Hey guys/gals,
I'm new to this website so I hope this is the right place to post. I need help getting my chest bigger. All of my body is in proportion except for my chest, and that looks wierd. I try real hard to get my chest bigger, but it just isn't happening. At the moment this is my chest workout:
Flat Bench- 145x6 5 sets
Incline Bench- 115x8 3 sets
Incline flyes- 40x8 3 sets
Decline Bench- 135x6 5 sets
Cable Crossovers- 60(ea cable)x12 5 sets
I do this 3 times a week giving myself breaks. I thought that it would be an excellent workout, but its just getting me stronger, not bigger muscle. Any suggestions?

ummm only do that maximum of 2x per week. and make sure to work your other bodyparts too.
and the #1 thing if you're not getting bigger is that you're not eating enoughYour life will never be a straight path.”

Do reps in the 8-10 Range for bigger size and make sure your eating over maintenence. Do something like
4x8 Bench Press (Make sure your working really hard so your like failing on the last reps)
Incline Bench 3x10
Decline Bench 3x10
DB Flys 3x10
Cable Flys 3x10
This is focused on SIZE as opposed to STRENGTH and SIZE which is what your doing right now.

Three times a week is to much you need to rest. I use to do the same thing.
Try this:
Incline brench 6 sets: 6,6,6,10,12,12 reps
Flay bench 6 sets:6,6,6,10,12,12 reps
Decline flyes 2 sets: 12,12 reps
Do this only once a week at the first of the week. If you do this properly you should be sore. Try it a month and see if it doesn't help. It has really helped me to add mass.Don't worry about cables until you get some mass, just focus on the basics for now.
