Try doing this:

1. Inclined Chest Press barbel - 10 Kg each side, 15 reps, 5 sets
2. Flat Chest Press barbel - 10 Kg each side, 15 reps, 5 sets
3. Hammer Strength chest press - 20 kg each side, 15 reps, of 5 sets.

You may also try drop sets. Add 2.5 kg for each set, and lessen your reps by 2 for each set.

If you think you can handle more weight, you can start with 15 kg for each side. Thats for the inclined and Chest Press barbel.

what's a hammer strength chest press? 20 kgs each side is too heavy for me

You may sign up in FF. Dont worry about the bad comments you've been hearing, things have improved and the management has been more strict. You would see that there are guards patrolling in the locker room so your belongings are safe.

They offered me a free session in RCBC. Too bad I didn't have time last month to go.

True that when I hear guys working out in FF, I always look at them with a jaundiced eye. Nevertheless i'm still interested in signing up for a program.

What could be the reason behind this?

At first, I was hesitant as well to sign up, since i heard so many negative reviews such as the payment system, security, and sexual advances from other clients. In my 8 months of stay, I'm pretty satisfied with their service. I havent encountered sexual advances or anything weird. Most of the people around are decent. I go there early in the morning since it gets crowded late in the afternoon til closing.

i wanna go to thee gym and werkout!

Go, bro!

If you have the time and the money for it, then hitting the gym's a good idea.

Personally, besides the eye-candy, i appreciate what i see in the mirror nowadays dahil sa kkgym.
Plus, on those days that i feel out of it, ihave 1 reason to love myself: syempre pinaghirapan ko n yung nakikitang image ko. Far from perfect, pero it's a boost for my self image. No need for close-up for that dose of self-confidence! XD

Ako rin, satisfied with FF. Service is perfect unlike sa Gold's. 'Yun nga lang siguro 'yun big difference ng dalawa. Good for you Jap, you haven't experienced anything scary in the locker room. I remember one time, in the steam room, one guy was staring at me. I gave him my angry-i-can-knock-your-lights-out look.

Sa FF GHills, superb. I miss the front desk people there, and Retro.

Elron, anu yung nging experience mu s gold's? Im considering geting a 1yr membership dun eh, cuz it's worked out for me so far. Baka there's something i gotta look out for, d kaya?

Anyway GX? Yung sa gold's?

Well, i agree. Keribells kung lonewolf mode s gym. It gets old sometimes, though.

Eto, Skry:
1. Reception isn't that friendly, 'ni hindi ka ata titingnan once you present your ID. No good evenings, no greetings, no good byes. I guess nasanay ako sa FF na vibes ang front desk.
2. Sometimes you need to wait para mabakante isang treadmill or stepper. Parang one machine lang ang andun (like the ab cruncher, isa lang).
3. Gold's GX is great! I enjoy Smooves alot.
4. Ok sana ang locker room, not all shower cubicles have their own soap and shampoo. Wala rin masyadong staff para i-accomodate ka kung hihingi ka ng sabon or shampoo.

These are based on my experience sa Gold's Galle. Their PT is superb, hands on talaga.

Hope this helps.

I see. I'vebeen heading for Gold's @ Timog.

So far, the reception desk there ain't so friendly either... But i've broken the ice at least w/1 receptionist (oh, the deception of a straight exterior

).

Yeah, i also have to wait for treadmills to free-up at peak hours... Which is pretty much the same case as Slimmers. FF seems to have truckloads of treadmills if you don't have to wait your turn at them XD

never tried any type of GX b4. I guess nuthin's caught my attention among their offerings just yet.

I like their locker rooms @ timog. Pretty enough, and though the layout of the lockers can get pretty tight at times... Ohohohoho, just wish the lockers around you belong to hoties you can brush up against 8D and their showers all have soap & shampoo, albeit well watered-down. But i bring my own soap anyway. But yeah, not enough staff in the locker rooms to get assistance from. Takot mapaghinalaan? Ahhh, machismonga naman, lol.

I take it that FF is the opposite of these?

Thanks for yer input, btw o/

Hands-on ang PT? Ohohoho, hands on where? 8D

Sa FF ako nagwowork-out. I'm dying to do more bench press, but you see am such a wimp. Even 10kgs each is to much for me. I can handle it good if I get anyone to spot for me. Problem is, I don't have a trainer and no regular gym bud. Nahihiya naman akong babaan pa yung 10.

But thanks for the advice Jap. It's very rare for me to write here so I hope to hear more from you guys.

I go to FF as well. No prob dude. We can share our workout programs here.

Dude, Bench-pressing is fine pero there are other chest exercises you might wanna try out, like dumbell flys (flat, inclined & declined) and push-ups. wala lang, if you get bored, variety helps. don't limit yourself to bench-pressing

and don't think yourself a wimp, pare. eh ano naman kung sa ngayon, 10kg lng buhat mo? time, effort and discipline lang, tataas din yan. just think about how much you want those yummy pecs on you. motivation din yan!
