Why do so many people have an undeveloped chest?

[99hawkins]

Chest is my weakness I think, but I refuse to let myself believe it's due to genetics. My Dad had a hench chest......I hope it's not genetics

This muscle gets workout by most people more than any, but few have a good chest! This doesnt make sense! I see people do what probably is the most known bodybuilding exercise (bench press) and yet they might put up good numbers, they have a small chest. SOMETHINGS NOT RIGHTand there must be another exercise that can produce chest growth. I dont do decline exercises for chest because I already have a good lower chest, but maybe doing the will simulate growth overall?

Does anybody else have an better explanation why a lot of people have an undeveloped chest?

In short, people's chests are weak because they lift like pussies and they eat like crap.

Also, there is no lower and upper chest. The pectoralis major constitutes two heads, but they are functionally one muscle because you cannot contract one head without contracting the other. Decline presses are great for one's chest, as they put more emphasis on your chest and take it away from your shoulders. Typically, people can decline press more than they can flat press.

Cant you hit the exact same head by doing deep dips, leaning slightly forward? Wouldnt these dips tend to make decline presses redundant? I prefer the dips, and of course, we can go for reps to exhaustion, using just body weight, or we can go heavy for 4-6 with wt belt, and accomplish the same thing or more as we could on the decline bench.

Yeah, the mechanics of the lifts are similar enough. Do whatever you prefer. Dips are great too.

IMO.........it doesn't matter how much weight you can throw up. It's what muscles your concentrating on contracting that builds it.

[kenwood]

ok soo far i have this for the answer:

1. not stretching the chest at the bottom position of the bench.
2. not squeezing pecs while going in the positive phase and at the top.
3. genetics
4. Diet
5. Need a low bodyfat % to have good developed pecs
6. Foreman sated that his penis burns when he pees

That shit just does not make any sense. Number 3 and 4 are the #1 reason as usual
