hey guys, my friend who went from scrawny to built recently gave me a chest program to follow for the days i do chest-back, just wanted a second opinion. keep in mind i only have chest muscle if i flex hard...and turn into the right light..its not good right now :o\
- 3 sets 10 reps of dumbbell presses 25 25 30
- 3 sets 10 reps of incline dumbbell presses 25 25 30
- 3 sets 10 reps of decline dumbbell presses 25 25 25 - i was too tired
- 3 sets 10 reps of that machine you sit on and clap your hand together while holding the bar that hangs down (sorry)
75 75 85
i actually feel ok doing this and seems like in a few weeks i can up the 30lb reps to 25 30 30 then maybe 30 30 35.
does this sound good??
btw, 6'1, 193 (lost 2 more ;o)), healthy diet, no junk, and i use protein powder (chocolate flavored whey amino something, but it tastes like something else of that color :ox)

I agree with shlon with regards to the workout. Consitency is the key...but you must also truly work the muscles. Remember that you grow during your resting time...remember not to do this every day.
In regards to the protein powder, personally I dislike most chocolate flavoured ones...I go with vanilla and blend in 1/2 a banana or some berries for flavour (try freezing the fruit first and try with skim milk and it will taste like a shake)
Goodluck and keep us posted.
