I used to struggle with chest. I recommend watching this and focus on the techniques used.Originally Posted by zoob25

For chest it is not necessarily how much you lift, but how you lift. Make sure you eat enough too.Many of life's failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

so very true....i am having chest issues myself, but if you eat tons of food, by force feeding...and lift with proper form on your chest days, it will come through slowly but surelyOriginally Posted by Mr. Aries

Food of course like others said. You need calories to grow. Like someone posted the video is great, great advice, also great advice on saying that you need to work the muscle actually focus on it not just worrying about how much you lift. I am also a very extreme ectomorph. My chest is still pretty lacking because I have your typical ecto morph weak inner and bottom chest with the little diamond in the middle lol. You can get it bigger with food and working out but dont expect to get rid of your crappy genetics.
You gotta focus more on bodybuilding and feeling the muscle or being a weight lifter and just pushing weight from point A to B.I'm never waking up again, so I'll never have to find out what you did.
Each day it's harder to pretend.
That your eyes aren't lying as much as your mouth did.
I'd grab your head by your hair and I'd hack it off.
And put it on display at the front of the yard on a stick that's decorated with a little pink bow
and a sign that says "Her friends and family should have taught her more about love."

I would say eat a whole lot and keep the reps low. Work with dumbells

Like the others have said-EAT! See my sig. on getting big.
"Shut up and lift!"
"Eat big to get big."
"Deadlift and grow."
'Train, Eat, Sleep."
"Knowledge is power."
"What does not kill you, will make you stronger."
Ergo sum fortissimus.

Also, for chest, try hitting the pecs at different angles. A typical chest day for me is: Flatbench barbell presses, incline dumbell presses and flat bench flyes.

Different angles on incline and decline, different grips on barbells (wide or neutral), proper form, altering your routine every now and then. And like everybody else said, eat like a walrus (but try to keep it clean if you don't want a lot of extra belly fat)

Larry Scott had the same problem and he used an interesting combination of Dips on V bars and a set of gymnastics rings.Originally Posted by zoob25
