Today was :

Dumbbell press x 4-5 sets of 6-8 reps
Decline barbell bench x 4 sets 6-8 reps
Throw in some calves to give my chest a little break
Flies on flat bench or machine x4 sets of 8-10 reps
Incline press on smith machine x4 sets 6-8 reps
Another calf exercise, sometimes I do some abs
Will finish myself off with as many pushups I can do x3 sets until my face hits the ground

Every couple of weeks I will change up the routine. I will start my day off with incline dumbbells or something like that.

Looking good bud. You ever do any cable flies? I prefer those to ones on the bench

I also prefer cable flies to dumbbell flies [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] So many more options and variations with the cables. However usually im stuck using dumbbells since they are often the product of a superset..

I only did cable flies like once in the past couple of months. I'm not opposed to them. I just don't usually incorporate them into my routine that often. Maybe I will start. They have great versatility and core strengthening potential.

That's the secret to calves. People bitch about genetically small calves, but you just have to work them differently and consciously. Not that mine are great (I dont have nutsack looking calves [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ), but they are bigger than they were !

Help Me, My Calves are Small

Yeap. I still do heavy sets of weight in the gym. A lot of burst sets too. But high concentrated reps is really the key to make them grow.
