    How does my bench routine look?

    I aim for strenght & mass, so i like to do heavy sets of low reps.

    My chest routine looks like this:

    Flat Bench: 8-6-5-5
    Incline Bench: 8-6-5-5
    Weighted Dips: 10-8-8-6 (45lb Weight)
    Cable Crosses Down: 12-10-10-8 (Give a nice stretch)
    Calbe Crosses Up: 12-10-10-8


    I switch it up all the time.

    Sometimes i start off with Incline and go heavy! Then i go to flat bench and go light! Then i follow the rest of my chest routine.

    Sometimes i use all dumbells, for everything. Gives nice control and stretch, really concentrate of muscle and Form!

    Sometime i throw Decline in there & Fly's. Both incline & flat bench Fly's.


    I hit chest every 5 days.

    What you think?

    That's a lot of volume bro. But the necessary variety is there. If you switch it up, and don't feel like you're overtraining, then it looks good.

    that would be a bit too much for me. But if it works for you and you're getting results, then go for it.

    as the others said, see how it feels. I personally do less than half of that when training for mass and strength.

    Why are you doing cable crossovers? Are you getting ready for a show?

    No, i like to mix the powerlifting/mass bulking training with a little bodybuilding training. The cable crosses give me a nice stretch after doing bench/incline/dips.
