Ryan Terry’s 2023 season was well-documented as the UK bodybuilding icon finally took home the title of Olympia Men’s Physique champion, thanks to a rigorous prep that included bolstering his back. Now, with the chance to repeat his success just a few months away, Terry continues to leave no stone unturned as he shores up his front with this Ryan Terry’s chest day workout, that you can try it too.
This chest day workout, shared by Terry via his Instagram account, is another example of the hard work and commitment that the Men’s Physique competitor puts into each and every gym session. Here, the 2023 champ can be seen taking in a high number of sets and reps as he looks push his workouts towards failure, encouraging hypertrophy and that all-important muscle growth. For Terry however, there’s no ego lifting, as he explained on June 3, 2024
“… at this stage, for me it’s not about shifting mass weight, it’s truly getting that mind to muscle connection and making sure you feel every rep, slowing them down when needed to get that extra connection, and pushing to absolute failure every session,” he explained. “Emptying the tank completely… walking out the gym drained and tired but knowing another quality session ticked off. No feeling like it.”
Ryan Terry
Having worked out with Ryan Terry myself, I know that the 35-year-old uses his wisdom to work smart as well as hard, carefully selecting each exercise for the precise angle and efficiency that it can deliver in terms of bringing him closer to success. Whether it’s his back workout or front, Terry is prepping to bring his best physique yet to Las Vegas in October and, if you want to earn your chops, you can try his chest workout for yourself. It’s a doozy though, so make sure to tailor it to your own level of fitness by reducing the number of sets as required. And, be sure to concentrate on the mind-muscle connection by practicing proper form and executing each rep with time under tension.
