Solution to Puffy Chest!

[ibs2006]

Many of the users of this forum have problems regarding puffy chest i.e soft sagging lower chest which looks as if it has been filled with air. I also have that problem. I tried many exercises and workouts and finally i have devised something that really works and which can reduce the puffiness to some extent and make the lower chest more rounded and perfect. Although it's tough for most rookies but once you get the hold on it, it will be much easier. Here's the workout:-
1. Close grip pushups with body at an agle of 30-40 degrees:- 3 sets for 20 reps( Do not keep the grip so close that it stimulates the triceps more than the chest. Go really slow in the negatives).
2. Long grip pushups:- 3 sets for 20-25 reps
Remember to lose the puffiness of the lower chest and to tighten the lower pecs you will have to hit them hard and often. That's why i recommend this routine two times a day. I have benifitted a lot and have tightened my lower pecs using this routine. Pushups also improve your endurance and tones your chest muscles. Believe me guys, this really works!

Yep Decline Bench and Dips work but they bulk up your lower chest if u go heavy on them. And pushups tones and strengthens ur pecs thus making them tight. The combination of Decline bench, Dips and Pushups is deadly! It really makes the pecs. The Decline bulks up the the pushups tone. Just give it a try!

and pushups tones

Uhhh... no?

Another firm believer of 'heavy weights= muscle, high reps= toned'. Sigh, couldn't be further from the truth.

Dont want a puffy chest? Lower your BF% and hit the bench hard.

Are yall sure decline bench works lower chest? I tried it last night and it was like it was working my upper chest

[flapjackson]

maybe you were sitting on the decline the wrong way.

exactly.
toning is non-existant bull****.
look at the pro bodybuilders. they have a physique many people would call 'super toned'. do they do high reps with low weight to achieve this? NO.
'toned' is a term wrongly used to mean 'developed'. 'toned' muscles are actually developed muscles. building up the muscle by doing 6-12 reps, and then doing cardio will create muscle 'tone'. there is no specific type of exercise that'll tone you up. a toned look comes from developed muscles and low bodyfat.
doing 20 rep pushups recruits Type I muscle fibres (slow twitch), and growth is not the optimum way for them to respond to exercise. pushups will create some hypertrophy, because Type II muscle fibres (fast-twitch) will be used TO AN EXTENT. pushups may add muscle mass to a noob, but they won't do much for an experienced lifter.

decline bench press and dips will solve this problem and will add a lot more muscle mass in a much shorter space of time than pushups will do.

U guys are really confusing me!!!

Maybe because you're an idiot.

Loss the fat with cardio and a strict diet. Lift heavy. Fill the upper chest, not the lower chest.

[ibs2006]

I am talking abt toning and tightening the lower Chest, not filling it up with mass. I know that bulking up the upper chest is more important. I am not a rookie here, guys. By the way u must be less offensive when posting!

by puffy chest do u mean gyno? no exercises will ever get rid of that. if by puffy u mean fat, then this is a simple matter of losing fat.

I mean to say a lower chest without cuts or contours which sags and in some cases loose and big nipples

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TONING; READ MY GODDAMN POST!!!
you either develop muscle (bulk) or reduce bodyfat (cut). 'toning' is non-existant. look at pro bodybuilders. they have a physique most non-BBers would refer to as 'toned'. do they have specific 'toning' workouts? NO!!! they either bulk or cut.
toning is falsely used to mean muscle gain and fat loss. developing the lower chest by doing dips and declines will cause muscle gain. doing cardio will shed the fat on it. the combination of the two will lead to 'toned' pecs.
