The ULTIMATE Chest Growth Guide (If this doesn’t help you build your Chest…NOTHING WILL) If bringing up my Chest was my TOP priority, I’d recommend doing something like this each week: Upper A • Incline (Clavicular Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets • Pec Fly Machine x 2-3 Sets Upper B (Performed 3-4 days after Upper A) • Flat/Seated (Sternal Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets • Seated Low to High Cable Flys x 2-3 Sets This will result in you doing somewhere between 8-12 sets of direct Chest work per week Low likelihood you need any more volume than that to improve your Chest mightily if following the notes below: 1) The ideal rep range to be using when performing the exercises mentioned is the 5ish to 10ish rep range — Choose a weight you can do for 5, 6, 7 reps @ 0-2 RIR…once you can do that weight for 8, 9, 10ish reps, increase the load by 5ish pounds 2) You should perform all reps of all the listed exercises with a controlled (but not overly slow) eccentric and an explosive (but still controlled) concentric 3) You should perform these exercises very early in your workout to ensure they are as efficient/effective as possible — If you perform them later on, you will not get as robust a growth stimulus from the sets because of the outstanding fatigue that will be present from the earlier sets/exercises in your workout One Additional Note: You may sub any of these exercises for comparable exercises due to preferences and/or equipment availability — Ex: Flat/Seated Machine Press subbed for Flat Smith Machine Bench Press or Flat Barbell Bench Press

Example of a true working set... You’re probably doing way more sets than you need Trust me ⁠ Back in high school and college, I would lift 7 days a week, doing anywhere from 30 to 50 sets per day I used to think those 30-50 sets were the key to growth, but over time, I realized that most of those weren’t true working sets ⁠ Here’s the thing... If you can do 4 sets of 8 reps with the same weight each set, you’re probably not pushing yourself hard enough A true working set should leave you near failure within the target rep range ⁠ For example, let’s say your plan calls for 2 sets of 6-8 reps After a few warm up sets, you try 135 lbs and hit 8 reps, but you know you could have done 6 more That’s still a warm up set since you’re not reaching failure in the 6-8 rep range You’d then go up to 145 lbs and aim to fail around 6-8 reps If 145 still feels too light, that’s another warm up set You keep going up in weight until you find the load that challenges you to fail within that 6-8 range If you don’t have a spotter, leaving one or two reps in the tank is okay ⁠ This is where true muscle growth happens, by pushing close to your limit Sleep and diet is actually where muscle growth occurs but you never push yourself hard enough in the gym and give your body a reason to grow, hypertrophy will never happen The gym is just the stimulus to give the muscle a reason to grow We then get bigger through sleep and diet ⁠ Back to the working sets... For example, in the video, I hit 540 lbs for 8 reps on this hack squat Looking back, I feel I had one or two reps left, but it’s a solid starting point and it was a new PR for me at the time The next week, I would aim for 540 for 9-10 reps or bump up the weight to 545-550 and try to hit 8 reps aka progressive overload ⁠ I typically keep my quad and hamstring workouts separate and do only about 4-7 sets per muscle group, but each set is intense, and I’m struggling by the last few reps on each set ⁠ Give this approach a shot, and I promise you won’t need nearly as many sets as you think

You can trick your body to lift more than you normally can Because of this, I do it every session on my personal training, which I’ve shared through my Super Set program. It’s called Post Action Potentiation (PAP) and it’s a temporary state where your muscles and nervous system are activated and operated in a heightened state It’s all about ramping up to reach this state and I use 3 steps to get there. Stage 1: bodybuilding exercises, low effort and longer durations. Think bicep curls, reverse flys sets of 12-20. Perfect for the first exercise/set scheme of the day. But it’s not enough to get to that true state of potentiation. We need more. Stage 2: You’ve got some blood flowing, you’re warm up and starting your primary exercise of the day like bench press. Your warm up sets are ramping up with low to moderate weight paired with high effort. This starts really recruiting those bigger stronger type II motor units. Remember you don’t need the reps near failure to recruit type II motor units, you just need effort. Stage 2 is great but we can go even deeper Stage 3: These are the working sets. You are pairing heavier weight with high effort. The magic is doing it without taking on fatigue. My programming and coaching notes guide you. Each set sets you up for the next, allowing you to end on a max set of some kind. Then every exercise and set after that you’re able to lift more than normal. You’ve reached this state of potentiation and you ride the wave down Super Sets uses 2 more secondary strength exercises followed by single joint bodybuilding exercises. We squeeze the juice completely The training split for Super Sets is one muscle group per day, you can run it 4-7 times per week.

Here’s EVERYTHING you need to know about warm up sets: Most people are doing warm up sets ALL wrong and they’re costing themselves from an efficiency/effectiveness standpoint as a result Warm ups are designed to A) guard against injury B) prepare you for your working sets Warm up sets should NEVER be taken in close proximity to failure…most should see you leaving 6, 7, 8+ reps in reserve (the lone exception to this = sets performed for 1-2 reps @ ~90+ of your intended working weight) This is in STARK CONTRAST to working sets which should all end around 0-2 RIR You probably need about ~2 warm up sets before your first exercise or two depending on the specifics of your programming Here is an example of a typical warm up protocol: - a 5-10 minute brisk walk on the treadmill (optional) - 50% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~12 reps (mandatory) - 75% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~6 reps (mandatory) - 90% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~2 reps (optional) After you complete the working sets for your first exercise, you may want to repeat the last 3 steps prior to performing your next exercise IF it is an antagonist exercise (Ex: Lat Pull-Down after Sternal Pecs Machine Press OR Seated Leg Curls after Hack Squats) After that, you probably don’t need any additional warm up sets unless you are just using them as “primers” (sets to make sure your movement pattern / the machine settings / etc. are on point) - If doing a PUSH workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing a PULL workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing an UPPER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing an LOWER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing a FULL BODY workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise, 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise, and may even 1-2 warm up sets before my third and fourth exercises as well (assuming they’re all multi joint movements — antagonist push/pull movements for both upper & lower) (As you can see, the major downside of FULL BODY workouts is often the excess warm up time needed — this is why they work best for beginners much of the time) General rule of thumb: If your first set of an exercise is NOT your best set of that exercise in terms of performance (assuming we equate RIR), you are NOT warming up properly You should see a fall off in performance as sets transpire on a given exercise…this is a feature, not a bug of productive/effective resistance exercise WHEN WARMED UP PROPERLY
