Those pull overs at the end are the key to the widths that stretch after the pump is insane!!

[@tonychristensen6714]

Hey dude how many reps and sets of them ?? It didnt say in the video

[@lartimus3080]

@@tonychristensen6714 if you have never done them I’d start with light weight and shoot for -4 sets at least 15-20 reps get a feel for the motion. A lot of the time people got shoulder tweaks and that’s okay just go super light weight 15-30 lbs and let it stretch eventually you will get better ROM and find the angle that best allows you to contract your chest and stretch it

[@ez-g3090]

Use a total gym for pull overs or cables if you can.

When you're doing chest exercises, always make sure that specific muscle gets the most activation. Your shoulders and triceps shouldn't be involved much. This is especially true when you're doing dips.

Dips 3sets of 12, 3 sets of 10, 3 sets of 8 6. Dumbbell Pullovers (not sure if the set/rep range but you can figure it out)

[@joaquimboadasalonso7155]

Thank you bro

[@tonynorris1506]

Many don't realize, you don't purposely stop 2 reps lower, when you bench properly (shoulder blades pulled back with proper muscle contraction on the chest, don't go too fast, and do NOT let the bar touch your chest.... to avoid losing tension if it touches) Do this with 1.5-2 mins MAX rest between sets and you'll lose 2 reps with every set! My chest workouts when I was a trainer went this exact way. Id start at 12, then it would naturally go to 10, 8, 6, and sometimes I'd do a 5th one and pushing out 4 would be grueling (5 if I had a spotter) If you rest more than 1.5-2 mins, it won't work the same way and even though you'll recoup more strength, your muscles will also be more recouperated and you want to break down the fibers. Basically, great blueprint, just do the exercises in different ways every few weeks (barbell vs dumbbells, Cables vs dumbbells, ect ect) and once a month reverse the order to where you do your compound (heavy) lift at the very end.... Do that for ALL muscle groups atleast once per month and the power lift will annihilate the already fatigued muscles. it's called a "Pre-Fatigue" workout when you do it in reverse.

Monday is chest day... it’s because everybody in teen years starts with the bench press, it’s the most comfortable(mentally) for everyone who is starting out, people usually start training at beginning of the week so thus every trains chest because they began with chest for confidence, hence Monday chestday for the majority
