Once Ron added the "Big" to my name, I only do hammer strength seated chest press, where I turn my body sideways on the chair and do one arm at the time.

Try it, wicked squeeze.

You forgot "no homo" when mentioning "cable crossovers" (no homo).

Mostly, I don't like them because I don't have them in my gym. I do have a bunch of bands (no homo)

I don't do them because my boobs bounce all over the place (muscle is underneath implants) and it distracts not only myself but others in the gym.

they isolate the pecs way better than bench press and after all thats the muscle you're supposed to be working.

Every time somebody uses the GH15 spelling of "balonie", I laugh.

Being one of the bigger guys here, I would not joke about matters regarding hypertrophy.

This is the real deal.

yes Steve nothing wrong with supersets, Dips with push ups to failure. Cable crossovers in my opinion are really for way advanced guys. Vince Gironda did them in a Special decline bench he made. He also liked Dips. Had a great chest in my opinion. it´s like saying you have to Bench to get a good chest..load of rubbish. bill Pearl who had a great chest and Overall size wrote, " although the bench press is a great asset in increasing power, i believe it is considerably overrated as a chest developer exercise...i have found that the best exercises for pectoral development are: bent arm laterals,chest-cross overs,incline presses,decline movements and flyes"

Every newbie asking me for a good pec exercise is sent to do cable crossovers immediately. I never do them myself. None of them have questioned me about this yet.

yeah because they see big guys doing them but do not realise the "meat on the Bones" was built through Basics. However things are changing and i put guys now on a very solid and Basic Routine. Just a few exercises.

can you explain how a muscle knows what exercise its doing please?

Muscles only know stress, stress the muscle and it will respond regardless of the exercise.
