Decline.....how will it shape the chest?

[The Shadow]

Cornholio - appreciate the LOL. You can go on believing that, but can you provide me with the physiological evidence to back your statement up. You'll never find it. It's simply not the way the muscle works. Besides, having gone from small to big 3 times in my life with three completely different training routines, I can confirm through personal experience - you can't change the shape of your muscles, you can just develop them. Period.

ummmmmm.OK

go read When Muscle Meets Magnet........

PROVES via MRI analysis that certain exercises hit a particular area of the taget muscle.....sometimes to the exclusion of the other areas. For example - nose breakers become MUCH more effective when done in a decline position rather than flat.

ANother example - close grip curls work outer head or peak more than wide grip curls.


evidence enough for me....even though it''s a little old.

Besides - common sense tells you that it is possible as well.

I know that my chest will look different if I do nothing but flat benches versus incline dumbells......
