Alright,
So I have seen a lot of post about the best chest exercise and back exercise. This is a thread for those of us that are exceptionally tall... you short people have it WAY easier when it comes to mass movements for the chest and back.
At 6'6" I can bench 260 flat barbell, and do a couple of sets of 6-10 with the 100 lbs DB.
I can outlift a lot of the freshman football players, but their chest and back developement is a lot better than mine... A) gentically they have shorter frames, and B)Thats all they work...
Now, back to the thread... What movements and combination of workouts do you think work best for taller people. Does hitting back and chest twice a week sound like over training?
Does the use of DB of BB press make a large difference?
Currently, I am trying an experiment. I am hitting back and chest in a twice a week schedule. Putting four days between each work out. At one work out I am using more volume for back and heavier and lower reps for chest, then on the opposite day I am doing the complete opposite.
I switch up different exercises and attempt to shock my system. I just wanted to see if anyone thought this was strategic overtraining, or if it sounds like a good idea, and to see if anyone else had any ideas for training the lanky fellows! Thanks guys!
