Do you even lift, bro????

 

[Punished Miku]

If you're literally obsessed with chest, I'd look up some calisthenics push-up routines. There's about 10 different types of push-ups to hit different angles. You're not likely to hurt yourself either and can do it every day if you really want.

Do you want Muscle or strength, and if you want a good combination of both you need multiple reps of weight you can control. If you just want to look big, high weight short reps.

Too much of anything isn't good for you.

Obviously yes. You need a program that allows you to maximize your strength/hypertrophy gains without getting into "junk volume" territory. What does your current routine look like?

 

[GymWolf]

There is overtraining yes.

Your pecs is not gonna grow larger because you do 100 sets every day.

That can happen maybe in the absolute first 6 months of gym where the body is beyond receptive to muscle growth and it's almost impossible to fuck up.

Follow a program.

If you've never lifted before, 5/3/1 for Beginners is pretty good and once you advance past the beginner stage there's an almost unlimited number of 5/3/1 programs you can run

If you're a beginner, definitely look up a proper training program.

I'm training 7 days a week, so I'm the last person to give advice. But my split is sensible and I get plenty of sleep.

I did a 7-day/week bro-split for 100 days in a row. Honestly found it to be one of the most effective ways to train. I think as long you listen to your body and aren't fatigued or still super sore when you train specific body parts, you're good to go. It worked out great for me but I can't maintain it because of the time commitment.

Yeah, I do it not just for the obvious strength and muscle gains, but mostly for my sanity and mental health. I wake up at 5:45 AM every day, eat some cottage cheese, drink a glass of water, and cycle to the gym. My current split is legs / shoulders / back & biceps / chest & triceps, then I repeat. Sometimes I skip a day, but I think I've been going pretty much non-stop for over 50 days now.

For shoulder heath and a balanced physique you should atleast try to match your pushing volume with pulling. Some experts even say that pulling should exceed pushing by 20%. So for every 5 sets of push-ups or bench press, try to do 6 sets of either a vertical pull, like a pull-up) or horizontal pull, like a row (or ideally both).

Good for you. Inspiring. I wish I could do that. Maybe I will, some day...
