Flat Chested?

[push01]

I am woman 5'1" about 112-115lbs and I am looking for chest advice. My question is, how much weight is enough and what types of chest exercises should I do to tone and not lose the curviness of the breast? I just don't want to get flat muscles in my chest.

Tone? IS that your way of saying you want to build very little muscle. Flat chest muscles? Are there different shaped ones? I suggest you post a picture of your top so we can properly evaluate your situation and render a good opinion

You wont loose the "curviness" on ur breasts if u build chest muscle...But if u have very small breasts and build a hugely muscular chest, I must admit ur boobs might look inexistant!lol
Are u training ur chest now?? How much, what do u do?? Whats ur actual goal?

Agreed, not much can be done without a picture(s).

the only way you will lose your curves is if you drop a lot of body fat. strenthening the pectorals will do nothing except help keep your breasts where they should be. you always want to use as much weight as possible while keeping good form.

I am fairly new to benching and I start out benching just the bar as a warm up and then add 10 lbs. and do 3 sets of 7 reps. Then I use dumbells and do a few more exercises such as fly's. I am about at 34 B to C and I just wasn't sure how heavy to lift or if it matters. I want to firm up the area but didn't know if going heavy would cause the muscle to square up and get flat. What's your suggestion?

No need to go too heavy or too light for your goals. Lift in a range of about 8-15 reps, and do 3 exercises for 3 sets each. If you are not able to get 8 reps you are going too heavy, and if you are able to get more than 15, you are going too light. That is an easy way to gauge yourself. A good sample program for you might be...

-bench press
-incline dumbell press
-cable crossover

next workout

-incline press
-flat flyes
-dumbell pullover
