OmarJackson · Jun 16, 2004

I stopped bench pressing for a while cuz of shoulder problems and swithched to incline DB presses and dips. I Improved in incline DB presses from 75lbs to 85lbs and in dips from BW+35 to Bw+55, but i feel as if my chest is getting smaller, can this be possible?

If you're not eating enough then yes. You can be gaining strength while losing muscle mass. You're just increasing the efficiency of the remaining muscle mass. However, it is probably just in your head.

also, if you are lifting lighter due to the shoulder problem then yes you could lose some size, if you're no longer stimulating the muscle with heavy weights it will atrophy.
