Summary of Key Points from “CHEST DAY WITH BIG MIKE AND BEASTWOOD | A NEW CHAPTER”

Workout & Training Tips

Training is about seven weeks out from Mr. Olympia, focusing on chest day with Quinton and Big Mike.
Workouts begin with a circuit of three exercises to pump blood into the chest.
Follow up with heavier movements such as:
- Incline Smith machine presses (pushing heavy weight)
- Heavy dumbbell presses
Emphasis on exercises that provide a strong chest contraction while avoiding joint or shoulder pain.
Mike assists in perfecting each rep to ensure correct form and positioning.
Use machines like the Prime chest machine with triple drop sets for intensity, adjusting weight placement to target different parts of the chest.
Classic fly exercises are essential, focusing on:
- Peeling shoulders back
- Dropping elbows and turning them in
- Opening palms and pressing out and around
- Keeping chest up throughout the movement
Focus on muscle contraction over simply lifting heavy weights; avoid using momentum or overloading at the expense of form.

Lifestyle & Health Routines

Sleep habits: Going to bed earlier (around 10:30 pm) is encouraged over staying up late (1–2 am) for better recovery and overall wellness.
Recovery techniques include massage therapy using tools like sticks to relieve muscle tension, though this can be painful.
Post-workout nutrition consists of:
- 80 grams of dry oatmeal cooked with English Toffee stevia for flavor
