Now I would be happy to keep what I have now. Honestly I am more concerned with size/hypertrophy than I am with strength. I will admit though when I am eating a lot and putting on size adding strength is pretty fun. Just out of curiosity what does a chest workout look for you? normal workout is:: flat bench 135x25-1 set 225x15-1 set 315x8-3sets 275x12-3 sets 225x15-3 sets 135x25-3 sets this eems like a lot, but the 1st 2 are a warm-up. after this i will only do 1 exercise for upper, and lower chest, either incline flyes, db presses, and the same for lower chest. but i rotate the ,ain workout everyweek, as in next week i will do all those sets on incline, then the week after on decline, so i am getting that workout on all areas of my chest… training for a bench meet is::: 135x25 225x6 315x2-4 405x2 put on bench shirt… 475x2 550x2 and i go up from there… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/finally-benched-700lbs/203241)._
