making your chest stand up more

i have seen somewhere that if people want to add some shape to there chest that they can do a certain # of pushups each night for so long and it will help along with a nice chest day during the week, can anyone verify this and help me
 
making your chest stand up...that's hard to picture, but I think you mean making it look more square up top. Just focus on incline bench...its wayyyyy more valuable to a body builder than flat bench.

Use dumbells...those will thicken you up nicely.

Never heard about supllemental pushups making your chest stand up. Prolly good idea though for active recovery. You might wanna try the training board, there are some SERIOUS experts on there...

hope that helps
 
what works for me is going as deep as i can on movements and keeping ggod form.....no powerlifting
 
If you have a weak bodypart... a technique that I have used is to do 100 reps every evening with a fairly ligt weight... (3 sets of 33 or 4 sets of 25) to hit the body part. If you do this 5 times a week... you should see some improvement. I used this method for my shoulders and I got decent results.
 
yes, stretching with every movement has done me wonders, but I am currently in a phase where I am needing to expand my rib cage for good side chest pose and and front lat spread, know what I mean.
seems as if its starting to work in no time at all too.

You use a very light weight... for instance... I just used 15lbs for side laterals and would do 50 before my AM shower and 50 before my PM shower.
 
Damn jc, i need your routine, diet, cycle history......thats the figure im looking for now.....good work.
DB pullovers and incline bench cable flyes have helped with my middle upper chest.....the hardest part to work. That will give a nice lift on your chest, makes you look like you have body armor on.
 
i just thought i heard that doing push ups each night can make ur chest more round, is that not true, and if it is, how many should i do each night
 
hey bro

a good way to shape the chest is the upper region by your colar bone their are more red fibers and better for growing out and thats were you get most of your stryrations from.


the best exercise is inclined bumd bell press the trick is to arch your back making your chest stick out and make your arms wide kinda like a stright line then push and at the top squeez as hard as you can and make sure you are real slow on the way down.

this helped me put a ton of mass on my chest.Iearned it from a pro and he swears by this and so do I

I get comments/asked about my chest all the time... its definitely freaky. My advice... always start your chest workout with incline press. Dumbells preferably.

Absolutely agree. My chest was a weak point compared to my traps/shoulders which were always huge (for me). I was not doing enough incline. I got my chest where it needed to be through heavy incline movements. I now do mainly incline. Flat just gets the shoulders too much. Especially barbell. Start with incline bb or db every workout. I do 3 chest exercises, and atleast 2 of them, sometimes all three are inclines.
 
What do you guys think of pre-exhausting the pecs first with an isolation excersize in order to bring it up if lagging?

Something like:
incline flyes
incline d-bell presses
dips

Pre-exhaust doesn't work for me. For me: more weight = more size. So, I want all energy into heavy lifts. I do the Dorian type workout with 4-6 sets per bodypart, all of them 6-12 rep range, with constant emphasis on increasing weight. For those that do more sets, pre-exhaust might work.
 
What rep range to you guys feel is best for adding size to chest?

Chest Workout #1:

Incline Barbell or Incline Smith Machine 2 sets 6- 10 reps
Flat dumbell press 2 sets 6-10 reps
Incline dumbell flyes 1-2 sets 6-10 reps
Cable crossovers 1 set 6-10 reps

Chest Workout #2

Incline dumbell press 2 sets 6-10 reps
Incline Machine (can't think of the name of it) 2 sets 6-10reps
Incline dumbell flyes 2 sets 6-10 reps

Nothing complicated. Work each bodypart once per week, plenty of rest between sets and an all out focus on putting more weight up than the last time.
 
For a thick chest, nothing puts the thickness on like Incline DB presses. For thickness I like to use more of a powerlifter form i.e. dumbells close in to chest. Can handle more weight, and doesn't screw with my shoulders. Once the thickness is good, will change up to a Bodybuilder form i.e. dumbells out wide.

People aren't really fond of upright rows, but they help with pec/delt seperation.
 
I like upright rows but use them for traps/shoulders. I really like dumbells. Does anybody see a problem with this routine:

Flat Dumbell Press: 5 sets; 6-8 reps + dropset
Incline Dumbell Press: 4 sets; 6-8 reps
Inclind Barbell Press: 4 sets; 8-10 reps
Incline Dumbell Flyes: 4 sets; 8-10 reps
Flat Dumbell Flyes: 4 sets 6-8 reps

I do this once every 5-6 days BTW.
 
Wow, I haven't seen this much misinformation in a single thread in a long time.
 
i still dont like the 100 rep thing....i think your body could handle it every third day. the whole point of training is to break down the muscle so it comes back better. now if u train the a body part everyday, even light, does that sound like the muscle will regenerate itelf.

i always start out with incline 80% of the time........i like the pre exhaust, but only once a month
 
heres what my chest workout looked like today, i do this monday and thursday, only when im juiceing it cause i know i can handle it

INCLINE BENCH BAR 10,10,8,8,6,6 135,185,205,215,220,220
