Very weird chest situation.. take a look guys...
Hey,
I work my chest out once a week. The days after 1 work out im sore as ****er. I also get a nice pump on chest day as well. My question is my chest wont seem to actually grow! Its sore, but doesnt seem to grow, its gets a little bigger, but how long should it take? Ive been working out for about a year now. Im 6'1 200 pounds. My arms, shoulders, back etc all are fine except my chest,wtf?
please help

Have you tried pre-exhausting you're chest with an isolation exercise and then do you're bench routine?

If I were you just keep with some really heavy movements on the benchpress and incline. Then every couple of weeks do the incline before you do regular benching, otherwise i dont know what else to say.

Pre-exhaustion works for some but everyones different. Read the thread above this one on chest routines. Dorian has a routine that could help sprout some growth for you're chest. It sounds like it would be a killer.

I remember reading an article by Vince Taylor a few years ago where he said he had the same prob as you, what he did was do 4 sets of incline flyes, then 4 sets of normal flyes and THEN go onto the pressing movements, his chest grew to be one of the best in bodybuilding, i tried the same workout and am still getting great gains, so if it worked for vince, and it worked for me, I KNOW its gonna work for you, cause i had the same prob bro, now i can see separation between my chest even seperation from my lower pec muscle to my upper pec muscle, go crank the intensity!!!

jack i think your problem is you might be working your chest too much. try different routines. maybe use more weight with less volume. if you get very sore then this is not good because you are either tearing down your muscles too musch and/or not getting enough nutrients to repair them

You know u could be righht. I m in college now and try to get as much food as possible, but nutrients could be a little problem. What do you suggest?? BTW i get good pumps in the gym, i think its a healthy sore, so is soreness still the prob??

I don't know why nobody has said this, but how much do you bench? If you want your chest to grow you need to lift weight that actually makes your chest want to grow.

Having some meat on your bones would help... eat, lift, repeat.

It doesn't matter how much weight you can bench. I had no chest at all but I could bench 325 5 times. Mine didn't start growing until I started doing lower weight with one set of 10 "perfect" reps. 5 seconds going down and 5 seconds going up.

I have the opposite problem. My chest is huge, but my arms are lacking. If you want to get a bigger chest, do some lower weights and higher reps, then after 3 weeks or so, go to 10-8-6 of heavy weight. If you can't get 8 or 6, don't worry, keep the weight heavy. Your chest will grow like you wouldn't believe.Originally Posted by Jacktheripper

Try hitting chest twice a week, the first workout do your lifts 3x8, the second workout of the week 8x3.
Been working really well for me, and I had man titties 6 months ago.
