My question is should I be doing iso tri exercises on chest day?? After I pound out my chest workout(bench/incline/incline dumbell press/flat dumbell flys/flat bench close dumbell press for inside pecs with db's together/cable pulleys/pec dec) my tri's are fried as well as my chest. Seems as if my tri's got a damn fine workout in an overall sense, and the iso exercises may seem to suffer with nothing left in my tri's. So I do iso tri's on a leg day when I can really hit them and concentrate on the form, and movement to maximize them. Any thoughts??

tris and chest for me. also your pec is one muscle i would back down a little on how many exercises you are doing for your chest in one session. by one muscle i mean you dont have inner, outer, upper, lower, middle. focus on developing with good exercises.

i bet in the world you live in every one is a pony, eats rainbows, and craps butterflys.

Hey man, thanks. I was thinking that, knowing pecs are one muscle but I get so damn frustrated at times cause my pecs seem to develop well at the top, but seems to always appear to need the lower and inside portion worked hard. I totally agree with the overkill on chest excercises, and believe me I feel it when I am done. I just get so heel bent on a completely, proportioned, perfect pec that I just keep on pushingand working diffrent movements and angles. I really want the lower portion of my pecs to round out and grow more mass...any thoughts. Thanks bro...I bench with great form and heavy weights (doing 5x5 at 325 after warm ups) and such, I have a big chest to start with so maybe I am too picky??

Thanks again for the reply in case I forgot to say it at first...help is always appreciated. No matter how long or much I have lifted since highschool and college days(now 35 yrs old) of football, I am always looking for new info and tips, never thinking I know it all or enough. I am a sponge for info, which is funny cuz people at my gym ask me for tips and advice, and i think to myself," I don't know jack but alot of other dudes do!!" guess that is what makes people get better and push themselves though right?? Appreciate it.

try this routine it helped alot for my development. i did two chest days a week day one:incline or decline, flat then incline or decline. do wich ever one you didnt do first. 3 sets per exercise 6-8 good reps. day two machines, and frees. i like cable cross over, db decline, flat db press. some times i switch it up and do pec flys as opposed to db press. another that worked for me was just doing the three bench exercises twice a week that blasted some new growth for me. then after a while it quit working so i switched it up to the one i just listed.

no problem and by no means do i know all or alot. all my methods are from trial and error. that routine has worked great for me and i switch it up as i need to. check out some of the stickies, and other posts about chest. there is alot of great ideas on this site for chest.

try this mate find a chest press machine in the gym hammer strength if they have one and do 3 warm up sets 20,14,10 then us a slight incline bench and perform 5 sets of db flys starting with a weight that you can do 8 and then heavier but 8 again because the first was a test bearing in mind that you probably used this exercise as an isolation movement at the end of your workout before and then do 3 more sets with as much weight as pos but keep it safe if its your first time using flys this way.workout over tomorrow feel it

KungFu
