warren_1987 · 05-08-2008, 06:21 PM

incline bench bb - 4x8
decline bench bb - 4x8
incline db flys - 4x8
dips - 4x8
rope pull downs - 4x8

i do my chest and tris together or will be this week, but after reading a few posts i thought i get a few opinions on it as my chest seems to be lagging. i have started training with crok so how is this chest wo

Incline bb
Flat db
Dips
Close grip bench or skull crushers

Preference really

All proven mass builders that hit the chest slightly differently while minimising the risk of injury (if good form applied)

I like to perform a DB and BB movement for variation.

I don't like decline press,not as effective as flat and incline imo.

Flyes are useful but,given the other moves,can be overkill in a workout

I agree with Para, although there is nothing wrong with what you had planned.

Inggasson · 06-08-2008, 12:06 PM

As above. Maybe switch decline for flat, but all looking OK, man.

Swiss Ball Cable Flyes for real target isolation.

Also Decline Bench Press is a proper shoulder wrecker IMO avoid.

An old bodybuilders excercise I know, but how about heavy single dumbell pullovers lying ACROSS the bench. This pulls on the bone structure and the ribs whilst stretching the pecs and the lats. Done correctly it can give a big increase your chest measurement. Works for me!

Muss, Caught you skiving again !!!! hee hee

irwit · 06-08-2008, 12:52 PM

Im guessing you have a seperate shoulder day ? personally i do a push day; bench ( barbells as no one to help get dumbells in place!) dips and military. Thats every 90degres of your push movement. You seem to be hitting every 45 degrees of the push movement but i bet its less than this as your decline isnt realisticly going to be 45 degrees is it. Personally I wouldnt have the energy to go really heavy with an incline bench then a decline bench. its basically 60 reps as apose to 30. Id much prefer 30 really heavy ones. But in reality its all personal preference. If you can go all out with highest weight possible for incline then again for decline go for it!

warren_1987 · 06-08-2008, 03:54 PM

cheers lads well, it was chest and tri day today and im poooped. i went for

incline bb press
flat db
dips
rope pull downs ( close grip bench and skull crushers hurt my elbow joint)

it was a good workout, my chest is killing me now, so are my triceps. te big bench lifts really exhausted my triceps so the rope pull downs really finised the tris well. at the moment im taken the next 2-3 weeks to drop any excess fat and then i am wanting to bulk and stay lean, get some size on me lol. hope i can pull my chest up to par, im not sure if its my cest or just the fact i have'nt much muscle mass all over, i weigh 160lbs at 5'10, and there is some pic of me on gallery undey ''importance of diet'', although i look slightly leaner now . what do you guys think cheers w

Glad it went well,you can't go wrong with the basics

As for your future bulking plan,Irwit's suggestion of switching to a PPL routine would also be my choice.

A heavy 3 day routine is plenty when natural

warren_1987 · 06-08-2008, 05:33 PM

cheers para, reps for the routine, it has me sore lol. i will ave a read about the site into some ppl routines, im sure there are stink loads on here lol

would really like to get some mass on over the next 6 months but want to stay relativly lean 12-13%bf max.

Pull Day (Back and Bis)

Deadlifts
Chins
Rows

Legs

Squats
SLDL
Calf Raises

Push Day (Chest,Tris and Shoulders)

Bench (Flat or Incline)
Overhead Press
Dips
Lat Raises

That routine,along with a good diet and cardio,will put you on the right path
