Chest of the Gods
For all you guys out there looking to grow that chest but have hit a plateau, this program is for you. There is no need to target this muscle group more than once a week with a huge variety of different movement patterns if trained properly. Keep the program simple and targeted and work to failure and you’ll be on your way to the chest of your dreams.
