sorry to break it to you bro, but you cannot isolate a specific portion of a muscle. whats that mean? it means irons77 and tomuchgear dont know what the fuck they are talking about. pec major is one muscle, and you cant shape it by building certain areas of it up. so just focus on a solid routine, eat, and it will eventually fill in when you get bigger

yeah and personally i think your doing to many exercises for one muscle, ur probably doing more harm then good in terms of growth, i woodnt do more then 4 sets on any 1 muscle, unless u can only get like 3-4 reps

Choose exercises that allow you to bring your hands close together at the end of the movement, and squeeze hard your pecs in that position. Use your mind-muscle connection

From your workout list The DB flyes work great for inner chest just make sure
you bring the dumbbells till they touch each other to emphisize on the inner chest. These are your best mass builders for inner chest do on an incline if you are lacking the line in the middle of your chest on the upper chest.
If your looking to shape your inner chest Pec-Deck is a great addition to your workout.

So knowledge is dependent on the size of somebody's muscles, now?

I already made my points about this subject in another thread (http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/tr...-knee-why.html (No development on outside of leg, just above knee. Why?)).

that's some great info Gaz. you should do something in your blog about that.

but that still doesn't answer my question about working the inside of the quad!!!

wow.. neither of you can support your side of the argument so you have to talk negatively on how i look. what, are you in 3rd grade? grow the fuck up.

the chest is ONE muscle. there isn't an isolation move for the inner/middle part of your upper chest. let me use an analogy courtesy of pitboss for those that dont understand physiology.. so we are on a page and half of everyone saying no you can not make one section of your chest grow. it all grows or doesn't grow at all.

it's like watering a tree. if you water only the south side will the north side stop growing??? i isolated the water and the south should be growing more than the north right?? NO it's the same freaking tree!!!!

I was thinking about it, but its REALLY basic physiology that you can find in literally any physiology textbook on the first page. Its basic, basic stuff and shouldnt really be given a whole article. Itd be like writing an article called "food gives you energy!".

And if you want to isolate the inside of the quad, you should take a really really wide stance so you are basically doing the splits, and then squat up from that.

it is proven that certain areas target parts of your body better than others no you cant spot train your chest, but you can do diffrent exercises to switch things up to make for some new growth. im sorry that i did not specify i figured with as many people who have stated you cant isolate your chest that it would not need to be stated.

Im all for varying exercises, but its just for the sake of variation rather than to "target a weak spot", yknow?
