Workout Description
I have a great quick chest routine ~ takes you to exhaustion but is quick and complete workout. Will need partners to help.
Peels - Peels are also known as drop sets. After your first set for an exercise, have your partner "peel off" weight, and immediately perform another set without resting. You need at least 5 plates on each side – 1 (from each side) will be removed for each set of reps. You will perform peels for all listed sets of:
- Incline Bench Press
- Barbell Bench Press
- Decline Bench Press
For each of these exercises, you will perform 5 total sets. The first set is your heaviest set of 4 reps. Peel off weight and immediately perform an 8 rep set. Continue this drop set pattern until you are finished with your last set of 20 reps, then move on to the next exercise.
Will need a spotter and a person on each side of bar to remove plates. make sure to rest between different exercises.
Peels are not performed on pec dec sets.

Brenda, start slow and expect some aches tomorrow. I have always been rather veluptuous and became beyond big and saggy after having 3 kids. I do butterflies in the gym as well as the assortment of the other full body machines ofered. I will be switching my routine to free weights soon now that I have lost 40lbs and need to challenge my body more to avoid plateauing again. The pain is worth it, I get told by ALL my friends that my boobs look great. These will help a lot, but you will experience tenderness. DON'T GIVE UP. No pain, no gain :)
So this workout will help my breast look not so saggy right?? I am combining it with another routine too help me loose weight overall .. Im chubby :/
First time hitting the gym and i dont want to go and not know what im doing!
It will certainly help to build / maintain some muscle there while losing weight. Good luck!

Hey guys I am FTM, pre-T and I'm looking for a way to get a more masculine chest so no boobage just my pecs but surgery isn't an option at the moment . I'm just about an AA and wondering if this workout will help achieve this? Or will it make the little I have bigger and perkier?
I think this program can burn all my Brest fat because of too much reps.
My wife is 5' tall and normally about 125 to 130 lbs, but after two kids she had put on some weight and her breasts got pretty big. She has been exercising and slowly droping the weight, but her breasts are still pretty big for her size. She says that the weight is bothering her neck and shoulders and she is considering surgery. Are there any workouts that she can try that will concentrate on this problem?
Hi Wayne,
I think she would benefit from most upper body weight training, including traps, back, lower back and shoulder work - as long as it is some form of progressive resistance that challenges her to get stronger.
I've always had very large breasts. I even played high school soccer and was the smallest I had ever been (I've never been overweight) and it did not change them. When I started lifting weights at age 20, my chest began to shrink for the first time ever. If you decrease your body fat percentage, your chest size can decrease because its all fat.
Dof,
Female breasts are primarily fat. There is no way to train fat to give you the 'popped up' look. Make decline presses a priority in your workout routine to help give you a 'lifted' breast. Short of breast augmentation, women cannot grow bigger breasts with weight training but we can make them less prone to sagging!
This is so true, i train 5 times a week and can say i do not have this problem at all :)
Hi there :) i am looking for a way to get that "lift" you talking about, could u explain to me what exactly decline presses are and what other exercises can be done for this :) im new to this and it would be very much appreciated ^_^ Thanks!
Hey Nadia,
Here is an example of the decline press: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/decline-bench-press.html
Hi! Please correct me if wrong: incline (chest) bench press will develop that part of the chest that "pops up" when using cocktail dresses and the like. If not, would you please tell me which excercise will help me develop that good-looking part? Not interested in volume, just definition.
THanks!!
Hi Dof,
To get a muscular upper chest, you will have to train very hard for several years. This will require adding quite a bit of muscle.
The comment of traning for several years to build muscles seems very uninformed, and discouraging to people who don't know better.
Consistent exercise (3-4 times wkly for about 30 min minimum) yields results in weeks, definitely in a month.
