my chest is a weak point and it seems to be recovering really slow compared to my other body parts
i do like 12 sets and im SORE as hell for 3 days

i can do a lot more volume but im always thinking my chest just wont recover so why bother

i started to put an ice pack on my chest after workout, seems to help slightly

Med-high volume. Superset, tri-sets, TUT, heavy compound at 75-90%, min recovery between sets

Thanks

I have one for back too...killer.

but I would have to Illustrate it, no way I could explain it...LOL

Maybe you should give it a try...made me curious
I prefer training advice from real peoples experiences, not whats written over and over again in certain magazines followed by studies that are made mostly by people who dont even lift

I believe that Groink answered this in another thread.
Groink should not talk about chest training, the guy has a set of female teenie tits.

He should look into which color bra suits him best on ebay.

Its been a long time now since I hit the Pec Deck.
Always thought this might work for others, not for me.
Today I did it the Groink way and I immediately felt the difference when moving in the right position.
Gonna use this in my chest routine now. Good advice, thanks.

try pressing on a smith machine at 30 degrees....followed by some hammer strength wide grip presses......my two cents.

Good stuff, that.  I wish my gym had a HS Wide Chest thingamabob.  It was always funny to watch guys use it at my old Gold's, though, with the seat set so high they were practically standing up :D

I also wish I had an old-school pec deck.  Not to take away from what you're saying, Groink, but Doggcrapp used to recommend a similar movement.

Ask Booty. She had quite the sudden chest development. I heard she only needed small shit to achieve this.

Superset with wide grip dips (or dips in general).

Flat dumbbell press, in all sorts of rep ranges. 

Barbell press is satisfying to perform but doesn't do as much for chest.

This worked for me, big time.

didn't change anything but the workout, and my chest got visibly thicker.

People here have said it.






i thickened up my pecs after decades of training by taking the triceps and delts out of the picture.


Pec Deck. but you don't press with your elbows and forearms, i don't feel shit when i do that.

grab the bottom of the pads with your hands, flare your elbows out, and DON"T make a wide swinging motion like you normally would. keep the motion tight, the pads should never be more than a few inches in front of your chest. and just "open and close" the machine. it should be linear, not circular. Elbows out and squeeze.  think more that you're pulling the handles in with your pecs, than pushing them with your arms

And I move the seat up and down....and grab different parts of the pads to hit upper and lower.



My theory is that Bad body parts are bad because biomechanically, you are set up where it's hard to get a good "feel" for them,  you lose tension on the muscle, or dominant muscles take the workload.

what I try and do is figure out ways around it.

my chest has always lagged big time, mostly cause my delts are so dominant...have to try this.
