If your chest is sore for a couple of days how would that affect you training other muscle groups? Push your body. Sometimes it's good to get of a routine you may have been doing for months and just hammer the s*** out of yourself. I did this routine with 30 second rest periods instead of the recommended 60. Afterwards I felt pretty dehydrated I will admit, but my chest was quite pumped. It's 2 days out now and the soreness is almost gone. Give it a try before you knock it.

RefreshingOJ please do more research. If you do this without multiple times in a week then you're wasting your time. You'll learn soon enough that you can't activate different parts of the chest by using different equipment. Your chest has no f*cking idea what equipment it's using, just the movement. Having the two in the same workout is pointless. Mudvayne you will also learn that soreness is a poor indicator of how effective a workout is. 24 sets is ridiculous if you've got nothing ELSE helping you. The idea is to stimulate not annihilate. or you can both ignore what I just said and carry on. Let me know how it goes for you, if you think you'll end up looking like Freddie smalls doing his chest workout, think again

If it worked for Freddie Smalls, it will work for someone else as well. While I prefer DTP or HIT, there's no reason why a high volume approach like this wouldn't work for someone trying to add mass or strength to their chest, heck, at one time before I started using HIT and DTP, I was averaging 25-30 sets any time I went in to hit chest, and was seeing fantastic strength gains.

Okay first and foremost, I'm not saying you can't gain anything from this workout because Biggie is clearly not a runt, but what I'm saying is, this workout wiki not work for the vast majority. In fact for those this does work for, I can almost guarantee that if you used a lower volume high frequency approach you would have seen better strength and hypertrophy gains. How you built strength off this in will never know unless you had noob gains (haven't been training for more than 2 years)

I've been training high volume and high intensity for years and it seems to be working out just fine for me. My chest is pretty strong and contains a lot of muscle, so it doesn't seem to be destroying my gains at all. There's a ton of studies and research out there that says high volume works very well for a LOT of people. "Overtraining", as it's often called, is more of a myth than anything. We are not smarter than our bodies. We put a certain amount of stress on it and it will adapt and build what it needs, where it needs it. If you ever asked Arnold, Jay Cutler, Kai Greene, etc. if they thought high volume training was useless they would laugh in your face. Also, I only had a slight soreness the next day from this workout with 1/2 of the rest intervals recommended. Different people utilize different workouts. Can it work for them if it doesn't work for you? Absolutely. You may need to learn that...
