More Volume…
It seems that for the moment, anyhow, that my body is responding better to high and/or insane amounts of volume. My parts that were lagging more than the others are finally catching up. I changed my chest workout and am finally reaping some rewards. It went as follows:
Decline press: 1st set 20 reps, 2nd set 15 reps, 3rd set 10 reps, 4th set 10 reps, 5th set 6 reps. (Increase weight between 20-50 pounds each set.)
Incline bench: 5 sets of 15 at a weight that makes you REALLY work for 15 reps
Machine bench: Same as inclines
Cable cross overs: Same as decline bench but only adding one plate per set
Pec-deck flyes: Same as incline press.
Triceps were trained in my usual high volume routine.

Whats up Dead?
High volume / High intensity is the way to go for bodybuilders and bodyshapers. Let’s just be real about it, when you’re lifting extremely heavy weight at low reps, it’s sometimes hard to feel the intended muscle getting any work. I say, "High Volume / High Intensity, results in the Highly Acute Lactic Acid burn which in turn equals intended muscle growth!! "

I have to agree with bodyauditor. Just make sure you get your calories in with a higher volume.
