Overkill for Chest mass?

[Carloscda]

This is a new routine I'm starting..

Flat bench BB 3X10
Incline DB 4X10
Incline flyes.... maybe 4X10
Peckdeck 4X10
Dips 3X10
Low to high cable cross overs 4X10

[BRC1989]

That looks like overkill, how many sets/reps you doing for each exercise?

[arctic_wave]

how many sets for each?

[Falcon01]

That would be way too much for me, depending on how hard you go on your sets, of course.

yea seems to be over doing it a little. I would stick to maybe 4 exercises and switch up the exercises each week to keep your chest guessing. also may want to switch up the rep range every once in a while.

Correct.

No one can define "over-doing" it, unless they can take over the other persons body and try it out for 3 months. The only rule you should be abiding to when trying new things is ensuring you have adequate recovery and eat enough fuel throughout the day to compensate for the longer duration. I know people who spend 2 hours on their chest, I know people who spend 30 minutes, all have great sized pecs. Some people benefit from high volume, some from low, some from high rep schemes, some from low, experiment and see what works.

Imo, yes... I just do inclined/flat db press and the cable fly work.

4 lifts, more than adaquet.

Something doesn't add up.

Anyways, what doesn't add up?

I'd ditch the pec deck and cable crossovers. Everything else looks great.

If so how would I get that upper mass?

Upper chest mass? If that's what your referring too then the Incline Presses and Incline Flys will fill them in just fine.

flat bench

flat bench

This is also the answer on how to get the middle mass, lower mass, side mass, and inner mass.

12 sets is pretty standard.......

Someone who didnt take my bait

[DJAuto]

Looks fine.

My chest routines are between 20-32 sets.

Dont under estimate the cable cross-overs, probally one of the best finishing chest exercise.

Assuming you have some experience (from your pic), I'd say go for it. You seem like you have a pretty heavy build. Most endo/mesos can handle and often thrive on high volume.

Yes, I've been lifting off & on but now taking it serious.
With all my workouts I'm Very Strick when it comes to form & speed.
I see alot of dudes trying to lift all this weight with crappy form!

Now I just have to burn the fat & get my upper chest built up a little more.

Dial in your cardio and diet, and for the upper chest I'm kind of in the same boat. One week I'll do 3 upper chest lifts, and one lower. The next week 2 flat bench lifts, 1 upper, and 1 lower to try to vary it up and really shock the upper part every other week. My separation is coming in nicely too!


edit- I shouldn't say every week, more like every 5 days or so

[Power_11]

12?

Whats wrong with 12? I do exactly 12 sets for chest (5 flat barbell press, 4 decline barbell press, 3 incline chest fly).

Every body part gets between 9 and 15 sets for me.

[determined]

I've been using higher volume for my chest workouts and have seen great results. I use the volume because I feel my tri's & shoulders get as much work as my chest, especially when doing dips and close-grip bench.

There is nothing wrong with 12 sets. The individual whom I quoted counted incorrectly: the OP's routine has 22 sets.

[Hortonized]

Personally, I would stick with heavy compound movements and lower reps
3 sets of 6-8
