Dumbbell chest presses are great. All about that stretch at the bottom.

I really do man, but it seems to lagg anyway.. i try light weight and heavy.. not feeling a thang :/

Well, it won't come overnight, just stick with the moderate-heavy weight. You'll get it over time. Try dumbbell flyes as well.

Do you have access to Hammer Strength machines? Those are amazing. You should do those if your triceps are limiting you from isolating your chest.

sadly not, i really think it's my triceps who is doing all the work, i really can't isolate my chest

I don't think you can see it on pic.. i you can see the lines, but there is no mass in my chest, thanks bro

Well, damn, you have to have some serious mind muscle connection. Try going slow on the way down, then explode up. Are you sure you're doing good form on chest presses? Really concentrate on hitting your chest.

hmm, i'm trying really hard to feel in my chest, but i only get feels in trcieps or delts.. why the hell do i feel it in my delts anyway? lolz

That's probably why. Pull your shoulder blades back.

Yeah, i'm trying to change stuff and try doing something to feel, lol today i ended up hurting my wrist fml.jpg
do you think it has something to do with that i'm not full grown yet? but that might sound dumb lol

if you are feeling it a lot in your triceps it seems you are possibly holding the bar wrong and putting a good flex on your wrist. The more aligned your wrist is with your forearm (straight down as ur benching) will isolate your chest more . Another decent idea is negatives, they helped in the beginning with size and the routine that worked best for me developing my chest (just started developing and coming in) is work the upper chest!. Also a good thing to try is maybe when you are near the top never fully extend so you still have tension on the muscle and almost all the way down (easier on shoulders) but when ur near top flex your chest and squeeze it each rep.
hope this helps

Lol damn, well yeah try pulling your shoulder blades back, they're probably flared up and out when pressing. And that's a possibility, I believe at around 17-19 your testosterone levels hit its peak then stays there up until about 25(?), I could be wrong but I do believe that's when it's at its peak.

Imagine this while pressing: pushing the weight through your elbows and not the hands. If you loosen the grip slightly and "push through the elbows" and keep your shoulders back, there should be no problem feeling your chest.

Db flies, wide grip bench, incline, decline, and dips

Try sticking with a solid routine instead of trying something new every week because you aren't seeing immediate growth.

[OFocke17]

bench press...Wideeeeeeeeeeeee grip.

I do index fingers on the rings, which basically only uses you're chest.

Do some chest dips too, those are killer.

Maybe not lock out your arms to keep constant pressure on your chest
