Let's say I'm on a split program where once a week, I focus on only the pecs and or/triceps. My main goal is to gain size.
The only equipment I have available is a flat bench (unadjustuble), olympic barbell and plates.
So, if I were to only do the Bench Press, how many sets/reps of this exercise should I do?
Today, I managed to superset 6 sets of bench press with chin-ups, but felt I could lift a few more sets of bench press, but was afraid of overtraining.
I know variety is important for progression, but I'm hoping that changing the rep range every month would handle it.
I've been increasing the weight by 5lbs every workout, but I don't know if I should be doing more pec exercises or not... you know, to exercise different parts of the pecs.
Is 6 sets of 6-8 reps enough? Again, I train the chest only once a week.
Whats your advice?
Thanks
