I want to get rid of some of the sag on my chest and have been told to do quite heavy reps of incline press to improve any one got any advice on this cheers

If you want to tighten it all up its best not to go too heavy and maybe increase the reps a little because small reps with heavy weight will build strength and size. For good tone i would sujest more reps and medium weight and most importantly good form on the exercise. Some fatloss regime would be good to loose excess off the body.

What does your chest day look like?

I would not do close grip on chest day thats really a tricep workout. Sustitute them for dumbell flyes and maybe chuck in a pec deck once in a while.

cheers for the advice mate,with the flyes i am 6ft 4 is it better to keep my arms with a small bend in them or bend them a little more and let my elbows drop lower down????

Let your arms bend naturally but make sure you get a good full stretch then a nice lift to a 1 sec squeeze at the top.

DB Flyes ROCK!!!

I read somewhere that to keep tension in the chest area you should only go parralell to the chest and not any lower - any thoughts on this?

Cheers,
