I am presently doing incline press as well as decline press for my chest. But my upper chest has not developed sufficiently. Please suggest whether I should stop doing decline press altogether and focus on incline press and pushups with legs on chair?

hi Aly

I have exactly the same problem like you do. i saw your second picture that you posted and I have the same problem too. Would you tell me if the flat bench press you did with wide grip helped you get past the problem?

Thanks!

Wow. You assumed that the workout to gain muscle does not burn calories. Weight training for an hour, in one study, burnt as many calories as running a 6 min mile for an hour. You burn , you get the muscles that burn more just resting, you get stronger, faster, leaner than the counter part that just does cardio. Which way is faster? Which end result is towards your goal?

i am 19 started gym 6 months ago im now working on my abs and pecs after losing 2 stone and gaining alot of muscle im finding the best way to build your upper pecs is flat bench a weight you find very heavy for 2-6 reps each session this will shock your muscles into growth, you should be struggling. im now focusing on lower pecs any questions ask me i kno a fair bit about muscle gain and fat loss but im no expert

Hi rusty,
my chest has already rounded a little in the lower section of my chest near the nipple area could you tell me how to square off this area so it looks more square and even on the inner side of my chest and the outer side closest to my arms?
i work out at home and the equipment i have is a bench press with a barbell and a pair of dumbbells
thank you

Hey rusty, hope you will reply back to me because this question is pretty important. In visual impact muscle building you say to drop flat bench if your upper chest needs work.well I think my upper chest needs work but I can't really tell. but at the same time I have like this gap towards the middle of my chest. So the question is should I do flat bench to maybe make that gap smaller or will the incline bench press help me get that line down the chest

well…when it gets closer to vertical, doesn't it start to work on the deltoids….while you should be concentrating on the pecs..
shouldn't you adjust to 45 degrees or something?

I really appreciate your advice of building chest in different ways. And in different styles.

This might sound stupid but with the incline presses do you have your head higher then your feet so that you arms are pushing more above your head. Or do you have your feet higher so that your arms are pressing more towards your feet? I think it's the first one but I just want to make sure….

Hi,
I want to know that wider grip is more effective in bench press and push ups for making square pecs and muscularity.
Also for push ups which one is better on bar or plain surface.
please tell me.

Great site,

I just want to ask for some advice. I've been in the gym for 4 months my arms are developing fast however I'm having a hard time building my chest, do you have some routine as a beginner for me to build my chest faster? The normal routine I'm doing are Flat bench press, Incline bench press, Dumbbell fly's, Flat Dumbbell press.
