Good Chest Workout...

[chazk]

It's interesting to me that so many people are recommending inclines for chest development. I'm not huge in the chest department (as you can see from my avatar) but I tend to be shoulder dominant on the flat bench. Going to an incline only makes this worse.

It isn't until I get a good arch in my back on the flat bench or bench on a 20 degree decline that I feel a pump in my pecs.

your rasing the bench to high for inclines you need to go right in the middle between falt and high inclines
play around with your bench untill you find the right height to high and I;m using shoulder also .. I go two click above flat and it works great ...not as high as most guys but really hits the upper chest fibers

my chest gets a better pump and I tend to get a little more sore when doing flyes first.

Agreed. I prefer chains or bands, too.

Seriously, though, I tend to think that a lot of people focus on smaller exercises or isolation movements when they haven't sufficiently trained their primary lifts. DB flys are great for guys that already have heaps of muscle and a low enough BF to worry about bringing out some striations or tie-ins... but for normal people with BF>6%, you're just playing with the dumbells, not pumping fucking iron. Flys, inclines, dips, cable xovers... c'mon, you pansies! These are all excuses to avoid doing the hardest and heaviest chest exercises. Focus on variations of the bench that enable you to lift more than normal flat benching, not less.

I don't know how the hell anyone can put on mass doing flys and cable xovers. Base your chest day off of 25-30 sets of heavy presses (with a barbell... dumbells only serve to mount the bands used to make heavy exercises even heavier). Do your isolation crap after that. A good workout should take a couple hours depending on time between sets.

If you want a chest, you need to push your pecs as far as humanly possible. Isolation movements don't do this.

I agree that most incline benches are inclined to high to really be good for a chest workout.

i LOVE READING ABOUT THE HARDGAINERS CHEST WORKOUTS..

IT MAKES ME LAUGH..

How about trying something as simple as a few sets of Heavy Incline presses. Barbell, dumbbell, Hammer strength. Whatever is best. Keep the weight moving up throughout the sets.

Finish it off with some weighted dips.. Go real low and get a god stretch...


I believe that the best exercises for chest developement are Incline, Dips and some flys. This way you hit a compound movement, a stretch movement and an isolation movement all in the same workout.

I think for most people chest takes quite a long time to develop. Usually longer than the rest of the body. You really need to hit it hard, try diferent routines and find the best for you since everyone is different. I agree with most of the brothers here; in my case, after years of trial and error, I discovered that old skewl movements are the best for me. Heavy flyes at the beginning, flat bench press, dips. Then you have incline presses, cables, declined presses and flyes
