Inner Chest

[Abbaddon]

Narrow grip = more trice involvement, not inner chest involvement.

It's genetic.

Tough shit.

I actually have the same thing - nothing will close the gap, just make it less apparent by building the whole chest.

Oh, and squat and deadlift you pussy!

Hey kid you know I would think that everyone getting on your case about working your legs would get to you by now and you wouldnt be so worried about your upper body.

Let me put it to you this way there are a few of us that really ride you hard about not doing legs. Most of us have been lifting since you were shitting yourself. I would hope that you would actually take some of this as advice and do it.

My contribution to your question is your 16 it doesnt happen overnight and start squating and deadlifting.

A few people on this board (Cackerot69 and Robboe especially) seem to argue all day long that there is NO WAY to put more emphasis different heads or parts of a muscle group with different exercises. I mean I will agree with you guys 100% that you cannot ISOLATE a certain part of a muscle group. I definitely believe that you can put more stress on different areas in a muscle group with different exercises, while still working the entire muscle group.

How was it possible for me to never do an incline movement and 3 MONTHS and I do mean 90 DAYS after starting every chest workout with incline barbell presses, my upper chest grew to surpass my lower chest. Theyre symetric now but for a while my upper chest was thick as well and my lower chest suffered a bit.

You cannot tell me that when you do incline dumbbell presses you dont feel it more in your upper pecs and when you do decline dumbbell presses you dont feel it more in your lower pecs. How could bodybuilders for decades train their weak points with specific exercises to correct their weak points if thats impossible to do??

I am not trying to start an argument at all you both know your shit I have seen your posts on here but I just dont believe that.

Sorry guys but I am positive about this and I'll back it up as soon as I find the info I read on it. I'll repeat, you can not isloate the inner or outter chest. Upper and lower yes. Incline press, flat, decline are isolating(so to speak) the upper or lower........... but pec flys, close grip bench presses are not isolating inner vs outter. Think about the movement it is impossible.

This is not from one of those dumb special report/ MuscleTech Ads this is a real article.

The Top Ten Dumbest, Most Idiotic Things I've Ever Heard Come Out Of Bodybulders' Mouths.

#6. "I use close grip benches for my inner chest and wide grip benches for my outer chest," "Does this mean that if we did nothing but close grip benches that we would have big lumps on our inner chest? If people really thought about this statement, they would realize that muscle growth dosen't work that way. A muscle contractsequally from both ends. If it didn't a contracted bicep would look very strange, and I think you would have a tough time moving around.
I'm not saying that you can never work different parts of a muscle. MRI Imaging has shown that different heads of a multi-head muscle can be stressed differently through different excerises. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN WORK UPPER PECS VS. LOWER PECS. BUT INNER VS. OUTER? NO WAY!"

So really think about the movement it is virtually impossible. Like I said this is a legitamate article, not one of those fake MuscleMag articles.

Some of you guys need to stop listening to your high school gym teacher and do some thinking on your own. Close grip benches working the inner chest more vs wide working the outer more, that is total bullshit. close grip benches may involve more tricep but not more inner chest.

inner chest- medium grip bench press, dumbell flyes
outer chest- wide grip bench press
upper pec- incline bench
lower pec- decline bench
make ur chest workout hit all 4 of these
like for instance
3 sets wide grip bench press
2 sets medium grip bench press
3 sets incline bench
3 sets decline bench
2-3 sets decline
also upping the mass of ur inner chest will only make it look more like boobs but it actually looks good.

Wow, thanks a lot, i do decline, incline and wide grip ive never done the medium grip, maybe thats the problem thanks a lot everyone for you'r great replies!

Lie on your back, put an egg on the middle of your sternum, hold your hands out in front of you and crack the egg, good inner chest exercise.
