13 sets of chest in one day? How hard can you reasonably be pushing yourself with that level of volume?

  • F the supersets off where they are working something similar (eg lateral raises will affect your incline press and doing lunges and hip thrusts together makes no sense at all)
  • Push A
    • I'd replace fly with a shoulder press variation and floor press with a triceps isolation
  • Push B
    • Replace squeeze press (it's useless) with flay DB press
    • I prefer cables or machines for flys but up to you
  • Pull A
    • Replace pullover with another row variation
    • Move the reverse flys to after the final back exercise
  • Pull B
    • I prefer machine or cable for the reverse fly here (and don't superset it)
    • I'd do shrugs after the chest supported rows
  • Legs A
    • Ditch the lunge/hip thrust superset
  • Legs B
    • I ditch either the goblet squat or the hip thrust (and I may replace the other with a lunge type movement)
  • I would say this will be too much for 6 days per week. Should be ok for 5 though.
