    DB Decline press.... .......2 working sets to failure and beyond
    DB Incline Press............ 2 working sets to failure and beyond
    Flat Bench (DB ir BB).... 1 working set to failure and beyond
    Crossovers................. 3 working sets to failure, 1 of which past failure

    Make the sets count.... got to complete failure in the concentric and then get a spotter help for a few tough forced reps... then a few negatives... then maybe a drop or a rest pause....

    Just kill the sets but dont do too many
    Thanks! But like I said previously this is how I used to train and it got me nowhere fast. Even less so than how developed my pump gets no my chest days now. For me heavy weight and chest is a no brainer for not doing it.

    But also like I said previously maybe I can alternate between the two. Since I was getting nowhere and switched i developed a bit more.. Maybe I'll switch back. I'll follow this routine you posted and see where it takes me! Thanks

    There is a big difference between traing heavy and training HIT

    HIT not HIIT...

    HIT - High intensity training..... Referring to the style that you train with weights

    It's not really HIT.. It's training with perfect fluent movements not forced by the weight. Like, Kai Greene. And it has worked wonders for me lol
