Re-wrote my popular post, Top 5 Chest Exercises for Mass.
Give it a read, and keep your routine in check!
If you’re like anyone else, you’re either at a plateau, or just want to add some serious weight to your bench press:
1. Alternate the order of angled bench presses each chest workout
Keep your chest “guessing,” so it always feels challenged.
2. Try incorporating dumbbell presses into your workouts
Dumbbells provide a larger range of motion and stretch your chest more during the negative repetition.
3. Maintain a 4-6 rep range for adding mass
4 to 6 is the perfect rep range for heavy weight.
4. Consider training chest twice a week
Put your chest to work.
5. Train your Rotator Cuffs
Rotator Cuffs are inside your shoulder, and are used in many exercises, including Bench Press. The stronger your Rotator Cuffs are, the more ready they will be for a heavier bench press load.

Creatine is a great supplement for both building muscle, and toning down/losing fat*. What creatine does, is it causes your muscle cells to produce ATP.

Creatine Forms and Brands
1. Creatine Monohydrate
first of all, Creatine Monohydrate is definitely the most popular form of creatine. If you’ve never taken creatine or any supplement besides protein powder, It’s highly recommended from me that you start out with pure creatine monohydrate powder, and see how it works for you.
PROS
-It’s the cheapest creatine
-It has been under the most scientific studies than all other forms, and is proven to help with lean muscle gains.
CONS
-It is sometimes difficult on the stomach to digest, because it doesn’t easily disolve in water. (unless you buy micronized creatine monohydrate, which is more processed)
BRANDS
-Nutrex: VoluGro
-ABB Hardcore Essentials: Crea-Force
-MHP:Creaine Monohydrate
-Promora Health: Con-Cret
-Optimum Nutrition: Creatine 2500
2. Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE)
