how to target my upper chest ?

[Robboe]

nice try

Franco is a genetic freak quite frankly.

If you look at older photos when he isn;t as big you'll notice his upper chest has always been like that.

This is a perfect example of what i mentioned earlier: Some folk (like franco or sergio) have prime genetics for a great chest. Most haven't.

very true. most of us have one or two area's that seem to develop much better than others. me personally it is my chest and shoulders. my hardest to grow is bi's. how about you?

 

[Robboe]

What is your back and bi routine Yanks?

do you do them on the same day or separate them? if so, what is your split?

Calves for me btw.

 

[Yanks20]

lately i actually have been doing back and bi's together. i also have done splits in the past with just one muscle group per day. personally i like doing one muscle group per day and see the best results then.

current back rountine: 3-4 sets per

pullups
lat pulldown (front)
barbell rows
close grip pulldowns

aslo rotate in one arm rows, seated rows and very rarely behind the neck pulldowns.

bi's

standing barbell curls
seated incline curls
standing hammers
preachers

also swith up ez-curl bar (assending sets), concentration curls, seated alternate curls.

So, his upper chest was not always like that, huh?

 

[Robboe]

His entire chest has grown, Prince. Again I re-itterate: "nice try".


Yanks, IMO you do far too much volume.

i say 2 sets per exercise.

4-8 sets for large bodyparts, 2-4 for small ones (especially if you do small ones following large ones eg bis after back).

 

[Yanks20]

right now with the combination routine i do a total of 12 sets between back and bi's. what you are seeing above is the split and exercises i use when doing one muscle per day.

i have tried cutting down on the amount of sets in the past but personally feel that if i stay in the 12 set target that is when i see my best results.

Couldn't we save some energy by just bumping the old threads?

1- yes, you're an "it"
2- if the genetics are there for a very well developed upper chest, than yes, you can develop it over and above the lower chest. If Franco focused his efforts soley on upper chest, he would probably have been disproportionate
3- I have said SEVERAL times on here that I do not recommend "shape" training to beginners. Again, to them I recommend a "pool" of basic lifts. Only after there is ample development do I go to a more complicated training method, IF, their goal is to build the most "complete" physique possible
4- please, stay away from my ass

 

[Robboe]

Yanks, how can you say 12 sets is where you see best results when you just said earlier you were having problems making your biceps grow?!

Gopro, you love me being near your ass, admit it.

oh my lord, who revived this damn thead?!

 

[gopro]

Kill it, kill it now, kill it quick....I smell something nasty...uh oh, its the WBB crew...ahhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Mule]

Some one must having some trouble in the nipplage area.

 

[Robboe]

No, it's not the wbb crew. It seems more like someone trying to get 25 posts.

 

[Eggs]

*sigh* the one downside to making it mandatory to have 25 posts.

Can we just make it 100 posts and be done with it? Only the serious will actually be here then.

[Robboe]

It should be invite only.
