What's Your Chest Workout?

Last time was incline dbs rest paused followed by 10*10 on dips

I fully agree with you man! Regarding what exercises give the most isolated stimulation to the pectorals!

What I don't agree with is the ideology that the exercise that most isolates a muscle will do it the most benefit from a hypertrophy point of view.
Sure you could do those strict cable crosses and perhaps work up to 20-30kg per side OR you could work up to strictly pressing the 70kg dumb bells.
Which will cause more pectoral growth (even if using a slight incline or even a flat angle for presses) IMO always the presses.

Totally agree as from my understanding it's more about maximal force generated under tension that causes hypertrophy. Never going to happen with cross overs.

Decline is v Gd however I believe anecdotally it seems to cause the most tears as I can vouch for [emoji17]

I think this sums up what I've always thought... even if I struggle to explain lol.

For eg..

Cross overs may hit the chest with 90% focus on the pec and 10% on other muscles, so using 20kg it's 18kg hitting the chest.

Bench for instance may only focus 50% on specs and 50% on other muscles, meaning a 100kg bench would put 50kg on the chest.

I'd rather have 50% of £1000, than 90% £100

And done standing up and pushing out horizontally it's not a pec exercise at all but becomes a front delt exercise.

Hmmm when I do them my chest burns like he'll and I feel it like no other exercise. Crazy pump also?
It's no mass builder but hits a area no other chest exercise dose for me. So gonna have to disagree. Have you tried it?
All chest exercises include front delts to some degree.
 
Ok, tried the plate press again today after chest work out.
Couldn't get on with trying it stood but laid down.
Ok, no one's disputing it's not gonner be a real builder I dont think but as a bit of fluff, fun, 'finisher' yeah I enjoyed it.
I'd done all what I consider building movements and this just pumped chest and that's kinda satisfyingly :-)
Certainly won't regard it as anything more than a bit of fun at the end of a session but I don't think it's been suggested as anything more.
I enjoyed the 'feels' I'll chuck it in now and again for dat der pump...

And yet pat has never managed to produce a picture of him looking like he trains anything other than back stroke yet..... Yet everyone else is wrong and he's always right. He claims he's a scientist but never supplies evidence. That's not science.... That's LIEnce.


He's like the guy in the pub who used to be massive and used to bench 250kg but can't now as he has a rotator cuff injury that he got when he tripped On some stairs leading the snakes out of Ireland with St Patrick

That's right and furthermore I wouldn't listen to someone who does brojobs.
