As you prepare
for bodybuilding competition, you need to concern yourself with even
more specific details - things that you would hardly notice during your
bodybuilding workout may suddenly become your major weak points.
We have seen
bodybuilders hitting a side chest pose and showing striations in the
inner pecs, but not farther up on the chest. This kind of detail can
make a big difference in a close contest. It is best for these
bodybuilders to superset incline presses (with a barbell or dumbbells)
with cable crossovers to rectify this chest muscle's weakness.
The
competition program for the chest muscles is designed on a push-pull
basis, combining movements for chest and back done as supersets and
trisets. Combining these exercises gives you a tremendous pump, and will
really blast your chest muscles and give them the size, shape,
definition, and tie-ins you need for successful competition.
Supersets
like weighted chins plus incline bench presses, flat bench presses plus
wide grip chins, and dumbbell flys plus bent-over barbell rows keep the
back and chest muscle pumped at the same time and allow you to train
pectorals and lats each in turn - muscles which work in opposition to
each other - so that one has a chance to rest while the other does a
set. And since you are dealing with opposing muscles, every set for the
back helps stretch the pectorals while they are recuperating for the
next chest set.
