Newby: Hi and a Q?

eric-thor · 04-23-2005, 03:22 PM

Hi. I'm new to your forum today. Looks like a great place for advice. I have been back into lifting & cardio for 2 years after a long hiatus. I have made some great advances like losing 30 lbs of fat and adding 25 lbs of muscle. I am pretty happy with my overall body shape at 5ft 7in and 195 lbs, though I would like to get down to 185. I have one area I would like to strategically address which is the outer and lower pec. What would be the best approach to address this area. Would you recommend building the middle to upper pec to pull up the skin, or focus more specifically on excercises that would build the outer/lower pec ?

I appreciate any and all advice.

Welcome to Ironmag.

The pec is one muscle. You build it all at once, not in parts. You cannot build the "lower pec" any differently than the "upper pec", etc. Cut your fat, and youll see definition.

True enough ...

There is a good article here on the site somewhere which explains in great detail the reasons why it is scientifically impossible to isolate different parts of the pec. Have a look at it.
