How does my bench routine look?

[monkeyjuice]

I aim for strenght & mass, so i like to do heavy sets of low reps.

My chest routine looks like this:

Flat Bench: 8-6-5-5
Incline Bench: 8-6-5-5
Weighted Dips: 10-8-8-6 (45lb Weight)
Cable Crosses Down: 12-10-10-8 (Give a nice stretch)
Calbe Crosses Up: 12-10-10-8


I switch it up all the time.

Sometimes i start off with Incline and go heavy! Then i go to flat bench and go light! Then i follow the rest of my chest routine.

Sometimes i use all dumbells, for everything. Gives nice control and stretch, really concentrate of muscle and Form!

Sometime i throw Decline in there & Fly's. Both incline & flat bench Fly's.


I hit chest every 5 days.

What you think?

That's a lot of volume bro. But the necessary variety is there. If you switch it up, and don't feel like you're overtraining, then it looks good.

[DBarcelo]

that would be a bit too much for me. But if it works for you and you're getting results, then go for it.

[ChiTownTommy]

yea, thats good, that what i used too do, but i have switched my routine latly

[DARKSEID]

as the others said, see how it feels. I personally do less than half of that when training for mass and strength.

best way to go for my opinion, one set to complete failure

Why are you doing cable crossovers? Are you getting ready for a show?

[monkeyjuice]

No, i like to mix the powerlifting/mass bulking training with a little bodybuilding training. The cable crosses give me a nice stretch after doing bench/incline/dips.

Awesome!
