It's coming down to the final phase (4 weeks) of training before the summer offically is here.
So I work out more using superset, triset and circuit training on alternate low to medium training days to complement regular strength training program.
Here is the workout routine to work on chest and back muscles.
Dumbbell Triset (3 sets)
- Dumbbell Bent-over Rows @ 45/45# x 12 reps
- Flat Bench Dumbbell Flye @ 45/45# x 10 reps
- Flat Bench Close-grip Chest Press @ 45/45# x 6-10 reps
Note 1: 45/45# is a bit lighter weight for lat but I feel good squeezing.
Note 2: 45/45# for chest flye is the limiting lift in this triset routine. It's really a pre-exhaustion set that kills most of my energy.
Note 3: I can really feel the "burn" on my chest (or pec minor, to be specific) using 45/45# close-grip chest press.
Cable Superset (3 sets) High Angle
- Pulldown (neutral grip) @ 8 x 10 reps
- Pulldown (neutral to rotating inward) @ 8 x 10 reps
- Chest Cross-over @ 5 x 10 reps
- Chest Cross-over "Most Musclular" stance @ 5 x 10 reps

Power Pushup Circuit for Chiseled Chest, Sculpted Shoulders and Toned Triceps
Power Pushup Circuit
Although many people can't do perfect pushups or hate to do pushups, they are in fact excellent exercise to work your whole body.
The primary bodypart worked on is chest, then triceps and front shoulders. In order to maintain the near-straight-line body alignment while doing pushups, you have to engage your core (abs, lower back and glutes).
In this power pushup circuit workout, I demonstarte the following 5 pushup exercises as a circuit.
1. Chapping Pushup x 6 reps
2. Sliding Pushup - front to back x 6 reps
3. Sliding Pushup - in to out x 6 reps
4. Shuffling Pushup x 6 reps
5. Lateral Walking Pushup x 6 reps
If you're a beginner or can't quite do more than a few pushups, start with one or two reps in each exercise with rest in between. Gradually increase the reps and/or reduce rest period.

Bodyweight Pushup and Variations for Big Chest and Toned Triceps
DIY Bodyweight Training - Pushup and Variations
Pushup is a great exercise to strengthen and build chest muscle, tone up triceps and sculpt front shoulder. It's also a better exercise than supported chest bench press in that you need to stabilize your whole body and "core" to maintain a near straight-line throughout the range of motion.
So follow me along in this pushup super circuit training for a bigger chest and toned triceps. In the video, I did 6 reps in each of the 5 pushup exercises as a circuit workout back to back totalling 30 reps. Give it a try. You are poweful!
1. Standard Pushup x 6 reps
2. Spiderman Pushup x 6 reps
3. Grasshopper Pushup x 6 reps
4. Walking Alligator Pushup x 6 reps
5. T-Pushup x 6 reps
