5. Post Activation Potentiation
This workout enables you to use and focus on the complete pectoralis muscle and allows you to lift more than usual, which will speed up your progress. You’ll start out working up to almost 110% of your normal working weight for a repetition or two, then decrease your regular weight. The workout includes 2 sets of PAP Barbell Bench Presses (which are repeated twice) and 3-5 sets of Bench Presses after PAP with 8 reps. You should also do 3-5 sets of Incline Dumbbell Presses, EZ Bar Pullovers, and Pec Deck Flyes (repeated 12, 8 and 15 times, respectively).
