If it seems like your current pressing strength has found residency in plateauville or the fact that the Zimbabwe dollar is experiencing better growth than your chest—I have the workout if you have the work ethic.
Do this chest blaster once a week and experience a new level of growth and a surge in strength levels.
No fancy equipment is needed—just you, a barbell and dumbbells. Time to hit the pig iron.
Important Note
After the last exercise (dumbbell pullover), you’re going to perform the brutal Juarez Valley 20.
The Juarez Valley 20 consists of ascending and descending pushup repetitions in an alternating fashion. The repetitions are performed in descending order on all odd-numbered sets. On even-numbered sets, reps are performed in ascending order. Here’s how it looks.
Set 1-20 Reps Set 2-1 Rep Set 3-19 Reps Set 4-2 Reps Set 5-18 Reps Set 6-3 Reps Set 7-17 Reps Set 8-4 Reps Set 9-16 Reps Set 10-5 Reps Set 11-15 Reps Set 12-6 Reps Set 13-14 Reps Set 14-7 Reps Set 15-13 Reps Set 16-8 Reps Set 17-12 Reps Set 18-9 Reps Set 19-11 Reps Set 20-10 Reps
Between each set, walk eight feet across your “cell”, keeping in the spirit that this routine evolved out of the penitentiary. The goal is to complete this sequence in less than 10 minutes. Perform the Juarez Valley at the end of this chest routine (below). It can be done for any number of reps, but we have a good knowledge of standards with the Juarez Valley 20. Only full range of motion counts.
