How many sets do you do on chest workouts?

How many sets of exercises do you do on your chest days????????

This calls for another poll

From the poll results we can clearly see that it is mostly : HIGH volume or LOW volume sets, very few people do medium amount of sets,

Now it would be interesting to ask the voters if they consider themselves to have a really good hard big chest.

This way we can shed some light whether a high or low volume seems favourable for the average joe (i am not talking about freaks like Bertil Fox that did 30-35 sets and got good results from that)

Ofcoarse some of the Menzer HIT Jedi's and ARNOLD high volume junkies will step into the arena and claim they got best results from their aproach, but I think we can see a definate pattern as we get enough voters...

Now if I only knew how to make a vote message

 

[OKIE]

I do chest once a week.

5 sets of bench
4 sets incline
3 sets of decline
4 sets of flyes
3 sets of overhead rows(?)
3 sets of upper cable crosses
3 sets o lower cable crosses

I usually do medium to heavy weight and occasionally throw in a light set for burn outs.

Damn OKIE, 25 sets for chest?! That's rediculous. No offense, but your workout looks like it could use some improvements.

 

[natasan]

I just do chest once a week (every 5 - 7 days)

3 x 8 flat
3 x 8 incline
3 x 8 decline

3 x 12 cable crossover
3 x 12 cable raises

I should do more with dumbbells, but I've stuck with the bar - going heavy right away.

[blood_drinker]

i do pretty much the same that okie does.
I have grown like a madman, on a cutting diet !

wtf?

It's a mad good workout, I love it. Look forward to chest EVERY week. I love working it.
It's the SHIT

 

[OKIE]

I know it is a lot. My list includes my warmups as well, so my actual sets are probably about 5 sets less. My strength has gone up considerably and I'm on a cutting cycle as well.

 

[power-builder]

18-20 sets twice a week.
