Zero bench

4 sets of 50 reps (2 sets close grip, 2 sets bench grip)

 

dumbbell press

70's for 3 sets of 20 reps

 

chest supported barbell rows

135 for 4 sets of 8 reps

 

assisted dips

70 pounds of assistance for 4 sets of 10 reps

 

assisted chins

70 pounds of assistance for 4 sets of 10 reps

 

standing military press with angle bar

95 for 4 sets of 10 reps

 

I used to love doing dips and loved doing them heavy...but as time went on they became painful on my elbows without assistance. I think the movement is still beneficial provided I can do them pain-free so I use assistance.
