Inner chest
I am having a horrible time improving my inner chest. I can't for the life of me get my chest to bridge my collar bone. My chest looks boney and not very well developed. I can't get my inner and upper chest to make improvements. I believe that I was overtraining. Here's my info... any ideas? (Rowland?)
150lbs 5'8" bodyfat around 8% probably 6k calories a day, 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. It is impossible for me to gain weight. I have cycled and I have not gained a pound.
old split
chest - incline, flat, decline all 3 sets, 6-10 reps
off
back - traps, deadlifts, lat pulldown(drop set), rows, reverse flyes (whatever they're called)
off
shoulders - raises, press, rotator cuff
arms - hammer curls, preacher, palm down (reverse curls?), tricep pushdown, dips, tricep extension, forearms
legs - squats, extension, calves (2 exercises), lunges
off
Repeat from beginning
New Routine
back and chest - pull ups (10-12 reps/ 3 sets), lat pulldown, deadlift, wide grip rows; incline press db, flat or decline press bb, flyes (6 sets, 12 reps)
off
arms - hammer, preacher, limited range of motion curl, forearms; overhead tricep extension, close grip press, dips
off
legs - squats (8-12 reps/ 4 sets), leg extension with toes pointed in, lying leg curl, calves (2 exercises, 8-12 reps, 4 sets), running
off
shoulders - felt like they were being overtrained and I was getting pains in my shoulders so I started working them occasionally. 3 exercises 8-12 reps
I think that's it... I have made many improvements by working out with less sets. My chest has made many improvements, but not the middle or upper part of my chest. help please. I want to build bigger triceps, better peaked biceps, inner and upper chest, bigger legs, and i want to improve my x-frame

Give chest its own day. So you can put everything into it. 12-15 sets including warm up sets.
Flat bb bench: 5 sets 8-10 reps - heavy! get spotter if you can.
incline dumbbell: 4 sets 8-10 reps - heavy! by time your done with these you wont have energy for dips
Wide grip dips: 4 sets to failure, you will have massive pump by the end.
give that a shot for like 4-6 weeks and see if it helps.
workout split:
chest/triceps
shoulders/ abs
back/biceps
legs/abs

squats for the legs are good man, but make sure you are pushing yourself hard but with good form. got to toe the line... heavy as possible. also add in 4 sets of heavy dumbbell lunges after your squats. youll be crying

also remember genetics can be a bitch. work your ass off for sure but realize your limitations. For me for example Ill never have that full looking chest. i have big space in the middle. So my chest keeps getting bigger and bigger but never fills the middle. you cant correct how the muscle attaches to the bone.
