How many sets for chest

[TheBandit]

right now I'm with 12 sets total for chest, is this enough to stimulate growth??

more sets is nothing unless you have intensity. I do 8 sets and my chest is always fried. I do not count warmups.

3 sets flat bench, 3 sets incline, 2 sets weighted dips.

I do 6 currently, but in about 6-7 weeks i'm dropping to 5.

12 IMO is too much.

I do 6.
but if you train chest I time per week, make 12 it's not a problem.

i dont so certain sets anymore,i go until my chest is pumped which is usually
3 sets incline db,3 sets flat db,3 sets db flys,2 sets cable crossovers

12 can be a problem.

Do you use steroids?

12, fuck! i do 6, 7 at the most. I think 12 is overtraining myself.

No steroids.

12 isn't too much if you only train chest once a week but you may want to change the routine.

Instead of 3 of everything do 3 each of the mass builders then go to 2 each of the assistance exercises for a total of 6 assistance sets.

Ex. 3 bench press, 3 incline press, 2 dips, 2 db flyes, 2 cable flyes

If that's not enough then you're doing something wrong.
