I'm pretty new to lifting weights seriously but ever since I can remember, I've never been able to barbell bench press without serious pain in my shoulders along with a lot of not very pleasant noises. Yes it is probably form that is the issue but I've reached the point now where i'm fed up of trying to correct my form and instead just focus on other exercises. Now the obvious alternative is dumbbell chest press and I can do this without any pain, still some strange clicking going on but nothing major.
Main question is whether dips would be more beneficial for building your chest than the dumbbell press? Or should I be throwing both in to the mix anyway? Really like doing dips, can knock about 30-40 out without much issue, so usually strap 15-20kg on for main sets.
The other thing that bugs me is that I never get doms in my chest, no matter what I do. Can guarantee after working any other muscle (biceps, triceps, quads, hammys etc) that i'll have doms the next day, but never in my chest. Is this normal or a sign I'm doing something wrong/not lifting enough weight?
