I don't know why I can't get my chest to thicken. I used to train it twice a week with back. Now I train it once a week with this routine.

4 sets barbell incline 10,6,6,4 drop
3 sets DB incline 6,6,6
3 sets Incline Flies 6-8
4 sets Flat barbell 10,6,6,4 drop
3 sets Flat flies 6-8
3 sets Dips to failure
3 sets Cable crosses 6-8
3 sets Barbell pullovers 6-8

Any suggestions?

that's overtraining to the 10th power. 3-4 exercises is enough man. ****, how long does that take you?

Your kidding right? 26 sets for chest?! Listen to Beelz, you are over training like crazy. Man what is the rest of your routine like? If its anything like this then you must weigh about 165lbs, if that. For chest you only need about 5-7 sets.

Overtraining again?! It takes me about 1 hour. I sense another split/routine change.

[handzilla]

Well I'm hovering just above 170 now.

[Beelzebub]

jesus christ, 1 hour for all that. that's damn near doing cardio

[handzilla]

Well any recommendations on adding some inches?

[jminis]

That's too much for the chest unless your Arnold.
Some tips:
Hit the chest from every angle, decline, incline, flat then end the chest routine with a fly movement. Just don't do so many sets. Maybe 15total
Shoot for 8-12 rep range
Slow the tempo down to something like 2:2 or the like. The negative is where growth is at

LOL Bump to increasing the negative and decreasing the volume.

[glenihan]

decrease sets 4-6 reps per set HEAVY ASS WEIGHT

[handzilla]

Is once a week good though?

[LCSULLA]

Is once a week good though?

Yes, even gear and A+ genetic BBr's only do once a week. Some people even do once every 9 days.

[LCSULLA]

If it was me, I would take two weeks off and eat clean, then start over again with a better routine.

[handzilla]

Well I just started back a few weeks ago and am 1 week into a PS/PH bulk.

[CROWLER]

EAT EAT EAT

To gain in the chest you need more calories.

I would suggest you pic 2 of those exercises and do 2 WORK sets on each one.

Actually I think you would do better with less but I really don't think you will listen to that

Bingo Crowler. Will he listen? Most don't, they think "Well Arnold trained like this so..." Again you could be drasticlly overtrained in a matter of two weeks (even with PH's). So I would take two weeks off a start again
