Chest

I workout everyday and i have my own small gym in my house, i take protein and creatine, the problem is everythings getting big other than my stomach and chest. I have these big arms yet thin stomach. Is the a good exercise just for the chest. I have been trying bench but its just making my shoulders larger.

Well, what are you doing for chest exercises?

Flyes work wonders. Try some incline and decline flyes too depending on if you want to work your upper or lower chest respectively. Also try just doing a one arm fly as it is easier to work the chest more directly just doing one arm at a time.

My favorite chest exercise is a pullover, it can be done with a dumbell or a barbell. Lie on your back on a bench, take the weight in both hands and hold it right above your head with your arms extended vertically, then lower it behind your head then pull it back up to the starting position, try to keep your arms straight....oh it hurts so good!

Thanks, ill try out your idea.

also i dont know the name of this one, but lay on your back, take 2 dumbells, start with the dumbells at your shoulders and push them up and together. That one works really well to work out the chest.

^Yea that works great or you can do close grip bench

Don't do decline presses unless you want to get a breast reduction later in life :lol:

Incline presses :thumbsup:

Bench should be #1 on the list. Do flat, incline and/or decline for each workout. Your shoulders will get bigger, but get somebody to watch your form to make sure you're doignt hem properly. Bring it right down to your chest and extend all the way back up.

My chest workouts are usually at least 2 types of bench, then flyes (either dumbell or cable) and then some pullovers or dips, vary it up every now and then but go with bench, it's the king of chest exercises.

What are you talking about? If chicks had boobs half as big as mine they would be happy! Oh, damn thats right, im a guy....shit....

Lol

Brad pitt is supposed to be what most guys want to look like anyway, and I bet he never does decline presses. they are pointless unless you are a bodybuilder or something :loser:

Now theres something to yell out in the gym. "NO MAN! What are you doing? Dont do a decline press!"
Guy: "Why not?"
"Because Brad Pitt doesnt do them"

I know, the guys that are so big they can't wipe their own butts would kick yer arse.

So what's the reason for not doing decline presses? They make your chest too big? Sorry I'm lost on this one.

Yeah, some bodybuilders have found that increasing the muscle volume in your lower chest too much will cause you to get what looks like breasts when fat sets in later in life.

sorry to hijack your thread, but I found our sig's are a perfect match for a global war.

die.


haha, I'm just kiddin' mate.

Nice observation davo. You should put that in quotes right above the animation.

for overall development it is helpful to vary your exercises from week to week, specificaly toward the areas you are most interested in working

Outer Chest- db flies(go low), dips, incline/flat

db/bb bench (lower 3/4 of movement)

Inner Chest- crossovers, narrow grip bech

Lower Chest- decline db/bb/machine press, dips, decline flies(decline pretty much anything), cable flies

Upper Chest - incline db/bb/machine press, incline flies

You can experiment with all of these, but i dont know of any good chest exercises that dont hit your shoulders too

The flies will hit the shoulders less than some of the others.

^Yea that works great or you can do close grip bench

uh... he said his chest, not arms

the closer your grip on the bench, the more tricepts you work out, the more you move your hands out, the more chest

i cant believe no one suggested rearranging his grip... how close are your hands on the bench? try move them out a bit, then there is of course like everyone else said, flies, incline, decline, etc.
