I do not know if you are trying to do a high volume training regimen, but 5 exercises for 20 sets is a lot for just your pecs.
I would eliminate your fly movements, and lower your volume down to no more than 3 sets for your pressing movements. For the first exercise warm up for a few sets (but not too much, you dont want to build up too much lactic acid before your actual sets that build muscle/strength) and then jump straight to your set that you can only do 8 reps. I bet if you do not waste your energy with all the warmup/workup sets your strength will sky rocket. Then for your next few exercises go straight to your heavy set with no warmups for only a set or two. You should not do any more than 6-8 working sets max for your large muscle groups.
This style of training is to maximize recovery, while preventing over training and not wasting your time on sets that do nothing as far as building strength or inducing muscle hypertrophy. If you have any questions let me know, but that is just my two cents. :xyxthumbs:

Rgith now im doing this mostly because i am not going for the strength gains right now...i work really fast trough the sets and try to keep the heartrate up seeing that i am trying to lose weight..i dont really consider the crossovers as a ex. if i do them first...i did them jsut ot give a mump because i have trouble getting a pump with benchpress if i start with it.I know it seems like a lot but i fly trough them and i am hittin chest only once every 6 days so i recover quite well..on the 24th it will be one month that am training this way in the new gym and i was thinking of switching it up come the 25th...more like dogcrapp....thanx for the advice dude! if u know a site where i can get info on dogcrap or somethin like that that u feel will up my stenght and power let me know...!!

I'm gonna follow Braaq on this one. It is a lot of volume for chest. Don't forget, lean muscle burns calories, so don't just focus on doing high-volume rapid-pace workouts all the time if you're trying to lose weight. I think the DC or DCesque training will do you good because it'll get you into a two-day split geared towards muscle and strength building which might help you lose weight.

I only do two exercises max for chest, maybe 6-8 sets of 8-12 reps. If I'm doing a heavy day on bench with smaller sets, I may do like 8-12 sets of 1-4 reps or something like that. I never do flies. My chest strength and size took off doing this. It's something to think about. A lot of the guys around here will tell you flies are an inferior exercise than pressing...I don't understand enough about it to give you a great answer as to why, but the down and dirty is your pecs are designed for pressing more than they are for fly movements, and I can tell you from experience that they're probably right :xyxthumbs: Everyone's different, but I'd definitely encourage you to give this a try.

Also, the pump, while nice, is not the goal for most bodybuilders now. If you get the pump as an ancillary effect, good, but I would just focus on trying to get stronger. Then again, do what works for you; I know my bis and tris do better doing workouts that tend to induce a pump, while my other body parts don't really need that to grow. Also, if you do shift to DC training, apparently you will want a good pump before doing fascia stretching which is a big part of the program.

The first google hit on doggcrapp is a good resource: http://dc-training.blogspot.com/
Some things you'll want to notice before doing DC: not all muscles are trained rest-paused (for example, you don't do rest-paused squats, you do a normal set and a 'widowmaker'); there's a very specific routine to fascia stretching from week to week, make sure you check into that; and try not to pause at all between the pauses of your rest-pause sets. Sounds obvious, I know :49: But I tried DC for a bit and one thing I noticed about myself is I slipped into that mode where I would take a small 1-2 second break mid-set to help me get out another rep. You don't want to do that; do the reps rapid-fire, and pause when you can't do anymore, otherwise you defeat the purpose of that 15 second rest.

Wow, that was a lot :hsughup: The most important thing is to always listen to your body and just be in the gym doing something, but hopefully some of this stuff will help. Let me know if you have any questions.

Oh, and nice job on the PBs :hsughr:

No problem bro :2:
Warming up with cross overs is not a bad idea, if done correctly they can be a great stretch for your pecs and shoulders and will warmup you up.
You will find that weight training, even if you do it fast paced and high reps, does not burn a significant amount of calories for weightloss.
Like Glex said, building muscle will result in a higher metabolism from more lean mass. Along with cardio that will result in more fat loss as long as your on a clean diet and taking in enough calories to gain lean mass.
I would say doing the type of training you are doing is good for getting you ready for a DC type training style, it has built a foundation for you. So good luck at the new gym and if/when you start your new training regimen me and Glex or anyone else are down to help you out if you have questions :xyxthumbs:

Nothing to add from what's been said by Braaq and Glex other than that I agree - whilst you are making good gains the advice given will definately push you further.

Good weight nonetheless considering all the exercises you're doing!
