    Chest Routine-Size

    Right now my chest routine looks like this:

    Bench Press 4x6-8
    Incline Dumbbell 3x10-12
    Weighted Dips 3x8-10
    Incline Flyes 3x10-12

    How can I change it around to add more size. My chest seems to be lagging behind the rest of my body.

    Eat more and rest more. Also lift more, eg. after some warmup sets on your BP try 3 sets of 5 at max weight. When you can hit it raise it 10 lbs the next week and build back up to 3 X 5. And on and on. On alternate weeks try some heavy incline/decline BPs. On your arm day do some serious weight on close grip BPs (both hands completely in on the smooth portion). In my experience heavy weight/low rep gives me both strength and size. Viel Glueck!

    If you have a lagging bodypart, prioritize it; shift your routine around so it is trained first in the training week, after you're well-rested. Train it first on it's day, and if you add a second bodypart to that workout, work it mimimally.

    Use what you consider to be your most effective exercises, and set them up on some form of progression scheme, so that you are challenged each workout to increase either the weight you lift and/or the reps for which you lift it.

    Rest/nutrition has already been covered by the other posters.

    Remember also that you'll only get out of any training what you're willing to put into it.
    No brain, no gain.

    "The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon

    Where the mind goes, the body follows.

    In my opinion this is a fine chest routine. You wanna add size? eat more and lift heavier. But like i always say be smart about both i.e. Dont lift so heavy you hurt yourself and dont eat so much ya get fat.

    I'd lose the flyes and add those sets to each of the others.

    Just a thought...

    try super setting Incline Fly's with Incline DB Press.... fly's first, then go straight into the press..after about 4 sets of that you'll be fried.

    Also dont do the exercises in the same order everytime... if you start with flat press this time and finish with incline press....next time reverse it and do inclines first, flat last.... I wouldnt drop the fly's, they're an important part of an over all good chest routine.
    My current chest routine looks like this:

    Flat DB Press 4 x 8-12
    Incline DB Fly - 4 x 8 (superset with)
    Incline DB Press - 4 x 8
    Cable Fly - 3 x 10
    Chest Dips to exhaustion


    each chest day I mix it up so I dont always start on the same exercise. My incline DB press is swapped for Incline BarBell every other week.
