Summary:
A total of 7 exercises that focuses on stretching your muscle fibres to produce a thicker, wider and ultimately stronger chest. The workout prioritises flye movements to thicken your chest, as opposed to a session of just pressing. Many people neglect the inner chest as their too obsessed on "how much you benching BRO?"
The first press movement is incline as it builds a deeper shape to your upper chest, and ultimately is much harder/productive than flat bench. The addition of REVERSE incline flyes really helps stretch the muscle fibres.
The seventh and final movement, flat bench will be performed at your most fatigued. By doing this you will be performing the strongest chest angle at your weakest point, think of this like a pre-exhaust. At the end of week 5/6 when you change up your routine start with flat bench and notice how easy it feels!
