Not me.  I can dip like no other, all the way down to the bottom.  40-60 reps easily.  I could NEVER do that with Bench Press.

Dipping is way easier than putting up your body weight in the bench. thought this was the case for all.

The body is ultimately made to move itself in body weight movements like dip, squat, chins, pushups. Obviously using a bench press requires a unnatural and very isolating movement.

49 reps. You need to have a good cardio base, besides strength.
