If you want to actually train your Chest as efficiently/effectively as possible instead of WASTING YOUR TIME…. 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 Additional notes: - 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 - I probably forgot something that I should’ve mentioned…if I think of it I’ll drop it in the post below
