A friend of mine was all triceps and delts. You could almost see his ribs behind his thin chest muscles.
By making minor changes on how he trained, grip/hand placement..., and focusing on feeling the workout in his pecs and not just bouncing the weights with his arms or delts, he brought it up.
It's far from being a strong point now, but it's a lot better.

Try some drop-sets,pre-exhaust super-sets,and Smith Inclines using 1 +1/2 reps = 1 rep.


All good intensity techniques.

Use moderate weight in textbook form with minimal rest time between sets.


10-12 reps is nice for pecs IMO.

If you`ve been doing the same things for years,your body has adapted to your workload........shake things up.

1-Adjustable bench(incline to decline) like the ones usually found in front of the dumbell rack, set at high incline(60 degrees)

2-warmed up, take dumbells you could do 20 strict yet moderate easy flyes with in that position

3- do 10 strict reps 60 degree incline dumbell flyes, pause at bottom, contract at top of movement, then rep out 10 strict reps with the same dumbell presses facing each other as a superset,  pause at bottom, contract at top of movement,

4-rest about 30 seconds, about enough time to lower the bench to a 35-45 angle

5-do 10 strict reps 35-45 degree incline dumbell flyes, pause at bottom, contract at top of movement, then rep out 10 strict reps with the same dumbell presses facing each as a superset,  pause at bottom, contract at top of movement,

6-rest about 45 seconds, about enough time to lower the bench to a flat position take a few breaths and get back into position

7-do 10 strict reps flat dumbell flyes, pause at bottom, contract at top of movement, then rep out 10 strict reps with the same dumbell presses facing each as a superset,  pause at bottom, contract at top of movement,

8-rest about 60 seconds, about enough time to lower the bench to a decline position take a few breaths and get back into position

9-do 10 strict reps decline dumbell flyes, pause at bottom, contract at top of movement, then rep out 10 strict reps with the same dumbell presses facing each as a superset,  pause at bottom, contract at top of movement,

synopsis
superset#1-high incline flyes with high incline dumbell press 1x10 each
30 seconds rest
superset#2- regular incline flyes with incline dumbell press 1x10 each
45 seconds rest
superset#3- Flat flyes with flat dumbell press 1x10 each
60 seconds rest
superset#4-decline flyes with decline dumbell press 1x10 each

put the dumbells away without making a buttload of noise like other idiots do, then wipe off the bench and let someone else with better pecs have it

I gotta add something to using incline flyes/bench for upper chest & and cables for lower pecs...
ADD in a set of incline push-ups in between EVERY weight movement and your pump will be maddening!!!

Those kill my shoulders for some reason. Can do inclines with DBs but on a flat surface something just doesn't work right.

What changes in your training then? Less food, more cardio?

Fuck this naive shit, there are no secret movements. Just train hard and safe at the same time, eat well and take enough time to recover.

Exactly. It cracks me up when this question comes and the slew of exercises starts coming up. Like this guy hasn't tried every possible movement and rep scheme.

A good frequency is every 5 days. If you train with volume and remember the fact there is over lap then it is more than enough. You have to remember that your soft structures ligaments and tendons are worked too. They do not recover so fast...bear that in mind regarding injuries
