I want mass in teh chest!!!

[leanmachine22]

I've been training my chest for 6.5 months and by then I think my chest should be bigger. What do you think? Please keep in mid that I only have a bench that can do incline, decline, and flat. My main soul goal is HYPERTROPHY in the chest area. I want it to look beefy lol. Any advice would be great. It sucks that I can't use any supplements because my parents are ignorant of them and don't understand them so I've stopped arguing with them and I just shut the hell up about them. Which gets me really pissed b/c I think creatine could beef up my chest.

Supplements will not make your chest big. Get stronger at bench pressing. If your chest still looks small at 300lbs then go for 400 and so on.

[Irish21]

print out articles about the benefits of supplements and educate them (srs) if u show them that its bad like a lot of the misinformed public thinks than they may change there mind and let u

Any tips on how to induce hypertrophy in my chest?

According to your profile, your 1RM for bench is 170.

If that's true, all I can say is work on your bench. Both flat BB Bench and flat DB bench will help a lot.

170 is weak for bench huh?

cable/dumbell flys are my favorite. I added noticable size to my chest after adding flys to my routine.

oooh, how long did it take for you to see results when u added flys?

Well I guess it's not weak, but for a 1RM on bench? If you want mass in your chest, then yes, 170 X 1 would be a bit weak. Start working that up.

I mean really, the only way to get mass in your chest is to work it hard.

Yes. Double that number then you have a reasonably good bench. Along with that reasonably good bench you'll have a reasonably good chest.

Start with the incline movement and put your best effort into it. also work on increasing all of your lifts.

a stronger muscle is a bigger muscle

No hate but at 134 lbs at 6 months of working out you need to eat more. YOu're not gonna have a huge chest at your weight.

Im kinda of scared to bulk because all the fat just goes straight to my midsection. If I bulked I would just have a big ass pot belly just like my dad.

[relentless10]

BULK NOW! but seriously, go crazy with the protein and eat more calories than you usually do, thats the problem more than likely.

Yeah I get absolutly NO protein except for in meat becuase my parents dont let me use supps and I probably take in about 2500 cals at most a day.

i used to be the same, i was afraid of putting on any fat and it held me back for a long time. eat all you can, your young and at your age you wont put on much fat at all if any if your training hard

[mjwarburton]

Definitely a problem dude. It's hard to build muscle without proper nutrition. You'll be shiz outta luck if you can't eat enough cals and protein to gain size. That's a crappy situation you're in. I would do all I can to sway your parents decision. Do a print lots of research. It will show your parents how dedicated and knowledgeable about supplementation. They should respect it, and at the least let you get some more protein into the diet.

WAIT A MINUTE! So bulking doesn't always mean that u will put on fat? Its possible to have mostly muscle by bulking!?!?!???

[Crazy_Desi]

two things

You don't need supplements, you will get tons of growth just by increasing your calories.

Second, you can bulk without gaining much fat, this is done by eating clean foods, and only increasing your excess calories to about 300.

[SkinnyPanda]

Sorry to say but if you have been working out for 6.5 months (especially if you have been training hypertrohpy for chest) that long, you should look into changing your routine.

And what everybody else said, eat like a beast. Since I started actually eating enough ive been packing on mass AND strength prob because I have more energy to lift now that i have proper nutrition

[taylorgb34life]

creatine is not going to make your chest big, lifting heavy and eating big with lots of sleep will. and do you have gyno???

Yes I've ben having this bull**** since I was 12 I dont even wanna take my shirt off at swimming pools because of it.

[thedrivenone]

Had the same concerns as you, etc. But I suggest you eat and keep checking the scale every monday in the nude(no homo) right when you wake up(before breakfast), and hope you gained .5-.75lb. No less, no more.

You can do that for 16 weeks, with a break then, go ahead, and you'll see yourself...significantly stronger. Strength comes before size, you need to work on strength. Don't worry we all start soemwhere, you start young, if you do things right, etc....in 2-3 years you'll be MUCH bigger, with a HUGE chest. You just have to start somewhere.

[Dentis2]

dumbell flys will help you out alot.

[.Boss]

gyno? :x

not being an ass serious, you got gyno?

and in all seriousness, go buy creatine. They don't have to know it's one teaspoon a day you can hide that easy.

[imsotheman]

dude dont worry about the gyno.. thats just one more reason why you shouldnt worry about doing a cycle or 2 once you turn 21.. i mean shoot you already have the worst case scenario lol..

But on a more serious note.. yoru in the same boat as my friend and Ill tell you the same thing I told him.. yeah eatting clean is great, but when your not buying your own food its hard to do.. with no supplements your best bet is to get all yoru calories.. So just like I told him.. let mcdonalds be yoru friend.. theres nothing wrong with eatting 2 hamburgers no cheese ketchup and pickles if you cant make your goal... and atleast your parents cant stop you from doing that..,. obviously dont be excessive, but its working for him hes gained 4 lbs since hes actually getting all his calories.. and his bf is still the same.. its amazing..

its easy for people to tell you what you need to do without understanding yoru situation.. fortunately when I turned 18 my mom couldnt stop me from taking **** since I was paying for it.. if anything.. hide your creatine under your bed and add it to your water if u can drink in your room.
