When I was in my prime of working out (read: high school weights classes), I became a big fan of dips. I can't remember how often I would do them, but I would do as many as I could until I couldn't push back up any more. Then about 30 seconds after I dropped back down I could feel the results of it. This might sound kinda weird, but it felt a little like breastplate stretching in width along with my pecs tightening up. Sounds painful, but it was the 'good' type of after-workout pain.
I'm not sure where exactly all the work went while doing dips, seemed to hit a lot of muscles, but it at least felt like I was really working out my chest hard. Helped me a ton on my bench presses too. Its important to make sure you don't start swinging back and forth while doing them, which was kinda hard with my feet crossed and my knees bent, but a spotter to gently steady your feet is sometimes helpful.
