Chest Workout #2
This workout is a little more advanced than our first chest workout. For one, we'll use an advanced or intensity enhancing technique on cable crossovers of drop sets. That's where you complete a full set, quickly rack the weight, decrease the weight by about 30% and then begin another set. This is done twice in this workout.
Also, we have dips in this workout, which require good strength. If you gym has an assisted dip machine, this should then be a non-issue. If not, your partner can assist you in spotting your on your feet when your legs are bent until you're strong enough to complete dips on your own.
Like any workout, before you get to lifting, be sure to do a proper warm up. It's a good idea to start with some light lifts before you start lifting with heavier weights.
Be sure to do some light exercises that will warm up your rotator cuffs and other joints.
NOTE: When you see the number of reps decrease for an exercise, unless noted that it's a drop set, it doesn't mean take it easy. It means increase your weight so that you struggle to complete that last rep.
