How's my chest routine?

**Romeoguy62** · 09-26-2005, 07:01 AM

Hey guys, doing chest today, how's my routine look:

Bench 3x8
Incline 3x8
Decline 3x8
Cable Crossovers 3x8
Butterfly 3x10

All are done till failure. I have a question though, is decline really that necessary? I never see ANYONE on this site talk about it. If not, I may cut it out completely and go to 5 sets on everything. Let me know what ya think.

drop it, and re evaluate your sets... you dont need 5

Any of various insects of the order Lepidoptera, characteristically having slender bodies, knobbed antennae, and four broad, usually colorful wings.

I guess you might know them as DB flies. Any other input on my choices of exercises/sets?

I generally will either do 4 sets of 3 or 3 sets of 4..whatever I feel like. Maybe throw in some caterpillars

I'd drop declines personally. But it's up to you.

It's the exercise that has 2 handles stretched out very wide and you bring them together in front of your body. Basically, a dumbell fly only on a upright seated machine

Exactly =)

Thanks, I had never heard of that before.

Why would declines not be a benefitial chest exercise?
BTW Swolecat, I used a few of your tips today and I must say going down 3 seconds and up 2 killed my chest on 4 exercises more than my last workout with 8!
