Chest Sets

[MethTest]

How many sets are people using for Chest?

Worried im over training slightly at 16-18 sets, dont feel fatigued and have developed good size but i think i may decrease to 12-13 sets.

roughly, how many reps are you doing per set? weight % of max?

im up near 17-20sets total, over 4 exercises; but am averaging 6-8 reps per set.

3xbench
4xincline db press
4xmachine press
4-7xfly (last 3 are pump sets)
so totalling 15-18 Total sets anywhere from 8-16 (usually 8-12) reps.

im pretty similar im on:

Incline bench BB 4 x 15/12/6/4
Flat bench BB 4x 12/6/4/4
Decline bench BB 4x 12/6/4/4
flyes (alternate between flat/decline/incline every session) 3x 12/8/8
fininsh with db pull overs 2 or 3 sets heavy to finish with a nice stretch.

every session i try to change it up so either do them in different order or I change to DB's.

Currently im doing 2 weeks with light weight with high reps along the lines of 4x 30/20/20/15 for press for example with same number of sets as above.

once this week is finished (2nd week of high reps) im gona take a week off then start back again with something different, not sure what to try next but have in mind 5x5 maybe or do a few weeks of H.I.T. whats everyones opinions, whats worked well for you guys?

current stats are:
Age 27 (day before yesterday woohoo.... not chuffed)
6'0''
245 lbs
chest 49in
arms 19.5in
waist 34in
BF N/K

Meth if ur gaining and the body feels good, I would continue what ur doing. I normally do 12-15 sets myself. Sometimes I could do way more, but more isnt always better if u know what I mean. Ur info and stats look good and imho I would continue doing what ur doing.
