So right away Claude introduced Henri to his famous ``moon'' bench and proceeded to teach him his first Push-Pull Super-Set consisting of the wide grip Straight-Arm Pullover (the ``pull'' part of the Push-Pull Super-Set) which dramatically widens the rib cage and strongly affects the muscles of the upper back and chest, and the collar-to-collar Bench Press which specifically works on the chest to build those wide, Reeves-type ``gladiator'' pecs, while stimulating the upper lats and frontal deltoids.

As you can see, in this Push-Pull Super Set the entire chest back shoulder area is vigorously exercised in alternate sectors by alternate exercises, so the complete torso remains pumped-up all the time!

Now when Henri has completed four complete Push-Pull Super-Sets No. 1, the professor allows him about a five minute rest period before starting him on four complete Push-Pull Super-Sets No. 2.

Super-Set No. 2 is made up of similar exercises, but this time done with dumbbells, and using both ``moon'' and flat benches. The ``push'' exercise of this Push-Pull Super-Set is the Bench Press done with elbows well pulled back and with a greater downward stretch of the pectorals not possible with the barbell variation. You need the barbell variation to build width and mass in the pecs. The dumbbell variation develops a most classically sculptured outline to the pecs.

The ``pull'' exercise in this Super-Set is the one dumbbell Bent-Arm Pullover. (Note how strongly the upper lats and serratus are worked in this fine exercise because of the pin point concentration of force which the dumbbell variation affords).
