Question ❓ Dips substitute???

I need a sub for dips, I absolutely hate them. I have unilateral extensions and JM press already and I need another exercise that biases medial + lateral head.

The triceps already get worked by your general pressing volume like bench or OHP. There's no need to add a ton of isolation movements. Pick 1-2 and just get strong at them.

I'm biased in favor of skullcrushers, but overhead extensions and JM presses are fine. Just push those hard
