My chest is definitely my week muscle group, Everyting on me grows like a mofo, except my chest. I need to really shock it or something most of my chest exercises are on the machines due to lack of a spotter, so come on help a bratha out..
-
Dips
Incline DB presses
Pec Decks
Two sets each, 8-12 reps, twice to three times a week.
Good luck.

Thanks JPM Ill try that... Thanks for looking out

Wooo, You can keep that reply for someone else.

I bench press and incline press and I've never had a spotter. I use barbells as well. Be intelligent, and don't try and do another rep if you had to struggle like mad to get the last one up.

hahaha... no disrespect dude... just playing around! IMO you need to find a spotter for chest day... that or just ask some random person for help on your heaviest sets... a spotter let's you really push to failure and that's going to lead to more growth than the specific exercises you do...
you want a workout?
try:
(Use full ROM on all exercises)
Flat Bench, 2 warm up sets, 4 working sets, Reps: 12,10,8,4+pause, then to failure (use a weight that you can get for 4 reps, then rack it, rest 30 seconds only, then try to get 2-3 more reps)
Incline Dumbbell Press, 1 warm up set, 3 working sets, Reps: 12,10,8 (ensure that you control the dumbbells taking about 2 seconds for each half rep; 2 seconds down, 2 seconds up and squeeze your chest at the top of the rep)
Flat Dumbbell Flys, 3 working sets, Reps: 12,10,10 (again ensure that you control the dumbbells taking about 2 seconds for each half rep; 2 seconds down, 2 seconds up and squeeze your chest at the top of the rep)
If you have any gas left in the tank do 2 more sets of an exercise of your choice, either a machine or hammer press or cables or whatever.
Chest is all about the mind-muscle connection; feeling it working... NOT about the weight that you are using, go as heavy as you can with good form.
Peace 8)

pause on the chest for a sec at bottom of each rep. takes stress of delts and tris and recruits more chest muscles. promise ust try it
-
Goudy that sounds like it would work!

i promise you. see after one set it feels so touch its incredible. really feel the chest work.

you dont need a spotter just go one rep SHORT OF FALIURE. I squat heavy 4-6 reps sometimes and I don't use a spotter.

SPOTTER = ONE MORE REP ..... ONE MORE REP = GOOD

PUSSIES!
I never train with a training partner because no one can keep up with me anyways. I always do a couple of reps past failure and chest is one of my best bodyparts. Man up you weak little men.

There is no way your chest is as big as your mouth. I think you need to man up and start your 1st set with a heavier weight that way there will be no reps past failure. I train alone lots and im not scared to go super heavy. why you holding back on yourself alexxx? dont you want to bodybuild? 1st set should be as hard as the last and if your doing reps past failure then it wasn't failure was it? so you need to go heavier. now go get a tissue, wipe your vagina and then go lift some real weights if you can.

That makes absolutely no sense. Plus your chest is tiny so why would we listen to you even if you sounded like you knew what you were talking about?
-
his jw mission in china? doubt it those people are usually a lot more serious than alexxx. and about the spotter thing. Going to absolute failure isn't necessary.

What I find funny is that fact that continues to post and hang around at a place where he is not wanted.
LOSER

Still mad that I am bigger, prettier and better in everything than you even though I don't juice?

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.

True that. Actually it's counter-productive to go to complete failure or beyond more than once every 3 or 4 workouts. Reason being it's too draining on the CNS which takes away from future workouts. That's something AAS doesn't improve.
-
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.
-
thanks for the reinforcement. i'll start to practice it now.

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

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.
