Post a picture of your chest. I swear that most people who say they need bigger arms or chest don't. It's funny how virtually everyone is looking for a way to increase chest and arm size, but the vast majority of lifters out there are far from underveloped in these areas.

Beyond that, you could always just try increasing the volume of your chest workout a little bit. Just make sure to add in some extra rowing to balance it out.

If you actually do need mass on your chest, the likelihood is that you just need to develop overall chest mass as opposed to additional mass on the clavicular head in particular.



The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

for me...slow negatives does wonders for the chest. Still having trouble with upper pecs though, declines doesn't make much of a difference as documented.



I love dog meat.

eat more food if you want more hypertrophy. you can train until you are blue in the face but unless you are eating enough to grow, all that trainind wont amount to much.
