I got the July 2013 issue of MuscleMag International (and that magazine rocks by the way! 
) and saw this very unique way of working the chest.
I tried it last night and “Hello Dolly!” it was painful.
The article showed how you can take an adjustable bench and work your chest over, hitting some muscle you may have never touched before. The point was that somewhere between the flat bench and inclined position, there are angles that could actually recruit more muscle fibers.
It’s like a chain. With each link added, the chain becomes even stronger and more unbreakable. Now imagine those muscle fibers are the “links” of your muscle. The more fibers you “add” or work in an exercise, the stronger the chest gets!
True, your flat and incline bench press PR may be hitting close to the weight of a car, but imagine if you added even more to the equation
…now we are talking pressing Hummers and Tanks!
So here is what it looks like:
After your warm up you will proceed doing Dumbbell Presses using the following angles, sets, and reps:
Flat, 2 x 6-8
Up 1 notch, 1 x 8-10
Up 2 notches, 1 x 8-10
Up 3 notches, 1 x 10-12
Up 2 notches 1 x 10-12
Up 1 notch, 1 x 8-10
Flat, 1 x 8-10
Now after you have gone up and down the hill, do it all over again but perform Dumbbell Flyes instead:
Flat, 2 x 8
Up 1 notch, 1 x 8-10
Up 2 notches, 1 x 8-10
Up 3 notches, 1 x 10-12
Up 2 notches 1 x 10-12
Up 1 notch, 1 x 10
Flat, 1 x 10
That’s 16 sets of pure goodness! Now, if you are like me, you may not be able to use the same weight for each angle. I had to drop down to 100′s at a certain point, but you may be able to do more
The point is to work the chest totally! And after hitting it like that, I think we have accomplished our goal!
