That first quote was directed towards pineapple devil. He shouldn't worry about such minute things unless he's already big and strong.

BTW, dips are not a "lower chest exercise."

I have the Arnold encyclopedia of body building, And there are 2 ways to do dips...Keeping your body verticle hits the tris, and leaning over a bit, hits the chets....the LOWER part too. If Arnold says so, it must be right....maybe ur doin them wrong...BTW, some people say dips mimmick decline press, maybe they are wrong, but I think it does

I like decline bench with bar and dumbell. Also try some flys on the decline but watch to make sure you don't stress your shoulders. I always get a good pump when hanging from my feet.

decline dumbell presses

flat flyes supersetted with dips

 

[Debaser]

I'm still curious what he benches. I'm willing to bet he lacks mass overall, and he's worried about his lower pecs.

Buddy, before you do 40 sets of lower chest exercises and overtrain yourself into oblivion, maybe you should think about adding 20-30 pounds everywhere and then seeing what your chest looks like.

and Oak "If Arnold says so, it must be right" I hope to god you're being sarcastic. That encyclopedia is useless to anyone that doesn't have pro genetics + tons of gear. Didn't Arnold say things like preacher curls peak the biceps? And flyes are good for the "inner chest"? I'm not going to follow the advice of anyone that spends 3 hours in the gym.

Dips and bench presses are the 2 most productive exercises you can do for your chest. I wouldn't even worry about any other exercises. Dips do not work the "lower chest" they work the entire chest, and is actually more of a compound movement than the bench press.

Actually Debaser, Arnold hated preacher curls, he said Larry Scott tried to get him to do preachers. Arnold tried them for a while, and saw little results, while Larry scott got awesome results..
So, basically, find what works best for you, and do it....

Also, he claimed flat flys puts on mass of the outer pecs..

i dont do EXACTLY what Arnold does, or else id be in the gym for 4 hrs, plus he trained abs for 1 hr by themslevs... Hey, if I was goin for my 6th Olympian title, and I was worried about some 6'4 275 pound Italian (Ferrigno) beating me....id train for 4 hrs too...

Bench press and dips are the best over all chest movements...im not denying that.....

I train each muscle about 1 hr, excpet for legs...which takes about 1.5 hrs...so ya, im in the gym for alittle over 2 hrs....

i would just increase the overall mass in your chest then cut

you said you ran a low carb diet w/ 30 min of cardio maybe you need to switch it up a bit..

focus keeping TOTAL CALS low and protien high
try sprints instead of cardio..
maybe try a different lifting routine.. some say high volume routines will help you get ripped (works for some not for others)

just keep at it bro

 

[skaman607]

Do you already bench 300-400 pounds for reps? If you get there, whaddya know, I'll bet your chest will get a lot bigger.

um...i can bench 315 for reps.....i dont do any lower chest excersizes except for dips, and my lower chest sticks out...
Whats ur point? [/B][/QUOTE]


you just proved it, he said to increase your bench and your lower chest will stick out, and you just showed that it worked

You'd have to have a nice cycle and amazing recovery ability or you wouldn't be training that way long.

 

[b fold the truth]

I need more definition in my lower pecs but nothing seems to work.

you know that I am gonna suggest building a bigger chest all over....right?

I did used to feel it a lot when I did wide grip dips though, elbows wide and out.
