Hey, Just 2 quick questions: When doing a chest workout, I tend to do both the bench press and the flies, and sometimes I do different angles of bench press. If I do an angled bench press, either positive or negative incline - do I do my flies at the same angle? Or do I still do them flat? and... Do I want to do all 3 angles of Bench Press (and if yes to the above, flies as well) in one work out? (3 angles being negative incline, flat and positive incline) Help, as always, is appreciated! - Kuniku
I think Q2 was addressed in Westside Barbell's 'Bench Press Workout' video which I browsed through a couple of weeks ago. I wouldn't do all 3, nor would they. Bench plus Incline or Decline (or bands or chains or DBs or Dropsets) but not all of them. I thought Flies were bodybuilding?
so say week 1's chest workout do flat bench and positive bench, and week 2 do flat bench and negative bench and alternate like that? I just do flies because they're another chest exercise I know, and because they are supposed to make the chest look better *flexes* lol ps: not familiar with dropsets?
basically after the last workset, drop back to the last warmup set weight and push out some more reps, just the amount of rest to setup the new weight and go for it. i only do one set of 10. though in 531 there is the Big and Boring variation which is 5 sets of 10 after. i prefer to get some other pulling type exercises done http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_set http://scoobysworkshop.com/drop-sets/
