chest mass

[Silverback]

To much for your chest IMO--

I would do something like

Flat bench
Incline DB presses
Flyes(machine, pec deck, DB)

Then the next week

Incline bench
Decline bench or db's
flyes


That is enough for me and most people--- Try that for awhile and mix up the sets and reps

Chest is also a week point for me but since shortening my routine I have had better results

-- Also you may want to minimize your front lateral raises in your shoulder routine, they seem to overpower my chest and take some of the work

All I do for chest is flat bench and incline.

Set 1:warm up225 for 15-20
set 2: 275 for 10
Set 3:315 for 6
set 4:315 for 6
Set 5: Drop set: 345 for 3 then strip 2 225 for 10-12 then drop to 135 for as many as I can get

Move to incline and do 5 sets increasing incrementaly from 185 to 265 and I'm done.

Then every 3 months I switch to all dumbells.

Hey rob i gotta question for you. How much weight are you lifting for all those chest exercises. Because if it is not going up every week well you are not going to see shit for gains. The bigger the weight the bigger the muscle(very simple) flat dumbelss, dips and incline smith are 3 great exercises for a big chest too. And a couple light warm-up sets then your 1 all out set and you should be exploding and stretch your chest out too.

Ps: As i am writing my chest is sore as fuck right now, pumped up and swole all i did was 3 sets of dips yesterday my tri's got hit too all tight and sore right now.

[Starkraven]

my chest is sore as well. yesterday i started training again and did chest/shoulders/tris but for chest i did incline db, flat db, and weighted dips with a wide grip to hit the chest. i also grew very well when i did incline db, flat db and incline db flyes. i didnt know about dips back then but now i should grow even better.

this is a later response, but yes, my old training partner was an absolute animal, and while everyone else was playing games getting overly creative, he was growing like a weed.
