what you think about this chestb workout ray ray?

[housepicks]

I got a lot of endurance with arms...chest not so much..never have.

Even back in the day I never got any stronger doing reps of The 10's.

Had to go 4-6 to get stronger.

So last few chest workouts go like this.

Dumbells

55 for 10-12 warm-up.

80 for 5...2 sets.

65 many as I can do...somewhere between 7-10
And then drop set to 45 as soon as I put down the 65.

3-4 sets.

I wanna do some heavy ton get stronger...then high rep to get tone.

Once I get to doing 7 reps on the 80's I am gonna move to 85's for hopefully 4-5.

You think that's a good way to accomplish both my goals?

I need to get stronger...I dont like when guys 50 lbs lighter then me are using heavier weight then my fat ass.

if you dont have a partner to work out with, sure... but you need a spot to help you do forced reps where you are weakest, imo... but its really different for everyone... loading the bar up after a few sets and doing 1-2 rep max is working for my strength... drop sets i use about every 3rd workout or once every 2.5-3weeks...

if its db's, hit the 50s/55s for your warm up and try the normal pyramiding method... 55s(10-12) -70/75s(6-8) -90s (or whatever you can do 2-3times) ... drop sets to failure i like to keep to 1 or 2 exercises and every 3rd/4th workout per chest workouts and usually the last exercise of the day... reason being is you burn your triceps out so bad doing drops and wont get the full effect of the next chest exercise

keep changing up/adding exercises always helps too

Some help on forced dB reps would be nice but I always hated the hassle of trying to coordinate workout times with a partner...and I wouldn't ask anyone because I hate everyone in there.

I think I am actually on the reverse p yrimad system because I tire quickly. I'm gonna look up if that's good or not.

This just seems better for me. I'm always worried about my shoulders. Getting the heavy weight out of the way first when my joints are not strained yet feels safer.

Be careful with dumbbells and too much weight. Tearing your pecs is very painful.

Well I guess a tear couldn happen to anybody...but I wouldn't pick up a dB I didnt think I could get 5 times. That's also I'm saying the reverse pyrimadbfeels safer to me...less weight when you are tired.

bench/incline bench on the smith machine is an option too... smoother motions for the shoulders and as long as you can get your last rep off your chest, a spot isnt necessary since you can bail out and rack it if you can get the full motion in

If I get into the gym early on the weekend smith machine is the first thing I head took.
