Cheers for advice Gazz, you always explain fully, but not quite sure what you mean by take tricpes out of the equation, do you mean stop doing them on chest day or, or do you mean stop all together?

Would This Be Better on Chest day, and not work triceps that day do them on shoulder day?

5x5 Bench
3x8 Incline Dumbbell Press
5x5 Dumbbell Flys

No you ding bat,i was refering to tri's becoming worn out and your pecs not getting a full workout,so adding,or even switching completey to flys and overheads during those times.Continue to train chest and tri's as normal just don't get stuck in a rut with just one exersise for chest i.e. presses of all types!

Yeah, i'm progresing well on everything part from chest exercises, that why i asked if should be doing differnet amount of reps.

drop back with the weight and cycle the poundage back up.
small weights like tall suggests are a really good idea.
wouldnt worry too much as youre not really built for bench.(typically good benchers tend to be quite squat and thickset)

Ok thanks mate, that what i was thinking of doing, but keep with the 5x5?

***TheCrazyCal*** · 16-07-2008, 02:34 PM

yeah sure.
youre much less likely to fail by using small weights remember cos youre body will adapt to the smaller increase for far longer
