Barbell Atlas Stones and Barbells

[Chrisdavisjr]

I have never really used Dumbbell Flys. I now see value in building the chest and shoulders for crushing strength to bear hug Stones.

I added a few sets of DB Flys to the end of Bench Day. Supersetted with Chest Supported DB High Row.

3 x (8-12)+(10-16)

Not sure if this is something you've tried but the idea of doing 'crush curls' came to mind: Either squeezing a heavy kettlebell between your hands while curling it or even a pair of barbell plates pressed together with the smooth side facing outwards (works best with old-school iron plates or steel powerlifting plates if you have them) to really emphasise that crushing 'bear-hug' strength.
