Tried everything, can't gain anything on chest!

[dunkalicious]

I'm taking aprox. 220g of protein per day. I gained nearly 20lbs, I'm gaining everywhere except on chest. I tried all kind of programs so far that only gave me stretch marks(They occur after single training so I can't mean that my chest is growing). Please give me advice and don't say it's genetics.

Try taking a week off and switching up your routine.

[dunkalicious]

Did that. now(last 1-2months) I'm changing routine every week, every workout is different.

[Bone32]

Then try sticking to a routine lol.

If you are looking to increase your bench you gotta remember that it isn't all chest.

[BaGeL23]

Take a break and then try dumbbell flyes for a while, see if you feel any difference...other than that, hard to say.

The first part of Bone32's post is the bit you need to read.

[schulerdoish]

You might not being enough sets. Try dropping the reps low (I am guessing you are doing high rep right now).

i looked at your photos and your chest looks exactly like it should in proportion to the rest of you

maybe something drastic has happened since april, but most likely your expectations are way off for how big your chest should be

as for a routine

read all the posts in that thread by iron addict

on page two he links to a routine you should do and stick to for more than one week

[Tid0ra]

go read about stories when guys chest dont increase in size but do increase in strength.. its usually because of technique and or doing a good squeeze at the end of each rep.

[wecndo]

decondition it by not training it for like 2 weeks while eating a lot then hit it hard again

volume

Stubborn Chest?
Try something simple instead, at home before going to school or the gym early in the morning as soon as you wake up, start making push-ups, all kind of push-ups, make them slow. At the peak squeeze! Same when you do your thing at the gym, is not the weight, is how much you squeeze at the end of the movement. Remember to lock your back.

lifts? form on bench? most idiots that complain they dont gain any chest muscle is because they're form is so ****ed on bench (bouncing, super fast negatives.. list goes on)

[PumpinPaddy]

im gaining far better on my chest on a pl routine than i ever did with bb routines

im doing 20ish sets of bench / bench variation a week, thats all

[mwcharger]

take a break, and try using dumbbells instead of barbell

[SquatzAndPuke]

**** bench

That's why you're not getting a bigger chest.

[justin94]

try alternating volume each week for chest, it's help tremendously for me. this might not be right for you though. experiment with what works for you


week 1: 10 sets
week 2: 10 sets
week 3: 12 sets
week 4: 14 sets
week 5: 8 sets
week 6: 10 sets
week 7: 12 sets
week 8: 10 sets
