A High Intensity Chest Workout for Women

This is a quick but powerful workout that's specifically tailored for women. But don't let that stop you guys! A workout is a workout, and anybody can build strong pecs off this simple, effective routine.

During this chest workout for women, you're going to be doing peels, or drop sets. During each exercise, you'll do 5 consecutive sets with weights. After each set, a partner will quickly pull off the outer weight and you keep going with the next set without resting. You need to have at least 5 plates on each side of your barbell for this to work.

Each set, the weight decreases but the number of reps increases. At the end you have 1/5th of the weight, but you're also doing 5x the number of reps. I told you it was intense!

Incline bench press, 5 sets. Reps are 4-8-12-16-20
Barbell bench press, 5 sets. Reps are 4-8-12-16-20
Decline bench press, 5 sets. Reps are 4-8-12-16-20

At the end, do Pec Dec, 3 sets of 15 with no peel.
