The power of hypertrophy compells you! Honestly, I used Max-OT and got from 215 to 245 keeping my 16% bodyfat throughout. Any program provided you're not stupid about it will yield gains.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that, but I have no will power to stay away from the iron. I thought that after a week you'll start loosing muscle. I'm also wondering if my maxes would stay the same with such a long lay-off. Any thoughts to this?

For your dips, it'll most likely get easier as the reps get fewer. I think it's a good idea to factor in putting a dumbbell between your legs.
