best way to hit lower chest for growth

[bonez]

yes i realise its one muscle but whats the best way to hit it to get the lower area to grow.

Everybody is gonna tell you declines , for me, regular flat bench works. I have to go really heavy. I do 3 sets of 8 and on the fourth set I add weight and usually only get about four reps (with help). Then after that I add about 50 or 75 pounds and do two slow negatives.

You can make it grow, but you can't change the way it grows.

You kinda answered your own question, bud.

you mean bro.

No, I distinctly said "bud". But you may use the term "bro" if you want.

Agree totally...especially the slow negatives!

Decline presses and flag flies should develop some of the hardness you are looking for there

for overall chest hit the dumbbell flat presses hard and weighted dips. Do each movement with a full stretch (I see SO many guys using dumbells in a half-rep fashion when they allow you to go down to the armpits) and maximum intensity and watch your pecs GROW!

for those who don't believe in upper & lower chest, I've got one name for you ... Franco Columbo ... nuff said.

I have to say that I think Francos upper/lower chest seperation was pretty genetic, just like the peak in Boyer Coes bis and the calf seperation of someone like Roger Stewart. He did the same things most of us do but just had that killer crease between muscle groups...

 

[Robboe]

franco = genetic wonder.

I don't think anybody argues that there is an anatomical separation between the upper and lower chest. The point I and a few other intelligent people here argue is that both parts function as a single unit, cannot be separately targeted short of breaking your neck and severing the innervations, thus for all practical purposes is a single muscle.

I have a huge ass crack in both of my biceps. I didn't do any special training to make one head larger than the other, it just came out that way.
