This is the routine I've personally used to add strength and size to my chest as a lifetime natural athlete. From years of experimenting in the gym, this is the formula I've found works best for building a full, well-developed chest. The plan includes one chest day per week, hitting every angle and muscle fiber for maximum growth, plus a second lighter day that consists of three strategic sets of pressing to ensure the chest is getting plenty of volume. This 6-week plan combines strength and hypertrophy training, giving you the best of both worlds with heavy compound lifts to build a solid foundation and focused accessory work to sculpt and define your chest. Think of these workouts as the building blocks to a massive, powerful chest that stands out with both size and strength.
