What puts more mass on the chest...?

It is sort of like a shock to the system, when you do different routines, such as incline, flat bench, etc... If you stick with the same routine over and over again your muscles get sort of used to it and will not respond. Try and break it it up. Not just routine, but weights as well, try lighter weights one week, and heaver the next. -------------- I dont know where I am going, but I cant wait to there!

Arnold was juicing...just remember that. He is in another dimension. lol Got to hit the chest from different angles...inclin, flat, decline. Gotta go heavy for a couple of sets for each with reps between 6-8 for the heavy sets...this is basic but a good starting point. -------------- May the lift be with you.

It's good to warm up (and end chest workout) with these using light to moderate weights, but every once in a while, going heavy is beneficial. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

pimple Posts: 490 Joined: 2003/07/08	2004/01/27, 09:10 PM well, if you go heavy and can do more than 6-8, then i'd say you go heavier and aim for those 6-8...
