There is a chest mass gain program here, look under exercise programs, you should be able to select free weights only versions of the routines. Otherwise, try doing chest first workout of the week, first thing, 4-6 sets of 2-3 exercises. So, incline presses, flat presses and flyes or push-ups. Then add chest in on another workout later in the week, do a little less weight, more reps. That may be enough to spur growth. Your abs need resistance work as well, if you want thgem to be bigger and more visible - alternate the pilates and no-resistance ab exercises with weighted exercises.(every other workout)(and let them rest a day inbetween) -------------- Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.

I do two warm up sets at 135 then I go up to 185-195 and try to knock out 5 sets of 5 reps. I may up it to 7 reps, but my chest hasn't been this sore in a while so I know it's working well.
