    Post Spliting the Routine

    I know it will be better to change the training routine once in a while so your body won't feel 'bored' over it. So this is what I thought off, for my Chest workout, and how will I change them every week.

    Week 1- Flat Bench Press, Incline Dumbbell Press, Alternate choice of either Crossovers or Pec Decks

    Week 2- Cable Crossovers, Pec Decks, Machine Chest Press

    Week 3- Giant sets of regular, decline, and close grip pushups, followed by flat dumbbell press.

    Repeat from week 1

    Does that look OK?

    Personally, I'd lose the machine bench press. Free weights will give you a much better workout. How about trying incline barbell presses instead? Just my opinion.

    I like the idea of switching exercises frequently for a little variety.One thing you might want to try, is to keep one exercise constant in every workout.For example, do barbell benches first in every workout, followed by two other exercises that you can alternate every workout.The one constant exercise can act as a gauge of whether you are progressing or not.I use the same core exercises most of the time, and if my poundages or reps stagnate at a certain point, I know it is time for a change.

    I like to incorporate the use of machines for variety, not every work-out, but now and then.
