chest

[jasontheplayer]

lately i've been having trouble getting my chest up to par. as of now my routine is this
monday: chest
tuesday: back
wednesday: shoulders, traps
thursday: legs
friday: arms
saturday: abs

on monday i do:

flat bench 3 x (pyramid up - add 5 pounds every week)
incline bench 3 x (pyramid up - add 5 pounds every week)
decline bench 3 x (pyramid up - add 5 pounds every week)
flys 3 x 6-8, last set drop sets until complete failure

i'd like to know if i should hit my chest more than once a week or any tips to break my bench past 200

you ever tried dumbell press?

it's helped me a couple of times to break plateaus

Add another chest day. When doing push-ups, spead you arms as far as possible a keep your head up.

Are those the only exercises you do on a Monday? If so, add in some different ones. Consistant use of the same exercise limits muscle growth in the long run. As stated in a previous post, toss in some dumbbell presses and maybe even some dips whereby you lean forward, targeting your chest more.

On your tricep day, Do heavy set of close grip presses. And if you want to get that bench up, always make it your first exercice in a workout. Chest one time a week is really enough. You need rest to develop strenght and mass.
