  • My Chest Sucks

    I can't stand all of my school mates making fun of my girly chest in the shower anymore. :hmm:

    Now that I got that out of the way. :P Seriously, my chest is non existent. I am 180lbs (need to cut to 170) and my max bench is 225 right now. My shoulders are large, so is my back. I guess I have the body setup where I can lift the weight but it sure does not look like it. I have tried almost every possible thing I have read on here about chest workouts. Decline doesn't do anything, incline does nothing, flat is the same. Cable work did very little, more than benching did at least. Using DB for benching did nothing for me either. Tried narrow grip BB, which worked better than wide or a standard grip on the bench as well.

    Tried everything I could that said how to remove your shoulders from doing the lifting and they still take over. My traps and shoulders just love to become huge, my pecs not so much. At first I thought maybe my form was wrong. Had a couple people from the gym watch me, then had one of the trainers do it as well. They did not see anything wrong, I take the lift slow, flex at the peak. Tried flexing harder at the peak. :D Still not seeing anything in size. I now flex all the way through the lift. I have been on the forum for quite some time, don't post much but I have read everything that comes through.

    The only thing that works is using a fly machine. But I can not see continued growth coming from doing the same workout over and over again.

    Everything on me is proportional except my pecs. I rep 400lbs on squat, calf is proportional to the rest of my legs, arms are right for shoulders and back.

    For my eating habits, I have my brown rice, greens, chicken and what not. I have it based of the post for a basic clean eating. I don't eat junk food, drink a coke once or twice a week with water for everything else. On that same note, I am not gaining weight but my lifting weight does go up. I really don't want to gain anymore weight. I just want some pecs to be proud of. I don't need my back and shoulders to mass anymore. If the growth pattern continues my shoulders will be hugeomungus in 5 months and my pecs will still look like a 10 year old boy.

    Did I cover everything for questioning?

    Cliff Notes: I eat clean, I do not take Supps. Shoulders take over everything I do. Fly machines are the only thing that works.

      I have thought of that. But I keep telling myself thats not why.


      I also have the people in the background telling me to cycle on some gear. And in no way shape or form will I go that route. Not when the job I want revolves around having a perfectly clean background.

        eat more, train harder. no need for gear, try changing your routine. or just take some time off.

            everybody has a body part that dosent grow like the others. Markus Ruhl had no triceps, Ronnie had bad abs, Flex had bad calves ect..

            for me its calves. they are better then "normal" people calves but they definitly dont grow like my quads, chest, delts, ect..

            i have to train them twice as hard. same for you, train it hard and heavy with good form. if your desperate inject synthol. :D

              I am 22. Cardio 4 days a week. Lift M/W/F, Chest/ Shoulders and Tri on Mon, Legs Wed, Back/Bicep/Traps(again) on Fri.


              I did pec work again today with my legs. Mostly Flys as they work them the most. I am tempted to try doing my pecs each time I am in the gym. See if that is the boost they need. I know 1 day a week is what its supposed to be. But maybe 3 times a week is whats needed. :dunno:

                    nah, training your pecs every time will do nothing. need to hit it hard, quick, and heavy.

                        funny but i am being serous. over training your pecs will get you the opposite response you want.

                          Agreed with whats being said so far. My old roomate is a hardgainer, but he is super strong. He finally got to the point where his gaining everywhere but his chest. Problem is he trains chest during EVERY workout! He even throws in a few sets of bench at the end of leg day. I tell him he's an idiot and he needs to just hit it hard as hell once a week but he is hard headed and he won't listen. I really think if he went to a split where he did every muscle group seperately his chest would grow.

                          Anyway, as far as it not being caused by genetics, you might want to re think that. everyone is different bro. personally, i have a big chest, shoulders, and a fairly large back, but my arms are long and aren't very big. I work em hard as hell and im finally getting to the point where if I have a massive pump, they are almost proportional to my chest and shoulders. i'm only 21 so im not too concerned about it. im sure when i get into my late 20s and early 30s itll fix itself. anyway, good luck man. make sure to squeeze on all your reps.

                              i too suffer from lackofchest syndrome.... and I've had to bump up my chest workouts to twice a week if i feel like i've recovered well, also, adding complex carbs to my protein shakes helped a ton.... the best way for me to get the extra calories and help with the weight gain. give it a try if you don't do it already
