It is a very challanging exercise and is a good sub for pressing. I agree about the handstand pushup. It is a very challanging exercise and is a good sub for pressing.

Dips and pushups...what more does a person really need other than consistency and a weight vest? I always liked the quote “dips are the upper body squat”.

I'm really grateful :D By the way, I also believe in the power of classic exercises like dips and push-ups, these are the basis of everything! Thanks for the nice article, Zoli Hey Chris,

What is you aversion to it? It gets your chest strong. Just because it is overused by no-nothings doesn't mean it isn't the best for building "functional" chest strength. All the exercises you listed are great but if you want a chest like armor your doing yourself a disfavor by not using the best chest strengthening exercise available.

Nothing adds shape and definition to the chest like pushups. @Nate, love that 100 dips idea... just getting there at the end of the workout, going to try that this week.

When I went back to try bench pressing again I found that I was even stronger with deeper range of motion. +1 for dips. I took a break from doing bench presses and just did dips for over a year.

Given your affinity for BW exercises, thought I'd add that all three exercises can be done without equipment. Handstand push-ups are a terrific substitute for the push press with all sorts of variations to increase/decrease difficulty. Definitely my personal favorite. Great post.
