Do Not Try Another Chest Workout Until You Read This
Want to build a mighty, masculine chest?
Great.
First, let’s make sure you aren’t doing this…
Most Common Chest Building Mistake & How to Avoid It
Here’s a question I get a lot:
“How heavy should my reps for dips and bench press be?”
The answer is: as heavy as you can safely go.
With the dips (and bench press) we are essentially taking a meat cleaver
and tearing down the muscle fibers in your chest (that’s a good thing).
But that only happens if you are lifting heavy enough to do the tearing down.
So, go big on these two exercises.
Don’t think “I’ll take it easy here and work harder on the other exercises to make up for it”.
These two exercises are where you should spend 80% of your energy if you want max results fast.
The other exercises are “carving knives”.
The Great Temptation…Don’t Give In To It
And here’s where a lot of guys get off track and don’t get the hard body they’re looking for as fast as possible.
They pay more attention to the “finishers” than they do to the “meat cleavers”.
The meat cleavers are H-A-R-D.
Believe me, I know.
And I know it’s so tempting to just say “I’ll spend more time on the other carving knife exercises”.
Don’t give in to that temptation.
This is just another example of my 80/20 philosophy.
No matter what body part you’re working on, there are “80” exercises and there are “20” exercises.
If you spend 80% of your time on the 80s, you’ll get max results.
But if you spend 80% of your time on the 20s… you’ll stall out and get frustrated and maybe even quit.
AND MOST GUYS SPEND 80% OF THEIR TIME ON THE 20s!
I used to do that.
And then I wised up – stopped wasting time and energy, and started getting the results you see today by following the path in A Spartan Rises.
It’ll add lean muscle to your chest & the rest of your body – so you walk away with a bold masculine frame that radiates a strong presence.
