No chest

[huskie2020]

he bros iv been working out my chest once aweek for 3 or 4 years and still have no chest at all is there anything i could do differntly?should i start working the chest twice a week like arms?I JUST DONT GET IT

[megaman85]

what does your chest routine consist of?? I feel like im in the same boat, i always see progress, but it hasnt popped out like i want it as of yet. I think that the chest takes the longest to fully develop and mature, arms, shoulders etc mature faster IMO.

heres my routine for
6 weeks then change routine
inclined bench-set 1-130-set 2-150-set 3-180-set 4-200
flat bench same as inclined
dumbell flys-i stay at 40lbs for 4 sets

[megaman85]

id increase your weights up IMO. I worked out for a year straight and my chest never grew. started training with a guy that told me to increase my weights, bc i was lifting way too light. I wasnt confident with myself and didnt think i could do it. i was inclining the 60's at most before i started training with him. After 2 weeks i was lifting the 85lb dumbells on inclines for reps. I could have a long time ago also, just didnt have the confidence.

Id throw something else in there also bro, like some hammer strength chest movements, or some declines also. Just something else to trick the muscle and hit a different part of it.

Looks like Mega covered this 4 u above... Work the dumbbells and get a good spotter. You'll be surprised by how much u can lift.

How many reps are you doing

[DBOY]

BUMP MEGA, definately drops your down to 5-7 per set personaly.when i got done with my surgery, i was benching 120, 6 monthes i was at my previous max 190. and that was doing 5x5 strenth training. good luck

[huskie2020]

i try to get ten reps each set i do.

to shock your chest, every other chest workout do all your fly movements first to pre-exhaust then do your pressing movements after. you wont be as strong on your presses so throw your ego out the window but your chest will be major pumped and next day sore guaranteed.
try 12-15 total sets
reps 6-10
try training chest once every 5 days or so and see how your body responds

[ssti]

heavy incline db
weighted dips make sure to lean foward
heavy smith incline

[zidane9979]

For looks and not power the recommend Incline First, then flat then decline. When I do this I go Incline Straight Bar, Flat Bench DB's , Decline DB's, GO heavy and go to failure.....

[badstone]

Bro I do no less than 25 sets of chest on chest day. What really makes the chest pop out is flat bench. Once you get your chest popped out then go to dumbbells, cables, stuff like that. You need to use heavier weight to shock it. Negatives work great for this. To get a base on any body part you need the basic push pull movements with heavier weights. If you are not squatting, dead-lifting, and benching then you are not going to get the full potential of your body. Now for us older guys who have been at this for a while this advise is not for you. You know what to do to make your bodies grow. This is for the guy who is kinda new and is trying to get a good base going.

holy shit guys 25 sets you guys r going to kill me lol. ill give it a try buti dont think i can go heavy for 25 sets.

[benjih36]

I'd do a heavy flat bench first. do 3-4 sets of 4 go as heavy as you can handle to get 4. Then hit Incline do the same, then flat DB, DB incline, and finish with flys but for flys do sets of 8-12 reps. My chest exploded when I started doing this. One time a week. ( You can throw in Decline too but I dont because it irritates an old old shoulder injury, if you do drop the DB flat.) take 1-2 min rest inbetween sets.

[benjih36]

bump badstone. Heavy negatives on a smith machine or if you got a spotter regular flat bench. I do havy negatives for a shock workout. love them

I have been doing this also for about the last 6-7 months. I have noticed a huge difference. also I do a couple of sets of pause's in my routine heavy weight about 275 for 8-10 reps pause for 5 sec my last set is to faliure high reps 135 for 50 or 185 for 30 this way you are hitting both type's of muscle fiber slow and fast twitch

[huskie2020]

thanks for all ur help guys.ill give it a try.

[Phosman40]

I say for the best chest workout ever, just watch Cookiedoughs bouncy breast video. Work the dumbbells and get a good spotter shes got the whole chest routine down pat. LOL

Bump bad on the heavy stuff on bench, squats and deadlifts. Negatives will make you stronger. If you are hitting your body with the heavy weights from these three major lifts, your body will be in kind of a shock where it just tells itself to grow to protect itself. You will get stronger overall as well as overall growth. Most big guys have gone thru this phase. Get your diet in line and plenty of sleep and you will be amazed at the results. Good luck bro.
