for 4 sets of 8 reps.

abs

Fly Machine

140 x 10

Don't know about doing the same workout every chest day.And most will say it's to many set's.I'm not one of those guys though I squeeze as many sets as possible into an hour.

Too many sets in my opinion.....

try to do 3 warm ups and then 2-3 working sets.... just my 2 cents.

oh....... one more thing

do your triceps work on another day, seperate from chest and shoulders.

trust me.... you'll get a better triceps workout.

No.  I disagree with that.  Maybe for bodybuilding, but not powerlifting.
