Hey guys I have been on my first bulk for over six months now and my chest pretty much has not grown at all. Idk what is wrong I have tried many different exercises and I eat 3500-4000 calories every day with the best protein sources and get plenty of rest and still nothing. I want to start my cut but I've been staying on the bulk in hopes that my chest will grow. The only thing I can think of why my muscles won't grow is that the first about four months I had 2 hour workouts j maybe that had something to do with it but now I just do one hour n for chest I do incline dumbbell press and flyes flat barbell bench and decline dumbbell n thinking about adding push ups to failure. Please help I am getting very discouraged any opinions are greatly appreciated.

sorry I should have been more clear that's the workout I'm doing now it takes me a half hour then I do triceps n abs that puts me at the gym for an hour. Previously I did 6 or more chest exercises along with back and shoulders on the same day putting me at two hours but about a month or so ago I changed it all up and I do a half hour of chest with the previously stated workouts and I do Luke a pyramid of 10 8 6 reps increasing weight on each

To get a big chest, you need to bench a lot of reps. This will increase the amounts of blood going to your capillaries in your muscle. And like the guy above me said, little to no resting time. If you wait too long you'll lose your pump and then no gains. Finish up with heavy flies for 8 reps 4 sets. try it and tell me what you get.

so I already do 10 8 6 reps increasing weight on each one do you recommend doing like 12-15 w lighter weight but as heavy as it can be for that many reps? Or keep doing what I'm doing or 8-10 reps as heavy as I can w a fourth set maybe? And flyesi usually don't go too heavy to not injure my shoulders and I do triceps push downs a lot ha

I would shy away from the bench press for now since it's very hard to get a good squeeze and a stretch due to the lack of size. Not to mention, most people do not know how to bench. I would suggest you go over to the dumbbells and do chest presses with those instead. They have a greater range of motion giving you a better stretch, and a better contraction at the top giving you more of a squeeze to really isolate those pecs. Another thing would be dips with a slight forward lean as well as dumbbell chest flyes or cable flyes. It'd be a lot better to use dumbbells in my opinion.
