Title: split it like this?
Post by: texasRUSH on August 02, 2006, 08:05:51 AM

one day do chest with just pressing movements and then the next chest day do all flying movements?  ???

lately i've been focusing more on the pressing side of things because my goals have been oriented as such...

anyone doing it this way? or should i just use flying movements as just a finishing or warming up exercise like i have been? I dont' see them as mass builders...I go heavy...working with 80 and 90lb dumbbells...but nothing extreme.

personally i think giving flying a whole day is a waste (unless you're talking about flying to vegas or something)

Why try to work a muscle that is already tore down and trying to recover?

i do flyes at the end of my chest routine...

80 pound DB flyes is pretty extreme...lol

my chest day looks like this...

BB bench - power training
Incline DB press
Cable or DB flyes

4 sets of each...all BB bench sets are doubles and triples after warmups. all incline and flye sets are 6-12 reps to positive failure.

???  That's like saying doing low cable curls with 200lbs is big.  :-\ ;) :)

as compared to what? most people work with way to light of weight I think. 

I've yet to see anyone use the hundi's for flyes yet...

I usually do 8 total sets twice a week...

That's really heavy if you are using strict form...i know guys who press 500+ raw and they on use 60's for flyes.

i never use anything over 60's myself, starts to bother my rotator cuff. i get an excellent flye workout using cables as well. for me it's more about the stretch and contraction when doing flyes.

i get more of a "full volumizing" feel with cables...

with the dumbbells I only really feel much work at the bottom of the exercise to about halfway up.
