Widening chest

[WarriorPL]

Whats the best way to widen your chest?

My partner needs some info...
He is 6'1, 250
Bench is 315x5... incline is 265x5... he never maxes.

Well ... unless he has the genetics of a guy with a "wide" chest, he aint getting one. Just tell him to keep lifting hard and make it grow.

is that it?

I've actually heard .. damnit... pullovers? for the chest? Laying with your back on the bench, where your body forms a T with the bench, the weight goes out over your head and then up (with your arms extended the whole time) to your chest...

I've read this exercise can help expand the ribcage or something, and henceforth, expand the chest... I read this back when I first started training, so I don't know if this is true enough.

I'm pretty sure it is impossible to expand your ribcage with pullovers, and that it is simply a myth perpetuated by Arnold doing them.

Like I said... I didn't know any of the warrant to this... or if the expanding of the rib cage was the reason it would "open up" your chest...

Ahh well... just hit your chest with heavy bench.

I've done that excercise and it hits my inner chest and my abs when i do it. It's an incredible workout.

Doing pullovers to expand your ribcage is not a myth as far as i know. There is muscle in between your ribs that you can make grow i believe- also you can simply stretch out your ribcage. Will take a long time as in a year or so, but it should work.
