    thanks, yea my chest is O.K, and through shirts it looks pretty awesome. But, for the time i have been lifting, the effort i have put in, and the strength of my chest, I feel I am nowhere near where i could be (with my chest)

    i feel the same way about my biceps man. tri's are pretty good, but the biceps just want jump up there. let us know what you decide; i'm curious to see which direction you go. it can be frustrating at times.

    My new workout will prolly go in this order

    incline
    decline
    flat

    the decline will be with cables on the floor and with dumbbells

    I may even add in some weighted dips, but that means i would have to do tri's with chest so im still not sure.

    Good luck with the bi's oldschoolfitness, luckly My biceps are pretty big. I one time put an inch on them in a month just by eating a couple burgers a week from chillies hahaha, of course not all of it was pure muscle, but it was still pretty cool

    My Routine is as follows. My chest is one of my strong points. Your workout has too many reps in it for growth. Your routine must be heavy, heavy and then some more heavy to grow.

    Mondays: Chest & Abs
    Incline Dumbbells: 3 sets of 10 x 80lb ,8 x 105lb ,6 x 130lb
    Flat Bench Press 3 sets of 10 x 175, 8 x 225, 6 x 315
    Dumbbell Flys or Cable Flys 3 sets of 10 x 10, 8 x 13, 6 x 15 (not sure what the settings represent)
    Weighted Dips or Decline Press 3 sets of 10 x 25lb, 8 x 45lb, 6 x 90lb

    Now with each and every exercise you train it must be done to complete failure. You must have a spot to do this. On the last set of the movement call over a spotter and tell him that you will go to failure and need assistance with the final few. This will insure that you are training to failure. This is what creates the growth your looking for. You must go heavy and force pain. Good luck.
