How many sets do you do on chest workouts?

[Glootz]

Flat Bench Press 4 sets
Incline Bench 3 sets
Decline Bench 3 sets
Cable Flyes 3 sets
Pec Dec 3 sets or to failure

 

[Maximum Intensity]

I stay between a range of 6 and 12 sets once a week. My workouts vary from week to week and I tend to train on a more instinctive level. Therefore, I have not set regime, but I do monitor the number of sets I do in order to restrict becoming overzealous on a particular bodypart.

When in HARD training, three BFT drop sets. When down cycling about 3 sets to failure.

yeah B.F.T. fucking yeah!!

ok anyway, I do about 10-12 sets and 4 sets if I'm doing a BFT workout (which by my word is the best way to gain mass ever)

i do chest 2 times a week, about 12 sets per training session

 

[Belial]

4 x flat bench
3 x incline
3 x crossovers
2 x weighted dips

I work chest 3 times a week at around 10 sets of 10 reps targetting different parts (upper, lower, etc...)

chest is biggest part of my body, but i hardly work it out..genetics i guess..yet i work out my arms like crazy and they have the hardest time growing. I do flat bench 5 sets, then incline 3 sets, then buttefly 3 sets.

 

[gorth97]

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.

That's pretty crazy yo.. I think you could be overtraining if you are doing super intense sets to failure. (Which you should be doing).

I usually do 8-10 chest sets (not including warmups) of super intesity. I feel that is more then enough for growth and strength.

When I read about someone doing 25-30 sets of anything per training session with good results over more than a few weeks, I always wonder if he's wearing a T-shirt with "Thank God for Chemistry" printed on it. If not, he should.

Nobody can do that many sets and gain from it without using some kind of drugs.

Personally, I don't care what people eat. If some people choose to fill their venes with fat, reduce their testicles to shrunken raisins and grow breast size D so be it. But I do believe that you should be open about it and not give anyone the illusion, that the way you are training is something anybody can do.

There's a way to train with drugs and there's a way to train without drugs. Don't get those two mixed up.
