Lately, I’m starting to learn that simplicity wins most of the time. More doesn’t always translate to better, it eventually just turns into junk. That’s exactly how my last gym session felt.
One muscle group I think is underdeveloped in my physique is my chest. You could argue it’s partly because of my body fat percentage, but even then, it could be fuller. It looks flat more often than I’d like. My immediate reaction was to increase volume. I started piling on different routines: bench press, dumbbell press, dips, dumbbell and cable flyes, pec deck, you name it.
The first time I did this, I felt really sore. I’d poke my chest and feel pain, and my brain translated that as progress. But now I’m starting to rethink that. Maybe more volume isn’t exactly the way to go.
Lately, I’ve been focusing on just two chest variations, pushing myself as usual while really dialing into that mind-muscle connection, then calling it a day. I did the dumbbell incline press and cable fly (like in the video), and I noticed I got a solid pump. I even felt sore afterward, though I know soreness doesn’t necessarily mean growth.
I’m currently down with malaria, but I definitely still felt yesterday’s session. I highly recommend the seated cable chest fly, it really gives you that full stretch and squeeze with total focus.
Anyways, thanks for reading. Till next time. God bless.
