Hello,

Currently doing the following chest workout:

Flat bench - barbell
Incline - dumbells
Dips
Flat fly's - dumbells
Downward cable crossovers

Is there any improvements or additions that could be made ? Any help much apprecited. Thanks.

Well can you tell us how many sets reps e.t.c you do for each exercise? We can go from there.

[philips08]

Yeah sure. I use this for each exercise:
1st set - good weight - 10 reps
2nd set - same weight - 10 reps
3rd set -increased weight - 8 reps

[gringo220]

I only do 1 warmup set per workout. All the rest I go right into hat weight I want to use. After the first set everything has pretty much been used. 3 sets per exercise is fine, you could do 4 if you want but 3 is fine.

[MiniArnold]

Looks good bro. I just changed mine up for the better. I normally hit 12 reps on my flys but thats just me. Keep at it.

[sshorty]

I usally do alot more weight with less reps
8 then 6 then 4 increasing weight by quite a bit every time and this is the best way to increase strengh followed by muscle.

[philips08]

Thanks for the input guys !

ya dude all looks good, are you have trouble making gains with it or you just checkin see if it is a good routine?

[philips08]

Just checking to see if its enough to do really. Makings good progress so far just trying to focus on getting the whole shape now. Find it hard to get the centre mostly, suppose jus gotta keep workin on the form for fly's ?

Yeah hammer them out mate.

Are you trying to build it or are you cutting when building mass try to stay away from any flying or crossover movement

[F-111]

heavy presses will build an overall chest mate, trying too hard with isolations like flyes will probably result in an injury or stagnation. Try using the db's more than the bb if u feel u need to focus on feeling the chest, they will allow u to control the movement a little more.

[mostmuscular84]

Very agreeable man presses and dips are the most important building mass in the chest.

looks good to me, pretty similar to mine at moment

[usmcgym4807]

looks like a decent routine, personally i go with dumbells it hits the stabalizer muscles alot more i think

[crossfreakfit!]

ya man all looks good. and for the inner chest try doing sum cable flys on a flat bench.works very well for me

[Slicer]

sit on an incline bench in the middle of a cable fly machine.
get 2 of those leather straps which they use for leg exercises.
put 1 on every wrist and connect it to the cables of the fly machine.
then let your partner hand you 2 dumbbells to lift in each hand while you still have the straps on connected to the weights of the cable fly machine.

it's obviously more difficult to handle the heavier you go, but it works. so start from very light and continue desired weight.
