I never do regular flat barbell bench. Only ever used dumbbells and cable crossover from multiple angles.

You can't refine something that isn't there. You need to build up sheet mass through heavy Flat Benching and Squats before you can use crossovers to sculpt striations in.

Sculpt striations in there... Lol.. Skeletal muscle is also called striated muscle.. The striations are visible when one is lean enough to see them. You don't sculpt striations in anything.

My bench tends to go down if I squat a lot. When I prioritize the bench and lay off the squats it goes up.
At least you didn't say drink a gallon of milk per day. :P

No military presses? No weighted dips? No Incline presses?

heavy incline dumbbell presses

Incline bench presses are a tool of the devil. You will destroy your ac joint. Flat benches all the way. Yes I also am a proponent of military presses. Dips are bad for the shoulders.

Really? I've had women comment on mine before and I don't even workout anymore.

lock yourself in the gym for an hour. hit the chest with fairly heavy stuff, with 2/3 of it being compounds. When you're whooped, do isolation stuff until the clock is up.
One hour, 5 times a week. It's impossible not to grow. Recovery is a bitch, though.
-
here's some more solid advice
use any chest pressing machine for a couple of sets
if you want, finish with some push ups
do this once a week and your chest will grow

would love to see the epic pecs you built with dumbbells and cable crossovers........cricke ts.......

Don't pull that shit with me. Saying that crossovers "sculpt striations" is almost as bad as high reps for cuts... ::)

I've decided I'm going to continue to listen to Arnold and not you. I hope I have made that plain enough for you to understand.

doesnt barbell press put a lot of stress on tendons in rotator cuff?

Incline bench presses yes. Listen, I'm a nice guy and all, but it is a real pet peeve of mine when I have to start repeating myself.
-
I have rotator cuff tendonitis. I have been doing undergrip on my benches to avoid further inflamation. Will i have the same chest development kind sir?

Sergio Oliva said that 'squats make the whole body grow.'

Correct. Squatting causes the release of testosterone into the blood stream.

looks like good chest development. I concentrate more on incline work as i think it needs more attention.
-
very solid advice
thank you.
so many articles and gurus claiming "build a great chest in just 6 sets" and "awesome pecs in 30 minutes..."
efficiency is awesome in most things in life, but our bodies are very primal, and only grow when an inefficient demand is placed upon them. we look exactly how we do because of the workload thus far.
i've blown up since turning 40. A few buddies asked me if i'm taking something. No, not at all. I just don't leave the gym at the 40 minute mark, when i felt i covered my bases, like I did for so many years. lock yourself in the weight area for 60 minutes. Then don't count sets, don't count exercises. Train for an hour, period. When your shoulders fail at 40 minutes, hey, you have 20 for traps and a few ab sets. Do those 5 hours a week, and 2-3 hours of walking too. That's an extra 8 hour shift each week - like working another day. But it's impossible to train that much and not grow. And the sets don't have to be brutal, failure, dropset, anything like that. Just go fairly heavy and do your time.
-
You dont see bodybuilders these days with this kind of chest development and look at the flat stomach no gut whatsoever.

do you have a disease that ate your traps?
Might be the angle. Also a side effect from not being a narrow midget.

Haha, well said... every FLEX magazine that ever had a chest building piece suggested "cable cross overs at the end to bring out the striations". What a bunch of bullshit
-
With the exception of a couple of guys most pris today are lacing the chests of past pros, these young guys are way over developing their shoulders and legs but they're lagging in pec mass, I think the reason is that most of them don't hit the free weight flat bench heavy anymore
Or all the gh, tren insulin seo etc blows their delts way out of proportion and makes their chest look small...
-
Dips, Dips, and more Dips. Worked for Arnold, and you have seen the basic weights they had back then. Newer machines do not translate to better gains. The opposite actually. Leads to being lazy. Arnold did not have Hammerstrenght machines etc, and look at the chest he and Franco developed. This coming from someone who does not even like Arnolds pyhsique. But he had a great chest.

does anyone even do cable crossovers anymore? ???

I suppose I would if I was going to compete and needed to etch some striations into my roast beef pecs. But I prefer being huge even if it means being smooth. I get such a kick from putting on a t shirt and watching the material cling to these massive pecs, with my oversized arms hanging out. I wouldn't give up any of my size to pose and compete. When I walk the streets I can see the respect and admiration in the men's eyes, and the lust in the women's. I love this lifestyle.

the only roast beef you see is your wife's pussy lips after a cuck session with La'Quan and Tyrone

A rather weak post showcasing all of the classic beta male rhetoric: "cuck", "your wife this", "tyrone that". Do something with your life son. Get a degree, get a job, join the army, do something. The seeds of disaster are long planted in your life, and while you find yourself to be humorous now, the neglect of your own intellect is going to handicap you severely down the road.

l that's pretty rich coming from a gimmick posting about "carving in chest striations", go drink a bottle of bleach and then eat a bullet
You may not have noticed but I concluded my business with you in my previous post. I would ask you to refer to it should you become inspired with any more if your virginal, foul mouthed, rants.
