    Chest Shock

    In my new bulking routine I have included kind of my own little chest workout that made me really sore after the first time I tried it, what do you guys thinks about it...

    With this you have to go heavy and intense on the free weight moves for it to be effective...

    1. Pressing Movement(alternates each week between Incline d-bell, barbell, Flat D-bell, and flat bench) 5 sets, going real heavy, sets of 8,6,4,6,4

    2.Fly Movement (opposite of Pressing movement that day, if incline press then flat fly, and vice-versa) 5 sets, heavy here as well, sets of 8,6,4,6,4

    3. Cable Cross (same angle as Pressing movement that day) good squeezes and real good form, 4 sets, 6-10 reps....

    Let me know what you guys think...

    I personally like the idea of the "pausing" technique when trying to build mass on a bulk. Slow negatives followed by a 2-3 second hold/pause, then finishing by exploding up. Not locking the elbows between reps as well.

    id agree with all of that except for the exploding up part,can be dangerous unless your not shifting much weight.

    Use the phrase "exploding up" loosely. After a long pause with excessive weight, it won't be too much of an "explosion" mainly due to exhaustion.

    think this could be really beneficial, I mean it incorporates a rotation of movements to shock the chest, heavy sets, and Fly moves to stimulate growth, this is coupled with 3500 cals a day, that could be sweet...I was thinkin about doing tri's here too, problem is its gonna end up being a really short day, or a really long day....I mean its only 3 exercises, but 14 sets nonetheless...

    Yeah man, its definately a different approach to hittin ur chest, and I think it could really shock it, instead of the standard, two pressing movements and a fly move...
