally, I adore my border collie! I'm just glad I have a very large
    fenced yard. ;-)

    First dog I've ever had that I had to buy a regular supply of squeeky
    toyes for........
