Deep!

The deeper you go, the more it works the chest.

In part the lure of using dumbells is the freedom of movement. With db's you utilize third tier muscles ordinarilly not used with bb's. The only drawback with db's is the fact that going for very slow reps or negatives is tuff. Recently I revised my workout. In fact this past saturday I did chest.

6 sets incline db's w/ 100's starting with 12 reps going to 6 on last set.


6 sets of flyes starting with a 45 degree incline and moving the incline down 1 notch every set until bench was flat. Started with the 80's and went down to the 45's 8-10 reps each time.
THATS IT!!!!!
After I do tris and start with close grip presses which end up polishing of my chest.

Today I'm sitting in my office with very sore and very large pecs.

Go deep when you can. If your shoulders limit or hurt you, then go a little shallower.
