pecs

[blacksax1]

i am of average build and my pecs have started coming out big style. all i want to know is whats the quickest was to build them up even more?:y:

[Ruddy]

For size mate, heavy weights low reps.

Try lifting your max weight on your last set mate for as many reps as you can do.

Then at the end of your workout 3 sets of press-ups TILL FAILLLLL!!!!!!!!!! lol

Ruddy :y:

[vtrchris64]

Use mainly frees weights, Bench press, bumbells etc heavy weights. You'll soon have breasts to be proud of:P

[kcsaxo]

heavy weights and low reps

compound exercises:
with the bar or dumbbells
bench
incline bench
decline bench

[Leo]

if they are coming along big style, keep doing what you are doing?




:panic:

[bear_westy]

steroids!!!

[Apz1]

I do:

Incline Bench 3x8
Weighted dips, 3x8
Flat Bench DBs 3x8

[Ste]

I do

5 Sets @ 60%, 70%, 80% 90% 100% intensity on the bench

Incline press 3 sets of 80% 90% 100% intensity and then a final set seeing what the heaviest i can do is.

Decline Bench 5 sets @ 60%, 70%, 80% 90% 100% intensity

Decline & Incline barbel things, 3 sets 10 reps, then 8 then 6.


Also change your grip on the bench bar from normal to as wide as you can go every couple of weeks.... will provide extra growth. Make sure you rest and stretch sufficiently aswell or you'll put yourself out for a long time.

do press up's improve your chest?

[saxo_loz]

ye like they guy said m8 lift heavy weights...use only free weights cos machines restrict movement and hardly work ure muscles...im pretty muscly :D
13 and a half stone and im only 14
i weigh this much cos im second row forward in rugby so i need to be strong :D
TOP TIP: work out then drink a PROTEIN DRINK---try PRO MASS best one around m8...it will get u massive and strong :D

yes lots, press ups are the key to a good chest in my opinion. good press up session after a chest workouts the best and also a good challenge

Been doin em like you said mate, did em monday 50 of the fookers after a session instead of dips. Moved them to the beginning of the workout.

[blacksax1]

nice one lads gonna try out some of what you mentioned. bought some dumbells yesterday so going for it big style today.

50 in 1 set?

[Ruddy]

Yeah, two sets total, do it until fail mate which is about 50 each time +/-5 my mate just times me, then i time him.

You fancy coming along like? lol

[Clone]

Havn't done press-ups in a while. My job is scaffolding been doing it a couple of months but not much of a noticable difference i'm still skinny, but i can lift more than i could (Scaffolding gear ) than when i started... I could push 40 perhaps not sure about 50 will have to try some time but i doubt it :) The last time i tryed i got 35 and stoped.

[Ruddy]

Just do your normal chest workout then finish off on dips or push-ups clone. I could do fook all at xmas, but now ive built myself up to be the Rudmachine! lol. You'll be suprised at how rapid you progress!

[Leo]

50 in one round is impressive mate, think the most i got to when doing them for a bit was 30 ish. always good to do them slow and controlled tho

[Clone]

lol same mate! About a month before i started i couldn't do 5! Even though i'm think it was pathetic! My dad said he could do 30 or whatever and i couldn't do more than 5-8 lol! As leo said 50 is very impressive.

[Ruddy]

Cheers guys, dont get me wrong i absolutly batter them out at first then kinda get a grip and think who am i kidding lol, then carry on at a normal pace.

Been thinkin tho, what about holding the 'up' and 'down' position for a few seconds each? Gonna try that baddass mo fo next time methinks.

[bullit]

try when your up tense your chest, same as doing bicep curls when at top tense your biceps like as to show off, is a proper killer

i think id manage about 10 pressups if that now :P was the master of the widegrip pull up though

Absolutley rubbish at them mate. Cannot do 3 good sets of them for shit! Im trying to incorporate them more and more into my workouts now though. And build myself up like i have done with the dips and push-ups.

[bullit]

i used to do 3 x 6,8 but with a dumbell or plate between legs. also hung weight on the dips aswell
