    Also you HAVE to focus in on your form to add muscle to that chest. Too many bounce the bar

    Try to keep your front delts and triceps out of the movement as much as possible.

    There are two type of benchers those with long arms and those with short arms. People with short arms are able to develop chest much more quickly than those with long arms that really have to focus in on isolating their chest

    Focus in on the muscle more than the weight, contract, use flyes for that stretch!

    I have the longest arms and of course chest development problems. I know it's bad form, do you have any tips you can give me for that? Like how to exactly keep my delts and triceps out of the equation.

    Here's a sample of my workout:

    Incline dumbbell press (alternate with barbell) 3 x 4-6, 6-8, 6-8, 6-8
    Flat DB 3 sets
    Dips 3
    DB Flyes 3

    Is 12 sets too much for chest?

    heck no, I've had success with as much as 19! High volume works for me!
