only exercises i do for chest are dumbbell squeeze presses and low incline neutral grip dumbbell presses.
sometimes i do push-ups with a weighted vest and use hex dumbbells as push-up handles for the third exercise.
if i had a gym membership ( i train in my basement gym ) i would add parallel bar dips and long handle pec-deck to the list.
i dont even know why i opened this post. just wanted to share

check out the full ROM and Partials they are doing with pushup handles(@1:30). If you hate doing chest youâll hate them. Banana hammock optional.

Crazypants.
Lower body is pretty awesome. You always feel like you worked pretty damn hard after.
Not as awesome as back, though.
But abs⊠I wonât even go there.

oh yeah. great minds think a like.
leg and back day are my favorites.
the quad pump after very high rep squats, the back pump after corner t-bar row drop-sets⊠i loooove them.
another thing i like is dropping sweat on the treadmill like bombs from the sky when doing HIIT.
I like hamstring day a lot. Quad day is painful.
Ass day is just girly and boring.
BUT CHEST DAY OMG do NOT even get me started!!
You should do this cable cross over pyramid thing I do.
Start with the pins at the bottom, then work up with each set AND THEN back allllll the way down again.
(HIGH REP)
Also plate squeeze super setted with any DB chest thing is awesome.
Wheee I can actually give advice about something cause chest is one of my better body parts. * I want to clearly state not BOOBS though, my boobs are lame* HAHH

Try âsuper-settingâ D.Bell fly with D.Bell press or push ups. 12-15 reps for the flysâŠpresses to failure (use a weight that you get at least eight with)

Work some CGBP and some chins in and youâll never have to do another dip or curlâŠ
Chins blow my arms up way more than curls ever did. But I could never give up dips.
Are you focusing on contracting your pecs during the exercise? For years I pressed with my front delts and had shitty bench numbers until I really focused on using pecs and tris for the press.

If you can get optimal biceps development from just chins (and variations), youâre a lucky man.
Youâre also in the minority.
Most people, eventually, will need to incorporate some form of curls into their routine for best results.
Iâve performed pretty much every variation on the pull ups and chin ups imaginable. In the Your âBig 3â thread in this subforum, I even mentioned a movement that most would findâŠunique (although the principle behind it is nothing new). But my biceps really didnât start to attain that âwowâ factor until I began to intelligently incorporate some curling. And this is true with a great majority of folks I work with.
And before anyone gives that tired cliche of gymnasts they see on tvâŠwell, if theyâre good enough be on a televised event, theyâre also national level or world class; so itâs not a stretch to say theyâve been dealt a pretty decent genetic hand which would respond to just pull ups and chin ups.

yes i do them from time to time.
regular flys on a bench give my shoulders discomfort.
what do you think about flys on floor? is it worth doing?
tonight i will train chest.
i saw toney freeman doing alternating chest presses in a training video.
he keeps one arm extended while doing reps with the other arm. he says this increases time under tension a lot. i will try it tonight.

Yea, I kind of agree with you. Davyboy said he hated hated training arms, and I was just suggesting a less isolating movement that has worked well for me. I probably shouldnât have said âneverâ though. I canât really do curls anymore. They cause too much pain after a while on inside of my elbow.
And since I started doing chin variations, my arms have never looked fuller, even more so than when I was knocking out tons of curls. Maybe not âoptimalâ development as you put it, but thatâs not really what iâm going for. I find that as I strengthen the whole body through the main lifts, and chins, rows, dips, my arms naturally follow.
