16 but i was doing the same before being on juice...I'm just pressing a bit more
When I was on I did about 12-14 sets but off I do about 9-10.

it matter on the person and how much juice you take...most people have to be on a lot of juice to do 20sets or more..

There are just too many variables.
I work with natural clients and the variance in recovery ability is huge from one person to the next. I may have one person only hit 3 sets a week for chest, while another might hit 12-16sets per workout for chest. Goal differences is only part of the deal. FOCUS, TEMPO, INTENSITY, REST, SPLIT, REP RANGE, TIME UNDER TENSION, and on and on and on and on and GENES!
Personally I hit 12-15sets when one and about 8-9sets when off.

This is too personal...
For instance, if you´re a HIT or Heavy Duty follower (anyone here ?) you´d probably reduce rest days due to the increase of your recovery capability while on AS but keep the 1 or 2 set, 15 or so reps for each bodypart workouts...
I´ve been trying to find a general law but I guess there´s no such thing...
Peace,

I'm not the most proportunately developed individual. Some things like shoulders, chest and back blow up real quick, while everything else lags. Juice just makes this discrepancy worse. This cycle I'm gonna focus most of my time on the bodyparts that don't grow so fast (arms, forearms, calves and hamstrings) and hardly train what is already big. If your chest is truly under-developed compared to other body-parts, then by all means focus on it more while on cycle. I doubt this is the case though...when I look around the gym most guys are already training chest too much anyway (and neglecting stuff like legs and back).

I would do about 16 sets, keeping it farely low on reps for the first few excercises and then schockin the shit out of them on the last 4 sets going really light.

It takes me a long time to warm up my chest, and I have had prior shoulder problems, so I probably do a good 8 sets just to warm up.
Once warmed up I do:
5-7 sets flat bench -I usually do 4 sets up, hit my hardest weight twice for 6-8 reps, and then do 1-2 sets down.
5 sets decline -4 sets up, 2 at my hardest for 6-8 reps.
5 sets incline -4 sets up, 2 at my hardest for 6-8 reps.
4 sets pullovers -I use moderately light to heavy weight, from a really good stretch to actually having to exert myself.
4 sets on butterfly machine
finish off with push-ups.
So not including warm up sets, I would be in the 23-25 range.

My routine from yesterday
warm up; 15 mins (70lb 1 x 10, 135lb 1x 10,225lb 1x3,315 1x1,405lb 1x1) Working set : decline (495 1x6, 505 1x6) incline (420 1x6,430 1x6) flat(395 1x6,405 1x6) and for a finisher I use flat db flies (105's 1x10) just 7 working sets

It doesn't matter whether you're on or not IMO, I still do about 10 sets max and at the end of those 10 sets...my chest already feels like the morning after. Lift intense and heavy no matter whether on or off is my way to go. When you're on...you'll be able to go HEAVIER, so jack up the #'s and still do the same # of reps and sets. The heavier weight is what gives your muscles the stimulus to grow and being on juice and diet etc. helps too
DIVISION said:4 sets of incline DB presses.
The staples for chest are incline DB presses, they give the best development.
DIV
To you maybe. Not for everyone. I hate DB presses, they overwork my arms and underwork my chest. Maybe it's because i'm 6'2. But then again chest is one of my easiest body part to develop.
Hey i noticed a lot of peeps doing a huge ammount of sets for their chests here and in the gym. On chest day everyone is a scientist, but there are very few what i would call even decent chests, be it size, cuts you name it all are very average and hardly stand out in clothes. Maybe i'm spoiled by mine
and having grown up looking at Arnolds.

That's how I feel about my cock!
You all brag but mine is BIGGER!
Im with you on this one... 4 sets bench press or dumbell press, 4 sets incline dumbell press (barbell hurts shoulder), 4 sets decline bench=12 sets pressing.iron_sun_god said:
then, 3 sets machine flyes & 3 sets cable crossovers=6 sets stretching. For a total of 18 sets. This split is the same on cycle and off cycle, but on cycle the weight/reps goes up, up, and away.....

I think it all depends on the intensity level...if your pushin yourself to the max...you could get away with doing 6 sets....yes only 6 sets for chest...believe me it works.
I pump my chest up so hard i cant even do shit after 6 -9 sets...thats the way you should do it...it might be good 2 switch it up bro.
So half the time im on juice or not i only do 2 -3 excercises per bodypart...sometimes more and let me tell you it works good IF U KEEP THE INTENSITY HIGH.

I do about 12 sets including warm ups depending on how i feel. i just add in super sets, tri or giant sets when on gear, mabey train the same as if i was on no gear but just try to lift heavier! just go by how i feel all the time. I train like yates, only 1 heavy working set per exercise. always incline 1st as riped left pec doing flat barbell press, the funny thing was it was only my last warm up set of 140k lol not even a heavy set.

I have tried Arnold's 10 sets of 10 of bench (of flat bench dumbell press) and love it for putting mass on while cycling.. Just remember to get a good "squeeze" each rep..
Then I do some flys or pec deck for 2-3 sets.. then clable flys for a set or two and move on to triceps.

Is the question in reference to only 1 exercise?
I do about 10-12 sets for chest on the bench alone, but do other exercise afterwards.

flat press 4
incline 4
decline 4
dumbell flys 4
close grip 3
pec deck 3
total 22
same on or off cycle
does anyone think this is too much to be doing off cycle?

i might try that when i come off, iv'e been told that when off cycle i should limit my weight training to 45 minutes.
also during pct i should (as you were saying) drop my reps down to 6 per set (heavy as fuck, ideally failing out on the last reps) and only do 3 working sets per excercise. warming up still doesnt count as usual.

Get up to repping 315 or more for 1 clean set of 8 or more reps and anything else in addition is just gravy imo.
By that I mean who cares about X amount of chest sets or exercises done if your basic benching strength isn't already up to a certain standard. If your current rep weight is 225 for sets of 5 and you want a bigger chest then you're better off focusing on building that to 315 for reps than worrying about how many sets and reps you are doing.
I'm sure plenty will disagree, but that's how I feel about the subject.

i dont really go by sets, so much as duration and how i feel lately.
if i am going for higher reps and shorter rests, i will get more sets in, but if im going for higher weight, reps will be less, and rests will be longer.
regardless of my goal for the workout, i try and end it by an hour (no longer than an hour and a half).
anywhere from 12, to 30!
