This power building chest workout began with the bench press.  I normally hate the bench press, but I do it from time to time to get the hormonal benefit it gives me from the stress it places on my central nervous system.  I was feeling really good from the extra calories I ate over Christmas so I decided to come in and hit it hard.  I ended up with 315 for 7, which is great for me.  From there I went on to the incline bench press and I hit 3 sets working up to 275 for 5.  This was also great for me.  Feeling really good I worked my way over to the dip bars where I hit full dips and a variation I call pec minor dips to work my lower pecs.  This latter version looks like a reverse shrug on the dip bars and it is a great addition to any chest workout.  From there, I finished with one of my favorite chest building exercises: the cable crossover.  The variation I performed here focused on the lower pecs and I made sure to really contract my pecs as I performed the movement.  All in all this was a pretty good chest workout.  I like power building with even other aspect of my physique, but I have shied away from it with chest due to injuries I have sustained while performing the bench press.  I will continue to bench press in future weeks, but will not go up in weight until I can perform a bench press set of 315 for 10 clean repetitions.
