Why do so many people have an undeveloped chest?
This muscle gets workout by most people more than any, but few have a good chest! This doesnt make sense! I see people do what probably is the most known bodybuilding exercise (bench press) and yet they might put up good numbers, they have a small chest. SOMETHINGS NOT RIGHT
and there must be another exercise that can produce chest growth. I dont do decline exercises for chest because I already have a good lower chest, but maybe doing the will simulate growth overall? Does anybody else have an better explanation why a lot of people have an undeveloped chest? ![]() |

I knew a few bodybuilders that pressed huge numbers, but they didn't have much chest definition. This was because they had a lot of body fat. To achieve maximum defination of your muscles you need a combination of things, primarily a good diet/nutrician and the right workout routine. You must try to hit all your chest muscles to get a nice uniform chest build.
The guys that press large numbers can have lots of chest muscle, but can be covered by fat so you can't see it. Once they burn off the fat then it will expose their muscle and best display their muscular definition. |

Well, most people dont train their pectoralis minor, which is hit in db pullovers, and the pectoralis minor, if left untrained, could theoretically inhibit growth. This is my gym science answer...

bench press is 90% delt work, and depends on their BF. That's why they dont have a well defined chest. They need to do all variation of exercises to hit all parts of the pecs.

IMO the best exercise for the pectoralis minors would be weighted chest bar dips.

triceps and delts do a lot of bench work.... i dont know if i agree about hitting a muscle from all angles, but changing your routine every 4 or 5 weeks along with using proper isolation work along with proper TUT will build your pecs to their fullest potential

So, I take it that you are one those suffering this small chest disease? You don't need to do dumbell pullovers - flat, incline and decline will work fine... change up the order you do these in your routine every few weeks, and switch off between barbell and dumbell - lift low rep - heavy weight. Be sure to consume enough protein and follow good pre and post workout nutrition. |

I noticed a few years ago wwhen I reached the top portion of the bench press I gave it a 2 second flex* and it made a helluva a difference. Sometimes we get carrried away with how much we bench press and use too much delts and arms which you can't avoid.
* is that the right word? I hope you guys understand what I am saying. |
