FULL WORKOUT BELOW!! ⬇️
This chesticles session is proudly brought to you by my ti***es..
As always! You want to ensure that you have a nice blood flow throughout your upper back to guarantee stability before getting into your pressing movements.
TODAYS WARMUP!
1) Dead hangs - As you’re hanging take deep breaths (inhale and exhale) for a deeper stretch throughout your lats and chest. 1x30-45 secs
2A) Shoulder external rotation 3x15
2B) Lat pulldown 3x12-15
WORKOUT
1) Flat bench press - always start with heavy presses first to set the tone for the rest of your workout.
4x2,2,6,6
2) Incline DB press - 4x4,4,8,8
3) Flat machine press - for this exercise the focus is on contraction. Keeping a slow negative (at least 2-3 seconds) then exploding on the press and pausing at the top just before you lock out the elbows to keep constant tension. 3x8-12
4A) Incline Db hex press - this exercise requires the same approach to the flat machine press: controlled negative, explode, hold and squeeze before locking out. 3x12-15
4B) High to low cable flys - again same ques as exercise 3 and 4A. As you start to fatigue follow through with some half reps to just completely rip the chest off the bone to cap off your session.
Keeping intensity throughout each exercise is key so try to keep track of your rest times!
For any exercise where your rep range is from 2-6, rest anywhere between 2-3 minutes.
When your reps range from 8-12, rest anywhere from 60-90 seconds.
Anything that is 12 reps or more, rest at least 45-60 seconds maximum.
Longer rest time is key to ensure you have enough energy before each heavy press. When your reps are higher you want to make sure your rest time is lower so you can have more time under tension.
