Finding it hard to put size onto my chest

[pwaddy]

Hey guy's, I'm finding it hard to get past my current weight as I'd like to increase my size by around 14lbs, and the only part of my body that I'm currently unhappy with is my chest size. I really enjoy training my chest but it doesn't seem to get bigger for me.

I've tried drop sets, supersets, high and low reps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

i found weigthed dips and heavy presses did the job for me, maybe try going slowly and squeezing the chest then getting a really good strech at the end.

This....weighted dips leaning more forward. I slowed up and concentrated on form, been doing wonders for my chest.

Heavy (6-8reps) Flat BB, (10-12reps) Incline DB, Weighted Dips, Cable Flys, Pullovers. Thats all I do. Make sure your really focusing on your chest and not your triceps or delts during these exercises.

First of all, your chest isn't that lacking imo. But one thing, i enjoy doing is hitting the incline flat bb before any excersize once in a while, and hitting dips in the same day. If your doing the incline correctly, which means exploding out, getting bar over your eyeline and smoothly back down, you should be seeing results here. Maybe even 5x5 it here for a few weeks?

looking good, keep it up.

Thanks for the feedback! The only chest exercises that I normally do range between flat bb and db, incline bb and dumbbell, decline bb and db, same for flyes, then cable cross overs. Chest dips is something I haven't tried so will definitely give it a go. I did some pull overs last chest session but I've found them uncomfortable on my shoulder in the past. I'm not too sure why either as I've never had shoulder problems (touch wood).

Thanks for the feedback to my current physique. Maybe to others I look in proportion and it might just be my own view that my chest isn't big enough. I am happyish with my shape, i'd just like to be a bit bigger thats all.

Thanks again!

Decline barbell bench will work more chest fibers than flat or incline. start doing decline. I never do flat anymore just decline and incline

Thanks mate, i'll give it a go. You seem to have a decent sized chest so i'll take your advice. What decline angle would you suggest? I normally do incline at about 45, so possible the same amount the opposite way?

[dieseldave12]

a lot of flat bb bench hits the front delts more than it does the pectorial area, if you ever get bored with incline or decline try reverse grip on flat bench, it negates the shoulders in the workout by keeping the elbows in

I personally find decline to bring out the best size gains. Definatley hit it heavy and 6/8 reps.

I've tried reverse grip fb before and it does hit it hard. An akward form but once your used to it it seems to work wonders, as well as strengthen tris

Your chest looks in good shape mate.
One thing I'd suggest if you are looking to try something different is maybe concentrate on the negative part of the lift for a few sessions. I find it stretches out my chest and feels like it's really breaking down muscle fibres the slower I focus on lowering the bar.
You'll really feel it the next day.
