Thread: How to Hit My Chest Mids and biceps hard ?

Instead of doing 5 sets of one bicep exercise, try an additional exercise or two. For example, I do 3 sets of alternating bicep curls, 3 sets of hammer curls, and 3 sets of concentration curls.

My favorite chest exercise is flat dumbell flys. Those things tear apart my chest. The different variations of benchpress are also good: flat, decline, and incline.

www.exrx.net is a good website to get some ideas for different exercises.

ok first close grip bench is for your triceps mainly, and i agree withwhat cowpimp said try variations of biceps curls he mentioned. i happen to like hammer curls on a incline bench. people here will argue saying that you can hit the middle of the chest since its one major muscle , that you can't do a certain exercise to build a specific area.

i happen to like decline dumb bell press and flat db press.

Who said anything about close grip bench press? I mentioned the specific variations of the benchpress which hit the chest... Decline is supposed to isolate the chest better than the others.

not you cow he did.

Hey,thanks for your replies
I done the decline dumbell press today with couple other workouts doing 4 set 10,8,6,4
I could definetly feel my mids,just hope they hurt tommorow

I was wondering what kind of sets you guys usualy do for biceps and chest ?

Also wondering if anyone has any tips on evening size out on their arms

Should i leave my right arm out of my workouts until my left matches in size to my right?

There is no middle chest. Or lower chest, or upper chest.

Your pecs contract and develop as a whole. Just a common misbelief in bodybuilding, dont buy into it. Declines dont build your "lower chest" and inclines dont build your "upper chest." Declines tend to stress your pecs more and front delts less, where inclines put more of the stress on your front delts.

Hmm
I have had my upper chest hurt after workouts without having whole of my chest hurting
What would that be then ?

To make sure my arms stay even, I do the following two things. One, use barbell exercises. When your weaker arm is starting to near failure, you can stop. Your stronger arm will get a less intense workout. Two, when doing dumbell lifts start with the weaker arm. Match your repititions with the stronger arm.

agree MonStar

try training chest & triceps together 1 day and then back & biceps on the other workout day

Yeh,I find gopros sets not putting enough stress on my muscle,I find i need to do fair bit to encourage any growth

Also wondering if any experience their right arm hurts more then their left would

Yesterday i hit my left triceps more then my right and instead my right arm hurts bit more,would this be due to larger muscles on this arm ?

Try adding more weight.

mike - could be because your form is different on your right arm from your left? make sure the form is the same.
also, start jerking off with your left hand.




j/k :P

i find gopro work out make me sweat like anything. maybe your not working with the right weight
