4 sets of inclined bench press

4 sets of decline bench press

4 sets on the pec deck or Flys (dumbells on a flat bench)

Finally I like to finish of with 4 sets of cross overs on the cable if your gym has them, usually find that by this time my chest is really feeling it so don't manage to do a lot of weight on the cable machine.

Hope this helps. I will try and add some more later as and when I get time. Cheers

Thats way too many sets for chest, do 9 sets maximum(excluding warmup).

Id do:

DB bench 2 warmup sets) then 3 hard sets of 6-9
BB incline press 3 sets of 6-9
Chest dips 3 sets of 6-9

Meathead do you not do any flies or cables on chest day?

I agree with Meathead, you only need to do 9 sets on your chest or back, lift heavy, rest body part exercised for 36-48 hrs and you will grow.

I was exactly the same as you Roberts, till I met a ex pro body builder at my gym who advised me on how to train properly and eat properly.

You need to advise us on your diet so we can see if you are going wrong there at all.
