For Chest Development and Mass (please dont move this)

[WannaBPowerful]

I was told to do 6-8 reps for maximal muscle growth and size. Is there enough time under tension (TUT) for it to be effective though?

When goin as heavy as 6-8 reps what should the volume be like for chest?

 

[Dr.M]

If you want TUT then slow the reps appropriately. I also used to start out with inclines first, that lags on many people.

Slow negatives and 1 second or so positive is about what I prefer.

Is 2 second negatives, barely touchin the chest and using no momentum what so ever, and 1 second positives enough TUT to be effective for muscle mass growth?

What kind of volume would you recommend? 10-12 sets all compound? ex. incline, flat, decline.

Forgot one thing.

All compound movements arent enough to really tax the chest and get it to grow is it? Maybe throw in a set or two of pec deck fly's to pre-exhause or a set or two of cable fly's at the end. Maybe both?

This sux. Whenever i go to do a fly movement (especially to pre-exhause) i seem to tire my front delts more than my chest NO MATTER WHAT FORM I USE. I could use perfect for, shoulders back, etc... and i feel it more in my shoulders with any fly or cable movements. Please help
