Building Chest Mass, HOW??

[Kurtz2]

calm down bro, no one is getting hostile. im just saying people dont know about long term effects...and im not sure how medical books and studies print myths.

 

[Kurtz2]

cont.

i can see 2g/bodyweight...but i just dont know about that being the minimum. i guess if youre advanced enough, and you create the demand, it could be sufficient.

 

[Jman88]

Concentrate on calories and compound movements, high intensity-low reps.

I do
Flat Bench
135 x 12
185 x 8
205 x 6
215 x 4
Then biceps.
Then back to chest for DB Incline Press
50 x 10
55 x 10
60 x 8
Then Bi's again
Then Chest for Hammer Press, sometimes incline, sometimes straight. I do 3 sets of these, first two 10 times, last one 7 times or failure, whatever comes first.

So hows that?

IMHO, I think BB bench will build more overall mass, but DB's will help build a "prettier" chest. Depends on your goals.....

I`ve never seen/considered a workout like that with non antagonizing muscle groups. Is that beneficial? I can think of a few pro`s and con`s already.

 

[luto199]

well by saying you have never seen anything like that, i assume you mean i may need to change it up?

heavy incline dumbells, and weighted dips.

Reverse the order... Dips are king for building chest mass if they are done in proper form.

Lean forward and tuck your legs forward under you and you will hit your chest great.

My current routine for chest is:

Dips w weight 5 X 5
Low incline (not to high) dumbell press 2 X 6-8
Incline cable flies 2 x 10-15
