Chest Day Question?
I was reading an article in Flex with two pros going over their chest routine. They did between 12-15 sets for chest. Out of those sets they did between 9-12 pressing sets. They said when trying to put mass and fullness onto their chest they did the majority of chest work with presses. And then when they were cutting up they did more iso movements.
Anyone have any feelings on this?
-
I personally probably wouldn't change my routine or exercises between cutting and bulking. I dont think iso movements bring out any more definition than compounds so i dont think there is a point.
From what i hear, articles in Flex are mostly ghost written. So i wouldn't put too much faith in any of those articles.

If chest is the only thing your working that day, I think 12-15 set is aright, but I wouldnt do that many on a split day. Personally, I agree with the pressing more over the isolation movements when your trying to mass out. The basics is what works for me.

My feeling is that Flex is a horrible resource for traning information.
Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei

Exactly- compare any article "written" by Ronnie for Flex with anything you've seen in his videos- they aren't the same at all.

Not to mention, how much total weightlifting BS myths can be attributed to Arnold? Originally Posted by Paul Stagg

I mean really, how much could anyone trust Flex when they act as though none of the pros are juicing, but then they try to sell you a new supplement every month, claiming that all the pros are raving about it.
