Flat/Cut Chest
whats up guys,
My question today is regarding my chest. It seems to be getting "bulky" instead of wide and cut.. "flat" meaning wide and not chee-chee looking... I'll try to find a pic of a guy that has the chest I'm aiming for. My workout basically consists of: 3 sets of dumbell flys (on each bench) -incline/decline/flat bench 4 sets of this resistance machine that allows you to have a wide grip to target chest; imagine sitting down operating a machine..pushing your arms foward to move it. 3 sets of a cable exercise which I start with my arms out and bring them down to my sides (the whole time being straight). 3 sets of a cable exercise which I lean foward and pull the ropes out in front of my chest and crossover x# amount of pushups and dips..till fail. The amount of weight being used is mid ranged (i've heard more reps @ light weights tightens/flattens the chest). What do you guys thnk? any suggestions? Sorry about the "description" instead of workout name.. thanks for the input guys.

Hi, excuse me for my english, but i'm italian.
Well, have you ever tryed to introduce barbell bench presses and dips? These are basic exercises that can't be absent in a schedula for chest development. Cèo!

check this out man, try using free weights more often. I really need to stretch the muscle using some dumbells or barbells.
Try this: flat bench: 1 warm up, 3 mid-heavy sets incline: 1 warm up, 3 mid-heavy sets flies: 3 sets or flat bench (dumbells): 1 warm up, 3 mid-heavy sets incline (dumbells): 3 sets dips: 3 sets use those for 4 weeks each and see what works for u, but try using some free weights there too, u need that to built tremendous size and width. Ive built alot of width cause of free weights, before i would do machines and they didnt do jack shit for me.

For me is way too many exercies for chest you not giving the chest muscle enough time to recover. 3 exercies for chest a week is enought. Like flat bench press 5 sets 15,12,10,8,6 reps followed by incline dumbell press 5 sets 12,10,8,6 followed by flat bench flys 4 sets of 8 reps with NO resistance progression in this exercise.

if your chest is simply bulking up, you may find that going through a fat-burning or cutting phase will help give you the look you want. i'm not sure about your diet, but if you're eating big to grow, you may want to spend a week to 10 days doing HIIT and dropping your calories. i'm always surprised how i look after i lose 2-3% bodyfat.
