    please please please help with chest

    I am really finding it quite difficult to put some mass on my chest.

    My current chest routine is

    Flat bench press 4 sets 12 10 8 6
    Incline bench press 4 sets 12 10 8 6
    Incline db press 4 sets 15 12 10 8

    I increase the weight each set

    I dont have a problem putting mass on anywhere else ive really added some great size to my shoulders and thighs in particular over the last couple of months, however i just cant seem to get my chest to grow.

    Has anyone any suggestions as to why this is maybe a new routine would help.

    how long have you been working out?
    how often are you working your chest compared to your other groups?

    post your routine and your goals so some members can have a look and give you some tips

    Have to give your chest a reason to grow. Overtraining may also be a culprit. Like Myk said, post your entire routine.

    make it 3 sets and go to 8,6,6 up your weights. 3x12 screw all of that man. Just
    keep adding weight so you can only do 8-6 reps. Get a lot of sleep. Make sure your
    taking some glutamine post w/o

    just basically lower the volume man if you want some gains.

    I like doing chest/shoulders instead of chest/tris. I would change up to
    tris/bi's

    monday: chest/shoulder

    wed: legs

    fri: back (I sometimes do this on thurs)

    sat: tri's/bi's

    I agree, lower the volume of sets a bit. Bring the poundage UP and lower your rep range. Work in the 6 to 8 range with compound movements...

    Eat and sleep alot!

    start with an incline movement for a month or so, and play with the pace till you can feel your chest doing the pressing.
