well lets hear it....
DB flyes...second incline db press
although you could deff. consider this gross overtraining I really love my own version of one of arnolds routines.
Flat Bench 4x8-12
*1x4-6/Rest Pause/Rest Pause
Incline DB 3x8-12
*1x4-6/RP/RP
Dips 3x10 (use body wt)
Incline DB Fly 3x8-12
^3rdxF/F/F
* this is one add. set done with a heavy wt. for 4-6 reps then you do two rest pause sets so there would be 5 total sets for the first and 4 total for the second exercise.
^ the third set is a double drop set.
NOTE: Please do not do this routine if you dont train legs. Legs come first, dont be a *****

heavy incline dumbell press
Im gonna try that one.MFT81....
heavy curve bar flat bench start 315 end with 405lb 4 sets of twelve to sixteen becaurefull with the shouldermy rear delt they gets tight for some reason when I do this then right into cable flies start at 70 end with 120 sets between 8 and 12. I never did the cable before and was never satified with the growth of my pects but over the last 2 months i got results finally now if the frickin calfs would come along id be most happy!
incline smith x3
flat db flyes (heavy as a mo fo) x3
weighted dips x3
db pullovers superset with crossovers or pec dec x2
I love me some heavy incline dumbell press, then I go do 3 sets of weighted dips
incline barbell press
4 sets
incline DB flys
3 sets
dips with bodyweight
3 sets try to get 12 on all sets, rough after the press and flys
Many diff ones..However my fav way to end a workout is to set a incline bench in between the cable cross do 3-4 drop sets of flys to failure then lower to flat and repeat...Gret way to blow right out and leave the gym feeling accomplished (and hopefully a little sore)
My favorite
Flat bench 3 sets of 8
Incline dumbell 3 sets of 8
Decline cable flies 3 sets of 10
Pull overs 3 sets of 12
Flat bench......4 x 8
Flat db press....4 x 8
Decline Bench...4 x 8
Incline Bench....4 x 8
Skulls...............4 x 8
Close grip PullDown..4 x 8
Works for me, most would say overtraining though.
I Love about any chest workout, and then burning my chest with cables to finish my workout.
I love chest, good times.
Incline barbell (12, 10, 8, 7, 4)
Flat Dumbell (10, 8, 7, 6)
Dumbell Flies, twisting in at the top. (15, 12, 10, 8)
Sometimes I'll throw in a 15 rep set on the end of the last exercise if I'm feeling it. Love this routine, put lots of mass and strength on me.
incline BB hits my chest probably harder than anything else.
db drop set by 10 starting at 130 to 60 3 sets
flat barbell 4 reps superset with flies for 10 3 sets
inlince dumbell of 4-10 reps with drop set 30 lbs 3 sets
pec dec super set with max pushups 3 sets

Always changing the routine seems to help me. Weight is all bout you and noone else. Shocking the mind to muscle connection is critical.
My typical chest routine is: Barbell incline- 275 8-10 times 3.
Barbell decline- 315 8-10 times 3
Flat bench dumbell flyes- 60 10-15 times 4
Dips- 90 added lbs 15-25 times as many as ican get. I won't stop til i can't go nomore. It's not just an attitude, it's a lifestyle.

Incline db press....Eeeohh! love that shit!

I started really focusing on my incline bench because my flat bench was strong but my incline always seemed to be lacking. After 6-8 weeks of blasting out incline bench at the start of my workout It is impressivley strong. Couldnt even tell you what i can max on bench but i can rep 315 incline which was a huge goal for me.
decline db flyes
I think I most enjoy just plain old flat barbell bench press.
db incline or flat
3 sets flat bench, reps 5, 6, 8
2 sets incline dumbell press, reps 5, 6
2 sets decline bench press, reps 6, 8
2 sets dumbell press, reps 6, 8, 8
1 set upright machine bench press, reps 10
10x10 incline dumbells
Jayus I must really over train my chest by the looks of compared to your routines lads lol.
Wow... whats with all the Declines... you know that Decline Bench is the last thing you should be doing for your chest right??? I guess people like it because you can do more weight as you are using your back and chest to lift the weight!!! hmm oh yeah and you don't go all the way down think about where your arms are at the bottom of your movement...
IDK maybe I'm being critical
My favorite chest workout would have to be:
Flat BB 5X5
Incline DB 2X8-10
* every third week I switch to Incline BB & Flat DB
Super Set:
Weighted Dips 2X8-10
&
Low-pulley Cross-overs 2X8-10
Incline Barbell 3 sets 2x6 1x4
pec dec 4 sets 10-8-6-6
Standing Inlcine Cable press (palms facing) 3x8
Decline Cable flies.
About to switch to Flat bench and incline db for the first two next week and try that out.
