chest
i have hit a plateau with my chest. i am trying to bulk, i do have a good diet and all .i usually do flat bench movements, incline bench movements, and some sort of fly movements now staying between 12 and 6 reps in all except flys are about 10-14 reps. i was wondering if anybody had any chest workouts that really put size on for them?

Personally, I've seen my biggest gains come when I stopped doing barbell bench presses (incline, flat, & decline). I've replaced them with dumbbell presses and have seen unbelievable results. Also, I'd try to keep the rep range a little bit lower...usually I try to use weight that won't allow me to do any more than about 6 or so. Excluding a warmup, 12 reps may be a bit high. Low reps, high weight, and get a spotter if possible...helps to crank out those last two reps. Best of luck bro...

Dumbells are the way to go for great size and mass. Don't forget the cables, I love the burn when I kill my pecs with incline cable crossovers go real slow on the way down. I can feel it just talking about it. Med-high wieght 10-12 range at the end of your workout. To really kill it superset with flat dumbell flyes 8-10.

yeah thanks guys for all the responses i will definatley give it a try. just to respond to usual suspect my incline is a much better lift for me than my regular falt bench. i think it is all the years of playing the line in football and throwing shot put. but thank you all.
