The 💯 Chest Workout (MOST EFFECTIVE!)
Get ready to feel the burn and see incredible results!
Are you tired of doing the same old chest workouts that don’t give you the results you want? Well, look no further because the 💯 Chest Workout is here to change the game! This intense workout requires all-out effort, but the results are nothing short of amazing if you follow the exercises and protocols shown here.
A Well-Rounded Chest Workout
A solid chest workout should consist of exercises for your upper chest, middle chest, and lower chest. However, that alone doesn’t make this chest workout complete. To truly round out your pecs and achieve a well-rounded chest, you need to focus on the reps that actually count and help you build a bigger chest. And that’s exactly what we do in this workout.
The Key to Full Range of Motion
When performing chest exercises, it’s important to remember that going through a full range of motion doesn’t necessarily mean you’re taking your muscles through their full range of motion. To grow fuller pecs, you need to train with this in mind and include exercises that engage your arms in different planes of motion.
The Effective Rep Range
To maximize your chest workout, you need to train in the effective rep range. When performing a set, ask yourself if you’re taking it to failure or close to failure. It’s usually the final 1 to 3 reps that truly challenge you. It’s at this point, after stressing the muscle enough to tap into the harder-to-reach muscle fibers, that you stimulate muscle protein synthesis and encourage growth.
Taking It Up a Notch
With the 💯 Chest Workout technique shown here, you’ll quickly tap into these growth-inducing muscle fibers. The strategy is simple:
1. Perform a set of the chest exercises shown below until you reach 12 rep failure. Choose a weight that challenges you and causes failure around the 12 rep mark. This is your ignition set.
2. Rest for just 15 seconds as part of a rest/pause technique. As soon as the 15 seconds are up, get back into another set. You’ll notice that the reps become challenging more quickly due to the decreased recovery time.
3. You’re still using the same load, but each rep after the rest/pause increments is considered an effective rep. Each bout should be taken to failure. Accumulate 20 effective reps, even if you’re doing just 1 rep at a time at some point.
If you can’t complete any more reps on your way to 20, that’s okay. Aim to complete all 20 reps the next time you perform this workout.
The 100 Chest Workout
The 💯 Chest Workout consists of the following exercises:
– DB Bench Press: Ignition Set, then 20 Effective Reps as a Rest/Pause
– Cable Crossovers: Ignition Set, then 20 Effective Reps as a Rest/Pause
– DB Thumbs Up Incline Bench Press: Ignition Set, then 20 Effective Reps as a Rest/Pause
– Weighted Dips: Ignition Set, then 10 Effective Reps as a Rest/Pause as a Pause Dip
– Omni Crossovers: Ignition Set, then 15 Effective Reps as a Rest/Pause with each arm in high position
Optional: Static Hold Pushups for 20 reps using a 5-second isometric hold at the bottom of each rep (Rest/Pause)
In total, you’ll complete 100 effective reps in this intense chest workout.
Adjusting for Fatigue
As fatigue sets in during the later chest exercises, you may need to adjust your weights down to ensure you fail around the 12 rep mark. It’s important to listen to your body and make necessary adjustments to maintain the effectiveness of the workout.
Take Your Chest Workouts to the Next Level
The 💯 Chest Workout is just one example of how to apply science to your chest workouts. If you’re ready to put the science back into every workout you do, head to athleanx.com and get started on building a ripped, muscular, athletic body.

What if you lack the equipment to do this workout? I put together the best exercises using bands for getting a BIG chest – https://youtu.be/HY9i5BSC2GQ
We will have 100 triceps? Thanks.
Anyone reckon it be okay to do this workout and the shoulder 100 on the same day or would that be to much?
I thought I was tough, then I tried this work out….guess I'm not as tought as I though 🫏
I want to rid of belly fat can you help me please ?
Im trying to get the most effective chest workouts 💪
بطل ❤
This is phenomenal. But, is this supposed to just take up a full workout or is this supposed to be paired with another body part in the same workout?
Can I use floor press instead bench press ?
In the interest of time and muscle pump and strength, it would appear that doing triceps following chest may not be as effective as doing them a different day when they've had a chance to recover from the intense chest workout? Same fir Shoulders?
Thanks!
Sir i have tendonitis in my right hand what do I do ? Please help me
How much does the order matter? For example my gym only has one cable machine so i wouldn't want to do the crossover, swtich to the bench press and then need to come back later for omni crossover cause it will probably be occupied then.
No Dips for me😂 my triceps busted enough already 😅
Fucking biblical workout. I’d probably tap out after like 5 dips, if I got that far.
I really like these 100 videos. But how would you combine them and put them into a split?
Fucking biblical workout.
Im 45yrs old and trying to get back in shape and want to gain muscle. Do i need to feel muscle soreness the following day to gain muscles? If i don’t feel soreness does it mean im not getting gains?
No bench press?!?!?
So, could you súper set these with the 100 back?
Hi Jeff, Thanks for this informative video!
I have a question regarding the alignment of my breasts. One of my breasts appears to be set further back than the other, resulting in an uneven appearance. Can you offer any advice or suggestions on how to address this issue?
How do you do the dip and focus on the chest instead of the triceps?
What is an alternative to the Omni crossover workout at home? I have cables, door frames, and a floor
So for the ignition set. We want to chops ea weight. Thst will make us fail by the 12th rep?
great video, I appreciate all the effort you put into what you do!
Make a video on kegel exercises for men please. Thank you
Pedantic comment: I've been watching several of these 100 workout videos, and… Jeff, may I suggest something? There is no apostrophe in the plural version of ERs. Ever. You're making it possessive, and it gets super annoying to see it. Use a lowercase s to signify this.
Love this workout. Saves time. However, has anybody seen any results for hypertrophy or strength?
Does anyones shoulders hurt during dips?
Guys, how can i combine all of these "the 100 series" into split training so i can hit every muscle group twice in a week
LOve this workout. I've been doing all of the 100's. Is there a time period that you recommend doing it for? Should you do for a certain period of time and then go away from it for a while?
Can you tell how I can do this with all dumbbells?
Thanks mate! Love your videos❤❤
Thank you for the awesome videos! I love your science-based practicality. I have a few questions:
Is it fair to assume you should not do this for every workout? How do you strike a balance when it comes to that?
Would you say this principle can be applied to most muscle groups to good effect? Or is this most effective in certain types of exercise?
You are a gift to ambitious people without knowledge and time for digging the extra miles into fitness. I just did this training session, it’s a killer work out. Also I only could go to 60 sek instead of 100s for the push ups. Your physique is phenomenal.
Als this in 30-35min!!! No more time wasting at the phone to regenerate. Will only do this type of work out.
I just finished the 100s series for chest all I can say is wow what a pump did I got on my Chest and I also did the whole 100 hell push-ups it took me seven sets to finish 20 reps killer!!
Today is my chest day. I’m going to try out the 100 series on the chest. Let’s see how that works out for me. I’ll let you know if I get a good pump. Hopefully I will.
How do I do a dip exercise for the chest if I don’t have a dip bar? What other ways can I do it?
Best channel,advice and workouts +inspiration! ❤
What if you don’t have a bar machine? How would you do that exercise can you doing with bands?
I need this man to invade my home and force me to do dips.
So what’s an effective rep?
I’ve just started to workout I’m 6 feet 150 .. I was I43 but I’ve Been eating and doing just 200 push up a day for 3 months I was feeling good and seeing results but my right chest is slightly bigger then my left and it is starting to discourage me and having me second guess my workouts.. which were already hard to begin.. I’m not able to do a one hand push up yet .. any pointers on what to do should I just keep going hard with my push ups and the left side will catch up?
I’d like to see a full body A-B-A, Cable focused (resistance eccentric/concentric) 100 series program.
