    Building a bigger chest. reps

    Here is my current routine.

    Flyes: 3sets - 12,10,8
    Dips: 3sets - failure
    Cable crossovers: 3sets - 12,8,6
    Dumbell Pullovers: 3sets - 10,10,10

    Alternative workout

    Dumbell Incline: 4sets - 12,10,8,6
    Dumbell Bench: 4sets - 12,10,8,6
    Decline Bench: 3sets - 10,8,6

    My chest is lagging a bit i feel. I know i need to do more incline to get my upper chest sticking out more. But what other things can i do to really get it to stick out further? Any advice would be great!

    Less might be more for you. Try working 1-2 exercises at 5x3-6 reps instead for a while. If you've been doing the above workout for a while and aren't seeing results, you probably don't respond well to high volume.

    For my chest its all about the weight. Heavy DB Press and Dips ftw. But if you want a bigger upper chest I'd suggest doing incline first. Upper chest used to be my weaknesses but I did incline first for 2 years and now it is my best part of my chest.

    This is my chest routine. Low volume, high intensity

    Flat DB Press 5-8 reps 3 sets (go heavy)
    Incline Machine Press 6-10 reps 3 sets
    Chest Dips 3 sets
    Cable Crossovers 1 triset (high/mid/low) 10-15 reps each height.
    (Got this finishing move from Kelechi Opara, inner chest shredder)

    In 30 minutes your chest will be tired, pumped, widened and aching from the inside out. Enjoy.

    I would try to train chest 2 times/week with bench and inclines somewhere around 3x5 and add like 1 exercise for volume (higher rep range).

    Nevertheless, if you are progressing in weights, your chest will grow no matter what
    If I can help you in any way, send me a message with your thread question or question.

    I wish you all a 2021 filled with growth.
