But hey, dips don't equate to boxing!
It depends on what you are trying to do. Dips are a tricepts excercise, but if you want to work on your chest keep your elbows wide. But if your trying to get your tris stronger keep them in, and keep your form very strict. Every excercise you do should be targeted to one muscle. Concentrate on feeling that muscle and the contractions.
No that's bullshit, absolute crap. That's bodybuilding not boxing.
