well can you descibe your form?
like how far apart are your hand, where you you bring the bar on your torso, do you bounce the weight, are your elbows tucked in or flared out, and anything else you can think of.
if you are looking to add mass more than anything, you may want to consider starting with incline presses, the flat bench, and weighted dips with your torso titled forward. also remember that the weight you are doing is really good, a ton better than the average bear for sure, but the pro bbers you see and people like that are using nearly twice that weight for relative high rep sets, so you may need to get even stronger before you can really grow.

On workouts, the further away your hands are from your body, the more inner body will be worked.... So if you do close grip bench, then your arms will be worked the most... so wider grip on bench or or pullups will do inner body...the core!!!
As for chest.... Try butterflies, or inc or dec press with your hands further apart... cable crossovers.... ya know..
I personally do bench with a wider grip, then do butterflies with cables sometimes for chest. And i gotta tell ya, i got some pretty big manboobs... not bish tits
(i sometimes over exaggerate my movements.- and i have my pecks flexed when im working them)

my grip is wide (well over shoulder width) i bring the bar down to my lower chest
normall chest day would be
flat bench 60kg 1 x 20 reps 120-130 kg 6 reps max x3
inclined 60kg 1 x 20 reps 90kg 6 reps x 3
repeat decline
flys x 3
pec dec x3
iv been reading all the chest articles i can, and it seems all the sugestions for a chest day are less than what im doing, Could it be im doing to much?
Also i have never realy had a big change on chest exercise, im thinking if i give a complete shock to my chest it might get its arse in gear
any ideas/info ill take them ALL on board
thanks for your help

6 is my minimum...if i do 6 then i stay at that weight...if i cant do 6, then i drop weight. if i do more than 8, i up the weight. 3 sets as well. doesnt seem like you are doing anything wrong in what you wrote really. though i dont know why you do a 20 rep set before... perhaps your first set first exercise but not all the way thru your workout..but whatever works (though seems like its not? *smile*) are you using bar or db? Perhaps try going a month or 2 with whatever you arent doing. try slower movements. gl

Your routine is fine, except maybe drop the pec dec unless you feel it adds to your chest. Yes its your genetics, because if you have gotten that strong and yet still your chest is behind, that is saying something. Your chest is still doing most of the work so don't underestimate your routine. Unfortunately that is just the way you are, but keep tryingLast edited by Flexor; 10-30-2005 at 10:40 AM.

neways i would drop the fly type shit and decline and focus on building as big of a flat bench press as possible, then do your incline presses, then do weighted dips.
those 3 are the bread and better compound exercizes that'll make your chest grow or nothing will. if you wanna do decline, i would trade it off with flat bench every 2nd or 3rd time in the gym. some people feel it's a safer movement than flat bench and it allows you to handle more weight as well.Last edited by J.S.N.; 10-30-2005 at 11:24 AM.

I've done weighted dips with 3 45 lb plates on my lap, then dip...
as for chest AGAIN i say try some burnouts. Go until you cant do anymore, then do some more!
Maybe try pinching your nipples before each set too!
