is this a good chest workout?

**pauljenkins** · 08-21-2006, 12:58 PM

3x10 bench press
3x10 incline bench
3x10 decline bench
3x10 flys with cables
3x10 incline flys
3x10 dips

I would drop one of those. Maybe alternate decline bench and dips every week.

too much, it'd be overtraining for me

I would alternate the dips and decline, and the same with the two fly exercises, so you would be left with 4 exercises and up the sets to 4. Just my humble opinion.

Same here. I think a lot of people overtrain chest to be honest. Its really not a big muscle group. I do 3-4 exercises tops. I only throw a 4th one in for a few sets on cables or a machine if I feel I need it.

agree only four really heavy

**Undecided09** · 08-29-2006, 10:31 PM

3 heavy and a burn out of choice mine looks like this...
ALWAYS START WITH INCLINE by the way...

Incline Dumbbell Press/Bench, alternate each week
sets: 8,6,4,6,4-->Dropset 50% of 4 rep weight for 10-15 reps

Flat Bench/Dumbbell, alternate each week
Sets: 8,6,4,4

Dumbbell Fly of Choice (incline, Decline, Flat)
Sets: 10,8,6 or 8,6,6

Burnout of Choice, Cable Cross, Peck Dec...
3 Sets 12-15 reps....

Its been Good to me!! HIGH VOLUME training, the best way to lift, IMO...
