Starting weight/height = 119lbs / 5'8"
Current weight/height - 185lbs / 5'8"
Bulking 'til 230lbs or when the Buffalo Bills have a winning season. Whichever comes first.
Step 1) Pick up a weight and a small farm animal.
Step 2) Lift one and eat the other.

If you have mass in your chest (muscle mass not fat mass) you can bounce it.

Mass is part, but you really need to learn how to contract the muscles. If you learn how to make the muscles contract under your own volition, then you can do that with any muscle. Traps, quads, calves, glutes and so on...its all about control.Originally Posted by Molotov!

yea i remember i use to not be able to do it 2 years ago and i thought it was liek crossing your eyes, some people can and some cant.
but from going from a 36 inch chest to a 42 now i can bounce it one by one, just a matter of concentrating to flex one pectorial at a time...then its easy to do.Age 24

Just learned how to do it yesterday like at 1pm, without making any big moves on anything rather than my chest. but i realized my left pec doesnt do as much flexing as my right... Anything u guys recommend for keeping me left pec around the same as my right. Btw i do barbell bench press and i workout at home so i dont have any dumbbells heavy enough to work with
Whatever doesn't kill me will only make me stronger

Here's how.
Okey, if you you've ever bench press or done a wide push-up you know how to flex your chest. The trick is remberber how your chest is flexed. Try clapping your hands together as if you are about to say a prayer. Have your hands out and your elbows separated. Bring your elbows together and out again. This helps you get familiar with your chest. Don't rush. It took me months to finaly do it right and I can only move part of my chest. I can't do it like a pro yet. It takes a lot of practice. Just do exercises that involve you chest as often as possible an you'll be able to do it.Originally Posted by Molotov!
