I have no Chest,I have no Chest

[STEP OFF]

back to topic: if you want mass, you gotta eat! no training method in the world will give you size if you're not eating enough.

but talking strictly training, try switching up your routine. do something radically different (5x5, high reps, westside, whatever), give your chest a shock.

do inclines work better than flat? do dips work better than declines? etc etc etc? doesn't matter, as long as you're working the chest HARD, eating enough, switching up your routine every so often, you should see growth.

food intake is fine as the rest of me is growing and chest is lagging along I just didnt see it because of body hair,but slowly its coming.

also Im deleting this thread if anymore bickering continues

Where did I say that inclines weren't a good movement? I simply said they're like a flat bench with slightly more delt activation and slightly less pec activation (the higher the angle the more shoulder recruitment). If you doubt this, then you need to learn some simple biomechanics.

Dips and decline presses are the number one chest mass builders. Why? Because your pecs' function is to bring the arms not only out but down as well. If you want to talk about experience, then there are several people who agree with me on my points who have 20+ years of experience. So what does that tell you?

Re-evaluate your tone big man. There are ways of saying things to be more respectful.

People always jump on your throat cause of your tone, and you simple have no right to that kind of tone considering you haven't even been training for one year.

Also, I am sure loudin, myself, and others would listen to you and treat you with respect if you did do the same to us. You may have a lot to contribute, which is appreciated, but your tone is unexcusable.

Back to the original post, my three personal favorite exercises for the chest are:

1. barbell inclines
2. dumbbell inclines
3. wider grip dips

Practice what you preach. Your tone wasn't any better, and if you think I'm going to be friendly to someone who has called me a liar before, you need your head examined.

I'm friendly to friendly people.

You, however, posted an indirect reply to his post with negative comments. There is always a way of saying things.

I wasn't replying to louden necessarily. I was replying to everyone who thought incline presses were a magic exercise and that flat benches were ineffective. If you thought THAT post was negative, then you need to seriously lighten up.

Who are you kidding?

I'm done with this thread.

Why do people think incline presses are the magical solution to everything? They're not terribly different from flat presses other than they involve the shoulders more.

I have a simple question, how much do you bench? What is your 5 rep max, for example?

Inclines work your upper chest more.

A person with an impressive usually has a good full upper chest.

I would'nt mess with declines.

3 sets of 6 reps each go heavy slow with strict form, all body parts=once a week.

flat bench and inclines are all I do for chest and I'm not super strong but have a full filled out chest.

Inclines work your upper chest more.

With respect to chest... flat barbell has high activation of BOTH sternal and clavicular pecs (upper and lower).

Incline, by contrast, keeps upper pec activation the same but just drops the lower.
