    High incline - standand incline, flat, flys, dips. Thats all you need.

    Dont use the barbell anymore. After this make sure to give your chest at least 5 days off.
    austinite...so, would the two warm up sets be with a weight I can lift 10-12 reps? I really need to change my standard 3X10/12. Thanks.

    I lift 8. My heavy rep fails at 4 or 5 typically. Hell sometimes 3.
