Cover model chest routine

This is a chest workout famously used by the world number 1 fitness model Greg Plitt. this workout is great for overloading your chest and allowing muscle growth and even definition throughout your pectoral region. The workout goes as follows:

- Flat Dumbbell press - 4 sets- 12, 10, 8, 6 (pyramid the weight so each set increase the weight so you max out on the last rep) It is important prior to the start of this routine to do a warm up set or 2 with a light weight this not only prevents you from injury but also increased strength throughout the actual sets as blood will be already flowing to the working muscles.

* Superset this activity with (this means after 1 set of press immmediately follow it with the 1st set of the next exercise before resting.)

- Flat Dumbbell fly- 4 sets- 12, 12, 10, 10

Following this combination move onto

- Incline dumbbell press- 4 sets- 12, 10, 8, 6 (same as with flat press)

*Superset with

- Incline dumbbell fly- 4 sets- 12, 12, 10, 10

to end the session and really tax your muscles you will do a couple of body weight exercises to failure

- Dips- 3 sets to failure
- Pushups 3 sets to failure- 1st set narrow or diamond grip

- 2nd set normal grip

- 3rd set wide grip

After completing this workout today I can certainly say that this workout is taxing and probably the best session I have done in a long time. However I did add in a few sets of heavy lat pull down (4 sets wide grip and 4 sets narrow) to make up for missing my back session while I waited for benches to be free so did a little more than this routine but by the end of the session I found it very difficult to do more than 10 pushups before muscle failure so I would certainly recommend this routine to anyone wanting a well rounded chest.

If you come to the end of this routine and can not manage to do any pushups do not worry that just shows you have had a great workout and have deserved a well earned rest at home.
