What is a good chest workout?

Answer:
If you are looking for a chest workout, there

are a lot of them out there. However, if you want to get the most bang for your buck, and get out of the gym in a decent amount of time, I think you'll find this routine effective.

With this routine, I like to combine two, good old standard pec exercises into one superset. Begin with the isolation movement of either dumbbells or machine flies. If using dumbbells, take two dumbbells, lie back on a bench with the weights pressed to arms length. With a slight bend in the elbow, lower the weights out to each side until you get a good stretch across the chest. Now bring the weights back to the starting position. Take this set to a point of failure, where another repetition isn't possible despite your greatest effort. The rep range should be between 8-12. Any less than this, go lighter. Any more, go heavier.

Now, in as little time as possible, move to either a bench press or a chest press machine and perform a set of presses to failure. We want our reps to stay in the 4-8 range on this for power purposes. Be sure to have the pressing station set up prior to beginning the flies, thereby shortening the length of time between exercises.

If you hit this "cycle" with the proper amount of intensity (high-intensity) you should only need to do it once. This makes your chest workout take about five minutes, including set up.
