Chest/tri routine critique

[Lee]

Just need some feedback.

Currently I do (in this order):
Incline DB Press
Incline DB Flyes
Close Grip Bench
Flat DB Flyes
Hammer Strength Dip Machine (only cuz Im too heavy at the moment to do real dips)


Anything I should add/remove? Total revamp perhaps? Thanks, K for helping.

How many sets? Reps? Are you adding weight or reps each workout? Exercises look fine. Why 2 different fly exercises? I would add in some skul crushers or close-grip pushdowns for triceps.

honestly i haven't seen any changes in my pecs from doing flyes, so i'd just throw that out the window. other than that, as al said, you need to add weight to the bar each week if possible. that said, that seems to be alot of stuff in there - DB presses, BB presses of all manner and dips are always good for building size and strength but it wouldn't be the best idea to do all of them together and "try" to go heavy on all... if your doing a group of muscles once/week right now i'd probably do CGBP heavy and dips and incline DB press as assistance. if your working each muscle group 2x per week, then i'd rather do CGBP heavy and either dips or DB presses as assistance. by heavy i mean you choose a rep range to work on for a few weeks - maybe 3s, 5s or 8s depending on what you feel you need to do at the time. if it's 3s then you do 5s ramped and switch to heavy 3s attempting to lift more than the previous week. if it's 5s or 8s, then all your sets could be 5s or 8s ramped to your heaviest set (attempting a PR).

Too much chest all at once. Too many flies. Go heavy on the incline, forget the incline flies

I do 3 sets of 8. I'm also thinking of changing to a 5x5 program because I have had trouble increasing my incline DB press. Thanks for the responses guys.

Dumbbell presses on flat bench first then move to incline bench.Use a pec-deck for your fly movements one arm at a time for better concentration.Triceps look good but would add in cable press downs,overhead single dumbell extensions just to mix it up.Still stick to 3 exercises for each tricep workout.

gettnlarge, i wont use any machines if i can avoid it. thats why i use flyes instead of pec dec. and im not just saying this because im a bandwagon-machine hater. i have done both and just like the results and hte feel of free weights.

Some more background would help bro?

What are your goals? Size/strenght/both
What does the rest of you week look like?
How often do you change up exercises?

Shit like this will help for a better answer.

Cheers,
Scotsman
