Real Life: I cant get pecks

[SUNZ]

I was personal training for 4 months. I could bench 280pounds max, I ran tons and did alotta cardio, took protein and all that. I dont have pecs(or as big as i want)

WTF am i doin wrong ?

my routine was
whole upper body(3 times a week)chest/back,traps/shrugs,bicep/triceps

[Innkyblott]

What pec exercises are you doing? Here's one:

Get two chairs and place them 18 inches apart. Place a hand in the middle of each. Lower yourself below the seats of the chairs, and bring yourself back up (like a push up). Work your way up to 50 a day and you'll see results.

goddamn! thats a rotator cuff's nightmare

i always had big pecs, i started real young doing **** like that... but i guess you hit a limit once you get older... don't go crazy w/ chest man, you have to balance it out by doing rows and back exercises too

[Gentility]

pecs are overrated. fucc em.

Switch to dumbbells for flat and incline press and you'll see a difference in a few weeks. Bench press is great for gaining strength but if your trying to gain mass nothing beats Dumbbells for your chest. Do 4 sets of 10 starting out with moderate weight and MAKE SURE YOU GET THE MOTION DOWN PAT. You'll want to use a Progressive method too, so try to up the weight by 5-10 pounds every set. Don't settle for anything less than 6 reps, if you can press that weight for 6 reps then next week come in and move it up 5 pounds.

And for god's sake don't bang the dumbbells when you press it at its peak, makes the rep worthless. The key to effective dumbbell pressing is maintaining tension on the Pecs at ALL TIMES. When you touch the weights together whatever tension that was there disappears.

One word of advice...


PUSH UPS, FAM!!!


(and i ain't talking about that frozen confection, either!).


Do 30 pushups every day for two months straight. No matter what (unless you were the recipient of an arm injury that places a burden on your ability to complete this task, i suggest you go with no days off), stick with the regimen and i assure you success with pecs.


Just peep, Merrill Streep.

That was after 3 months of 30-a-day pushup routines. It's not too arduous to keep up with and it doesn't require any machines/devices to complete. All that is necessary is you and determination.


And it's great for those erotic "ON TOP" positions when you have pecs. Ladies be lovin' a thug. Cuttin' up a rug, finna getta dig dug. Holla my fit nug. Remember, in 3 months time, you will get big-ged up!!

yo why the fukk you aint uppin them reps instead of just keeping it at 30?

Yeah, you have good point there.


But you do that, and cats will start to get lazy. Talk about starting too high and you will discourage people. I don't know. I stay at thirty and it's strictly for cosmetic purposes. I mean, i understand your sitchayshun cuz you box, i'm just doing it to stay fit and lean. That's it. If SUNZ is tryna beef up, yeah, increase the rep count.


It all depends on the look you want and if you're tryna bulk up something serious.

After a while push ups get tedious.

[Innkyblott]

Oh, and do cardio. Sometimes your fat covers up the muscles. Do Cardio and you'll get flatter abs which will make your chest look bigger.
