Need Chest Workout Help!

[Jmk5260]

Hello all,

First off, I recently started lifting and january. I lift 5 days a week usually 2 chest days a week, one light one heavy. My body seems to grow fast and put on good tone pretty quick. So heres some bfore, after photos of front. I will post a different chest flex tomorrow. But hw can I get my chest bigger. I gain alot of strength but cant seem to get big as much as my other body parts do. Help me. View my photos and let me know what s wrong. Thanks!!

Yeah, I would definitely say your chest is lacking relative to the rest of your body. Can you give us an example of what your chest routine looks like? Generally if your chest is lacking, I'd hit it up with incline bench, incline db bench, incline flies and such..

Also, if you are doing low volume, try switching it up to high volume or vice versa. Good luck bro. Your back looks great.

Normally I do pyramid style when it comes to my sets. usually do 4 sets of 10,8,8,6.

I normally do incline DB, Flat BB, Incline Flies with cables and a incline bench, Cables (up and down). Sometimes Decline bench.

this is what i do for my chest

saw huge improvements

first always inclines

inclines barbell - 4x12-15

flat bench - 4x12

dunbell flat bench - 4x12

Dips - 3x15-20

somekind of flies 4x12

it might be alittle over work out, but works very well for me. My chest use to be like yours, but after this, huge improvements.

Your chest isnt bad at all, just alittle unbalanced with other parts of your body.

Nice back and cut btw

i would rep you but don't know how haha

INCLINE PRESS!, either with smith or barbell, followed by flat dumbellpress. The incline press with get your chest thick! if you cant lift a lot of weight on it, that means your chest is under-derveloped and you need to workon that. A few weeks on the incline press on your chest day and you will see a difference in both size and strength...trust me. For you first execise of chest day do incline barbell for 5-6 sets, 12-4 reps...

HOPE THIS HELPS BRO!

Nice routine, high reps??

I think its a nice routine for ya, but he needs to go lower rep ranges so he can go heavier, as we know lower = strength developement.

incline really works for me and so does dumbbell flyes

[javinnn]

i do reps whats right for me

example

on the 10th rep i get tired and by the 12th, 12th would be the only one i can do.



Yea, lower to heavier.

Good luck man!

Hey thanks everyone alot. I will use the information to form a new chest routine. If any more information comes to mind feel free to post it.

Later

My chest was lacking last year, but I have added some pretty good size. I change up my routine every 4 weeks...after 12 weeks, take week off and start up again. Seems to be working out, but patience is key. First 4 weeks builds a base, do 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps..I sometimes do the 12,10,8,8 during this phase. Then get into sets of 5x5's, and then go down to 2,2,2,4,2. Seems to work for me.

Here's what I do on my chest day. It is usually takes 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours, but for my body, its not overtraining. Currently on my 5x5's.

Incline BB Bench 12x135(warm-up), 5x185, 5x195, 5x205, 5x215, 5x225
BB Bench 195x5, 215x5, 225x5, 235x5, 245x5
Cable Flies 60lb x8,8,8
DB Incline 70x8, 75x6, 80x5
DB Bench 95x8, 100x5 100x5
DB Pullover 75x8, 75x8
50 Dips, however many sets I need depending on body

Hope this gives you some ideas. My endurance is built up pretty good, so this was mainly for some ideas.
And the fact that I am bored at work.

for me you've got to blast the chest all over to get the full rounded pumped up look. I do Flat B Press and Cable Crossovers (alternating); Incline B Press and Incline DB Flyes; Decline B Press and Decline DB Flyes; Dips (for chest) and DB Pullovers. 4 sets each, reps range of 10-6. The mind muscle connection is important - focus on the contraction and squeeze of the muscle and watch it grow!
