Drop sets on Smith Machine to fry chest!
« on: January 25, 2007, 08:21:32 AM »
Start with a good weight like 2 plates per side.  Do 8-10 and drop by 30lbs till you are just lifting the bar, and you'll be glad you're on a smith or you'd be all over the place.  It doesn't leave a fiber in your entire pec region untouched.  Try this for a month on your last set for chest, instead of cables.  You will see at least 2 inches added to your chest if you hit it weekly and go to failure.  The pain and pump are so good you'll want to do it during all your chest sets, but don't.  1 month on and a month off are the best ways to stimulate growth.  Try it, you'll never know till you do.

Start off with hammer flat bench warm up 2x20 1 plate each side.  Work set work up to 4 plates and go till failure.  Incline machine preses.  3 sets starting with 150 (weight stack) ending with max which says 300, but is more like 200 10-12 reps.  Decline bench press free weights.  Start with 225 for 10,  275 for 8-10. 305 till failure.  Then I hit the smith machine.  Nothing left after that chest workout.  Your pecs will thank you.   That's this month, I change workouts every month or so to hit everything and not to get complacent where the weights don't give me that pumped out feeling.  That's chest, now I hit bis.  Tuesday back, traps, and rear delts and abbs.   Wed off,  Thursday Front delts, side delts and calfs and abbs.  Friday quads, hamstrings, calfs.  We squat till someone quits.  Sat and Sun are cardio, if anything.  And I end each workout with 1/2 hour of card.  Bike, Stepper, or treadmill.  Workout takes about 1 hour & 15 min with shower.
