just looking for any feed back :twisted:
 
this should probably get moved to exercise science...

do you do ALL of those exercises each workout?

.. i do 1 chest exercise for 3 sets...
 
You do not do 10 exercises on chest day, do you :wtf:

I guess if you're doing 1 set per exercise, that might work. Just pick one flat, one decline (or dips) and on incline. You can also add some isolation (cables/butterflies). Mix it up every workout with one exercise for each of these types of stimulus and you'll be good.
 
i usually do dumbells 4 sure then choose 1 of the remaining 2 exercises for each angle. equals 18 sets on chest. i try to keep my muscles guessing...thanks 4 the feedback
 
unless you're doing one set per exercise, undoubtabley you're over doing it. Ill back your chest routine off to a few compound exericse followed by some isometric exercises. Take my chest workout today for example ;)
*warmup*
3 working sets flat dumb. press
3 sets incline barbell press
3 sets weighted dips
2 sets low incline dumb. flys
2 sets low cable cross over

Even this for some, is a lot. I like volume but you still should keep the work sets down around a dozen

i cut that ten down to 6 2nite and felt a much better pump and focus. thanks for the info.

whats the proper # of sets one should do

flat dumbell
flat bench

incl. dumbell
incl. bench

dec. dumbell
dumbell fly
 
I usually do around 6 sets for chest, my current chest routine looks like this: Flat bb: 3 sets
Incline DB: 2 sets
Weighted dips: 1 set
 
just a question why do you do db bench first?
i always feel i get a better pump from the heavier weight i can fet from bb bench. and finish up with some sort of db press or incline press or flys. I normally do 5 sets of 5 or 4 sets 8 to 12. it might be pshycological but i dont know.
 
I do a four-day split
Shoulders
Chest
Triceps

Biceps
Lats
Legs

You need to warm up those shoulders before you do chest .
I find for me (especially on the juice) that if I do 4X6 real heavy I put on more muscle than if I did 3X8.
That my story and I’m sticking to it!

I'd say cut that in half. Do one compound move for flat/decline, one for inclind, and a fly move. 3 sets each for a total of 9/week.

I do the same 4 day split but:
Chest
shoulder
tri

like it better personally because i seem to get the best gains.
 
I do 9 sets twice per week for chest. I'd say it depends how your body responds to volume, and adjust it to the ammount of volume your body handles best.
