if i might suggest something for strength and size in the chest
For strength...you have to keep upping that weight. Like after the 260#x6, you should have repped out 275. If you got more than three, add another 5-10 pounds to each side and rep it out. Get plenty of rest time in between sets.
As for chest size...I can stress enough how much this incline DB flye has blown my chest up. I started with light weights and really focused on lowering the weight slowly until i felt a stretch in the chest (maybe a 45degree bend in my elbows) then concentrate on bringing that weight back up by bringing my elbows together to really focus on contracting the chest. I started at like 30's. I'm up 70's for reps and the gains and great. Just be sure once you go up in weight to only lower to the stretch, we need to avoid chest marks as they are somewhat unsightly.
Goodluck brosky!

Thanks for the info Aczech. I will definitely think about incorporating what you've just listed. As of right now, I think I want to run my routine for a couple of my weeks because it's yielding pretty nice results.Aczech said:
As for incline DB Flies, I used to do them a lot until my stretchmarks went out of control. I used a ton of cocoa butter/shea butter, but it didn't help it too much. I might throw one set in after my incline DBs if I'm feeling good that day.

Vitamin E cream may have been a better choice for the strech mark issue.

Thanks Czech. I did the DB flies the other week and to tell you the truth, it really didn't feel like I was using my chest too much, more like my shoulders. I think the problem might've been extending my arms out too high, meaning that the DBs weren't level with my chest when I was doing the movement.

i gotta tell you guys...it's all about the "plane of motion". You really have to start to light and work to feel it. For me, it's the incline bench, probably about 30 degrees. And i go down slow and don't break more than 45 degrees in my elbows. On the way up, i don't try to bring the weights over my head, but more over my chest, i imagine it as bringing them over my abs if you get my drift. It's like doing the identical motion of a flat flye on the incline bench, it really, really works for me. My chest development has never been better.
