Workout Description and Instruction:

“The Shocker” chest and tricep workout is probably a little different than your standard push routine. How’s it different? It seems sacrilegious to create a chest workout without the king of all chest exercises, the barbell bench press, but that’s exactly what we did.
Before you leave the page to find a workout that looks exactly like the one you’re currently doing, hear us out: A lot of guys can bench press a ton but have comparitively small chests. That’s because some people naturally work their pecs more during barbell bench and some press the weight by relying more on their delts and arms.
This workout is designed to focus more on isolating your chest and tricep muscles and removes barbells from the equation. We certainly don’t recommend skipping barbell bench long-term, but try this workout as your push routine for a few weeks and put it to the sore chest test.
Don’t believe we like to bench press? Check out our best chest exercises page and see how it ranked.
Directions:
- Perform all sets of one exercise before moving to the next and use a weight that will allow you to complete only the listed number of reps.
- Rest no shorter than 1-2 minutes between each exercise.
- Focus on squeezing your chest muscles and your triceps during the chest and tricep exercises. Rembember what each exercise is supposed to be working and alter your grip, range of motion, etc. to make the exercise the most effective.
