Hey Scott!

[HoldDaMayo]

I've seen your pics and seen you posting here and first of all, you obviously know what you're doing... I am pretty new to working out, almost a year now... and I've been making good gains all around... except for my chest...

I was just wondering what kind of routine you do for chest and how many days between workouts...

Thanks!

I know I'm not Scott, but I thought I might throw in my 2 cents anyway. My chest is definitely one of my better developed muscles. A lot of people have complimented me on my chest if they catch me in my workout attire (Either shirtless or in a wife beater). I just started a new routine yesterday, and it felt really good:

3 x Flat dumbell benchpress
3 x Incline barbell benchpress (Approximately 15 degrees)
2 x Decline flys (Approximately 15 degrees)

I have seen you post around these forums, and you seems pretty knowledgeable, so I am going to assume you know what rep ranges work best for you.

Thanks Hold I've been doing this for 17 years so I should hope I kinda know what I'm doin by now (but always learning).

As for chest... with all muscle groups you need to try diff styles. Do one routine for a few weeks then change if you don't notice any improvment. But no routine will work forever so there is no perfect routine. Your body is always adapting.

I personaly never do the same workout twice, but it will go somthing like this....

Flat or Inc dumbell press 1x10 1x8 1x6-8
Inc or Flat Hammer Strength press 2x10-8
Inc Fly 2x10 ( I need to bring up my upper chest)
Crossover 1x12(usually do a drop set here)

All movements are to failure and some are also with forced reps from my partner.

Well there you go. That's what I do but experiment with diff things and see what works best for you. Most important thing is to train hard and smart!!

I'm not even sure who Scott is, but I think if you've been lifting hard and sticking with the basics as we all know them (dumbell/barbell press, dumbell/barbell incline and decline presses) and also incooperating other movements (flys, pec deck etc. etc.) AND have been eating like a madman (which I believe you have) and still aren't seeing much progress in chest, I don't think you can do a whole lot more besides just keep lifting hard.

I'm assuming since it is a lagging part you've tried a lot of different things (different reps, light or heavier weight etc.) to try to improve it.

But hey, I???m newer to this than you (going about 10 months) so maybe I???m wrong and a magic routine will help pack on the chest mass. I personally think it's a genetic thing though and you just don't have a good chest, like I have crappy arms. I would just keep trying to add as much mass all around as you can, maybe prioritize the chest a bit, and that's all you can do.

[HoldDaMayo]

thanks for the info Scott... I also mix up my routine... but I have made some gains since i incorporated dips into my routine, really focusing on squeezing the chest during the movement... but I'm always looking for different perspectives on which exercises an individual likes to use for chest...

I'll just keep working hard... that's a given...

 

[HoldDaMayo]

[Willdebeast]

damn scott you r ripped man. are those before and after pics for real or what?

 

[camarosuper6]

I like his first set.

1 x 10
1 x 8
1 x 6 - 8

Strength and mass. Thats similar to what I prescribe for people I help train, and do myself I am a firm believer in putting mass and strength in the same program (instead of doing 2-8 weeks of each and then switching). It has worked wonders for me and the people I train.
