INCLINE OR FLAT

Chest busters, reverse grip bench, For shrugs i like to end my shoulder session on stand calf raise. I just setup like normal and shrug instead of calf raises till failure. I feel that most of the movements we do alway incorporate the elbow. So any excersies i can do to give the elbow a rest is great.

Are you talking about a calf raise machine or putting the bar on your back and shrugging? What are chest busters?
 
Tell him to keep a consistent routine for starters. Do flat and incline with barbell for one and dumbell for the other. One week start off with flat and the next week with incline. Smith is good once in a while to get a good pump and squeeze but for the growth concentrate on these. I finish off my work outs with flys or cable crossovers and dips
 
I always start with Incline heavy incline bench you want that massive upper pectoral development that connect's your chest from front delt to front delt.
Then I move on to flat and decline dumbell's and finish with cable fly's high and Low.
I switch all my routines up from time to time but I always start my chest workout's with Incline Bench.
Good Luck to Ya Brother!
 
im sure this topic has been covered like a trillion times. Ive got a buddy thats training his ass off, everything is growing as expected but his chest. As far as I know alternates between incline (smith machine) and flat bench...not alot of dumbells..some cables flys....ive always had better success with flat myself....
Dumbbell Incline

I do the opposite and start my workout with heavy flat bench then I move on to the incline and do higher reps with shorter resting periods. It works my chest, triceps and shoulders wonderfully. I also do my overhead pressing movements on the same day, after the incline. The pump on my shoulders is phenomenal. I'm more comfortable pushing heavier weight on the flat bench than on the incline, that's why I do it first increasing weight by 5-10 pounds per week. I then do weighted dips and go nice and low, these work really work my chest great. I will also throw in a few sets of fly's and pull overs as a finisher with light weight to get a great pump and a good stretch. It is working wonders, my chest triceps and shoulders are fuller than they have ever been. I have seen lots of progress this cycle of just test as I'm just now adding in deca so I'm really looking forward to some great gains once the deca starts working.
 
This is my push routine I do twice per week. I'm currently running a push/pull/legs routine and it by far the best routine I have ever done. I'm making great mass gains while increasing weight and volume every week. I'm having more trouble getting my diet right but I'm trying to add calories every week, it's a clean diet though.

Nice Bro,You have to find what works what best for you and your goals my shoulder's have always been one of my strongest point's shoulders and traps really.They make a bb'er and give you that great 3 dimesional look.I always give them there own day and never incorporate them on a chest day as secondary muscle because they need and deserve there own day just as every other muscle does.Chest day is just that for me chest day time to Bomb it!! and the secondary pump on tri's and front delt's just comes along with the territory and preps for there own day of punishment.
My tri days always start with heavy close grip flat bench which I really feel put's the mass on the tri's and also incorparte's the front delt and inner chest.
I never get comfortable with any body part of particular lift for heavier sets for that body part and consistently keep changing and challenging the muscle that is aimed at growing or is my "weak point"
