Need a explosive chest routine..

[BallzDeep69]

Just wondering how anyone does a couple of reps past failure...and with no spotters to help....Alexxx can you help me here?

And as  Gibberj2 states: going to failure is not needed. In most cases, going to failure should be avoided at all cost if progress in strength and muscle size is the goal. It can be counter productive. Good Luck.

You can't...  Alex is a complete moron, who happens to be very delusional.

[WOOO]

not really, and not at the expense of overtaxing your CNS 
I'd rather avoid that last rep than have to wait a week to train the same muslce again.. k 1 set wont do that much, but going to failure is way overrated.

i think you are confusing "over-training" and "failure" ... the workout i posted uses a moderate amount of sets/reps overall, and when it's done to failure it is very effective and will not overtax your central nervous system as long as you do not try to increase the volume..

IMO, most over-trainers tend to combine going to failure and volume training... doing 20-30 sets of 12 per bodypart to failure would definitely kill your CNS... but going to failure on a moderate number of sets and reps SHOULDN'T

some individuals may be more succeptible than others... personally I find this style of routine very effective... it might not be for everybody though

Work each muscle group once a week. Ive gotten the best results like that.  Too much is overtraining. Heres my routine.

Flat 2 warm up set
4-5 sets 8-10 reps

Incline 4-5 sets 8-10 reps

Incline dumbell press 3 sets heavy 8-10 reps

incline dumbell fly 3-4 sets 8-10 reps

every once in awhile ill do some cable work ie flyes.

After I am done my set of benches I leave the weight on my chest (all done without a spotter) and wait 3 seconds then do half reps and such. After those I will the weight back into submission.

I would have trouble resting my 520 on my chest for 3 seconds.  But Alexxx with his 660 benches... for a dead stop at the chest....whooooooo....Ma ma...!

Alexx is the Surpreme Being of lifting. Good Luck to all the rest of us.
