Just read a thread

Just read a thread started about switching from BB flat bench to DB flat bench.......but my main concern was, this guy had like 5-6 different exercises for his chest...Incline DB, Incline Flyes, Flat DB, French Press, Dips and I think one other. Most of them were 3 sets at 6 to 10 reps....But I think this is overkill for the chest. Right now I do 3 exercises, Flat DB Press, Incline DB Press, and Cable Flyes.....3 to 4 sets, pyramiding up to heavy weight to where I can only do 4 reps on the last set. Does anyone think this is severe under training? Or am I ok with this routine? I don't want to undertrain but I of course don't want to risk injury from overtraining.......Any replies would help, thanks bros!

9-12 working sets high intensity is plenty for chest. your fine and not undertraining.

It is all about what works for you and your body. What might be too much for me might be perfect for you. I did chest and bi's today and this was my chest workout.

incline bb press- 4x6-8
decline bb press- 3x6-8
flat db press- 3x8
HS wide chest- 3x8

My shoulder felt good so I added the wide chest, otherwise I would have been finished after the first three.

exactly. everybodys diferent. some people respond better to high volume/moderate intensity and some people respond better to low volume/high intensity or vise versa. you have to keep switching it up to see whats best for you. try a plan out for 4-6 weeks and if you notice results than that is the way for you.

Cool, thanks for the replies guys, I'll try switching it up to see what different results I get .
