Chest workout...someone please help

[SWOLL UP]

Wuzzup all,

I am really into working my chest. Lately I have been doing nothing but incline bench press because everybody that I know that works out hard-core told me that incline is the best way to shape my chest into the "Cormier" chest. I told my friend that I wanted to do flat bench because I really need to work on my lower pecs but he said that doing inclines works the whole chest and that when the top starts popping out the bottom will pop out with it. Now I am thinking I still want to do flat bench but I was wondering if I do flat bench lowering the bart to the upper part of my chest will that work the top part pretty good? I will do:

Bar down to the lower part of my chest
Bar down to the upper part of my chest
and then raise my bench one or two notches for a slight incline.

U think that would be good to work my chest into a box-looking chest?

Thanks

Incline works upper
Flat works middle area
Decline works lower
Throw in 3 or 4 sets of cable crossovers, and or dumbell flyes, that will work the inner part. Work on a smith machine if you want to isolate one area. Throw in some wide grip bench too to work the outer parts. You can substitute decline bench with sets of dips if you want to mix it up also.

Incline=upper, Flat=middle/whole, decline/LFdips=lower

There is no such thing as inner chest. The muscle runs horizontally, and when flexed, contracts evenly thru-out the entire length.

Smith machine is ok when working alone, but could cause alot of injury.

As far as the way your insertion points are(shape/box-shaped) is almost strictly ginetics, if not entirely.

decline/flat do the samething. Now if you want your chest to be huge. No matter what your friends tell you gotta do. Dips, Flat, and Incline followed by Flys

agreed, i dont even go near decline. I do dips with my elbows flared all the way out and legs out not chest forward and that defines the bottom part of the pec best for me.

Dips and DB flys give me the best pumps,

ok. mass building for the chest in a nutshell.

4 sets bench press, 5-8 reps/set
4 sets incline dumbell press, 5-8 reps/set
4 sets heavy weighted dips, 5-8 reps/set

Pretty much what i do. I also do the pec deck flye for a controlled movement at the end. I moved my bench from 205 to 315 in about 12 weeks doing those 4 exercises all pyramid.

Hye dude-man....so do you recommend doing Db Incline's over incline BB? Or do you switch it up?

Puts less strain on the shoulders i think is why. for me thats why i do it.

[DaGCHILD]

So youo always dp DB incline? never any BB for any incline?

i wouldnt say never. I do hit the BB but not regularly. I do it just every now and then for a little change. worst part is i do it on the smith usually.
