I found this intriguing. She had me do back and an endless array of lunges/squats due to minor underdevelopment relative to chest, shoulders and arms. The prone grip seems to isolate the pectorals without triggering the front shoulder as a standard bench. And I did notice inner chest post soreness. They also do complete stretching and hamstring release with integrated massage. I'm really getting into this customized workout plan despite the expense. Can't say I've worked out this hard since college. They also pressed undenatured protein which I'm still not sure if I completly believe that most of the protein today is even heated high enough to actually make a clinical difference. Do we have any RD on the board? I suggest trying some prone grip chest work to your workout, I think you'll find it a nice addition to your routine. Also the personal trainer route really helped my form, breathing, execution and 110% effort: highly recommeded if you want to take it up a notch.

prone grip work (with a bit narrower grip) is excellent for triceps i might add, however i might suggest doing it in a smith machine, which i normally dont recommend.

Standard bench basically is a shoulder exercise unfortunately, and barbell bench is the root cause of most shoulder injuries, particularly from the bench/biceps crowd who dont have the back and rear deltoid work to keep their shoulder girdles in place. To really hit the chest well, your bread and butter exercise should be inclined movements, but at about 30 degrees or so. Most fixed benches will be steeper than this. Its about 2 clicks up on an adjustable.

Don't buy your protein from the trainer. I recommend buying the best quality isolate that you feel comfortable affording for post workout, and having a blend of casein/egg/isolate for the rest of the time.

I have my stuff custom made at trueprotein.com, mainly because i know exactly what is going into it, and the ridiculous amount of flavor and sweetener options.

I sort of agree on a trainer, I am positive that i train much better with someone than alone. Just having someone there makes me demand more of myself.
