Chest Like Stone – Workout Plan for Maximum Muscle Growth (With Easy Explanations)
A massive, well-shaped chest is the hallmark of a true bodybuilder. But building it takes more than a few sets of bench press. Here’s a structured training plan for real growth, with clear explanations even beginners can understand.
Training Frequency and Split
Train your chest twice a week. That way, you hit the muscle hard and allow time for proper recovery.
Suggested split: Push / Pull / Legs
- Push: Chest, shoulders, triceps
- Pull: Back, biceps
- Legs: Lower body
