My chest seems to not stick out as much as I'd like it to. I've literally tried everything. I'm just wondering if anyone can suggest a workout for this? maybe it's just my genetics but idk.
wow, are your shoulders cool with this?I blast my chest every day to get it thick lol
Definately would not recommend doing this.. chest is very CNS taxing and working it every day will burn you out. Not to mention you have not allowed it enoughed time to adequetly recover. For your health and safety I would strongly recommend against doing this.Inclined presses will help.

This is terrible advice.Inclined presses will help.

Interesting way to look at it...Definately would not recommend doing this.. chest is very CNS taxing and working it every day will burn you out. Not to mention you have not allowed it enoughed time to adequetly recover. For your health and safety I would strongly recommend against doing this.
For the OP, just remember to increase workout loads to stimulate muscle growth. If, for example, you can bench 80lbs (example only) and you can do 10 reps (equating to 800lbs of work [80x10=800] and then next workout you increase to 100lbs for 5 reps, you are actually perfroming less total work [100x5=500] and so even though the weight is higher, the total work performed is lower, therefore you need to do at least 9 reps [100x9=900] to grow further.
Of course this is only ONE way to promote growth. Increasing intensity (i.e. supersets, forced reps etc.) will also promote growth to a degree. Just remeber to keep progressing.
Well its one way of looking at itInteresting way to look at it...
thanks! I've recently been switching workouts and I've been feeling pretty good. we'll see how it goes.If you have wide shoulders it may be one of the reasons you are lacking chest stick out. Just compare jay cutlers chest to phil heaths. Jay has wide shoulders.
Dumbbell bench should help. Changing up your grip with on bench may also help.
Sick in there tho. Everyone has a body part they struggle to develop. Just got to find the right training routine for it.
You and overuse injuries must be bffsInclined presses will help.

INCLINES..theres your answer..i do 4 exercises for chest and 3 are always incline and at different angles and my routine changes weekly,never the same...plus it comes to genetics,my chest is bulky as hell,yet my arms are not even close to where i like them to be.My chest seems to not stick out as much as I'd like it to.

How many sets do you do for each exercise? Just curious.INCLINES..theres your answer..i do 4 exercises for chest and 3 are always incline and at different angles and my routine changes weekly,never the same...plus it comes to genetics,my chest is bulky as hell,yet my arms are not even close to where i like them to be.
also a pre exhaust routine may work as well..worked wonders for my bro. As well as myself.
My routine today in this order:
-incline 45 degree DB presses
-Incline 30 degree DB flys
-Flat smith machine Bp ( allows me to psh heavier weight when im fatuguing as well as isolates the muscle much better)
-HS Seated incline presses
All depends to be honest.Dwpends my mood and energy levels.. For example yesterdays routine.. ex1 -3 sets...ex2-3 sets...ex3- 4 sets...ex4-4 sets..More often than not 3 sets.How many sets do you do for each exercise? Just curious.
Ah, I do a lot of high volume training, like 5 sets or more per exercise for 4 to 5 exercises usually. Though I've been contemplating doing a lower volume routine due to recurring shoulder problems. I think if I lower sets though I would want to change my workout to a 3 day split or something so that I would hit full body more than once a week since I could do each muscle group in less time like that.All depends to be honest.Dwpends my mood and energy levels..

so doing 5 sets 4-5 exercises,whats your rep range? I honestly feel thats a lot of sets,but everyone reacts diff...For me that seems to long. How is your body reacting to it?

I do high volume too, 4-5 exercises, 16-20 sets. Works for me.so doing 5 sets 4-5 exercises,whats your rep range? I honestly feel thats a lot of sets,but everyone reacts diff...For me that seems to long. How is your body reacting to it? How long you been doing it?
Whats your routine like right now?
well im round 4 exercsies 12-15 sets....some days i feel very pumped and will do 4 sets of everything...But mentally i feel its not necessary,so I stick with 3-4 ,,,3 more often..I do high volume too, 4-5 exercises, 16-20 sets. Works for me.
Reps are usually aimed at something like 15, 10, 8, 5, 3. Sometimes on squats and deadlifts ends up being a little less but I usually do 6 or more sets for those exercises. Except for having some joint issues it's worked great, all of my lifts have gone up since I started doing higher volume. I've been working out like this since about February of this year, with the exception of a month where I deloaded to give myself a rest. Honestly after working out with so many sets I don't even feel like I'm warmed up until the 3rd or 4th set. Working out like this I've increased my squat from 275 to 365, and my deadlift from 275 to about 335 for a reference of strength gain. Keep in mind there was also a halodrol cycle in this timeframe, but before that cycle I could squat 335 and deadlift 315.so doing 5 sets 4-5 exercises,whats your rep range?
