"Leg extensions cut up your quads and give them the 'tear drop' ... pull-ups for lat width ... rows for lat thickness ..."

so by that mentality we can shape a muscle, wherever you feel it "burning" is getting stimulated more and there will ultimately be more growth in that region of the muscle?

you're kidding right?

physiologically speaking a muscle grows as a whole, it does not matter if more fibers get stimulated in the inner, upper or whatever part of the muscle, the entire thing will grow, that is why you cannot build a peak, you either have the genetic make-up in the muscle for a peak or you do not.

why is this so difficult for people to understand?

I'm not trying to say that at all. Just saying it isolations that area of the chest more. Not saying anything about muscle growth.

again, I see no way to isolate a region of a single muscle, and the pec major is a single muscle.

So you get the same burning sensation doing incline db press, as decline db press?

**Prince** · 01-29-2004, 12:53 PM

why would I care what burning sensation I get?

what is that going to tell me?

I'm pretty sure the very upper part of the chest is actually a different muscle from the main portion...
