check out workout routine

Post by hockey101malkin »

i just started working out and plan for chest looks like this:

incline bench press: 105 lbs, 12 reps, 2 sets
flat bench press: 145 lbs, 12 reps, 2 sets
decline bench: 95 lbs, 12 reps, 2 sets
dumbbell flyes: 25 lbs, 12 reps, 2 sets

i basically wantto specifically work on chest, so this is pretty much all i do for a workout, and i repeat this routine exactly every other day, but i wasnt sure about this cuz i just started working out, do you think there s some problem with this routine if yes please tell me specifically

Work your whole body. Never do what you're doing. You will cause postural imbalances in the future.

You want all Upper body work, and then lower too, so you have lower body strength to help carry the Upper body weight around.

I don't think you need all that Benching. You could possibly can the Declines, and increase other stuff to 3 sets not 2.

True, I Know someone (it's not me no no lol) who as been training biceps/chest every day, one exercises 5 sets of 12 ... He had after 3-4 months of training a real problem, back was hurting while walking, he was unable for a month to train and had a hard time to walk ... Don't fucked up with your body, you need to train with balance or to not train at all.
