Chest mass

tenor Posts: 60 Joined: 2003/08/19	2006/12/28, 02:34 AM What do I need to do to pack on chest muscle? I mean, is there anything I can do to really add some mass? I already workout, but my chest is lackluster. I really want to add some inches there, if possible.

It worked for me and some of my friends, but you got to eat healthy, but at the same time pack on a little bit of fat. Also, weighted dips are excellent to get your triceps and pecs burning. While doing dips for your pecs you want to go as low as possible (if you havn't done them in a while you will feel a hell of a stretch) then push yourself back to starting. -------------- Don't think you cant do it know you can do it.

That's so your shoulders will be tired and the chest will take over on chest exercises. 2) when you grip the bar on bench, pretend you are trying to slide your hands inward. Don't move them but press them inward. It has really worked for me so far. I was like you and couldn't ever build my chest. After doing these two things, I have been more sore in my chest than ever before which tells me I am hitting the muscles better than ever before :)
