Body Builder Apollo
All chest workouts are finished with cable crossovers of 3 - 4 sets of 12 - 20 reps and my chest looks like its going to explode…the pump I have at this time is amazing - it feels like 2 pillows are resting on my chest….it is a feeling I cherish and truly enjoy. For example, one week I will do flat dumbbell press followed by incline bar presses - the next week I will do incline dumbell presses followed by flat bench bar press.
For chest I always do at least one flat and one incline press movement with free weights. I alternate between dumbbells and barbells for each angle. I always start with a dumbell movement. I like to lift very heavy as I feel this works for me, but form is NEVER COMPROMISED. My rep range on chest is usually 8.6,4 and then either 2 or 10 -12 depending on how I feel that particular day - 4 sets incline 4 sets flat with free weights is followed by either weighted dips or a smith machine incline press. On dips I prefer 10 - 20 rep sets. Smith machine incline press is also a favorite….I feel like you can never get enough incline in especially for taller bodybuilders as the upper chest is very difficult to build for most people. On this movement I will go for 10 10 8 as far as my rep scheme. Dips are fabulous for chest but you must remember to go deep and angle yourself towards the dipping bars.
