Dips are sometimes referred to as the "Upper body Squat" many lifters have built a huge and powerful chest by incorporating this exercise. You can hold dumbbells with your legs or use a dip belt to hold plates or dumbbells. Will definitely add thickness to your triceps and chest some delts. Remember not to bounce or drop to the bottom.
Read that Pat Casey (old time powerlifter) use to parallel bar dip I believe 380 plus his body weight for 1 rep which put his total weight over 600 lbs on dips; he was the first to bench 600 raw.
