Bodybuilding, Weight Lifting

Hi Martin. There are many ways to get a bigger chest. If you lift weights then u will recruit muscle fibres and motor units... therefore increase muscle size. I know where u are coming from as i actually have the same kind of structure, wide shoulders big ribs yet not a huge amount to show off for it.

If you want to gain strength as well i would recommend that u superset using a 'pre-exhaust' method. Therefore do 3 sets of 10-12 cable cross overs to really warm up the pec fibres making sure u are almost at failure on your last set. Then afterwards you can blast them with 3 x sets of bench press (preferably on a smith machine as you are psychologically going to use more weight) Then finish them off with either weighted dips (using a belt) or incline presses using DB's again 3 sets of 3.

This will really take it out of your chest and therefore you will need 3-5 days recovery before you train your chest again.

All the best :)

I've had trouble building up a big chest myself, but I am evenutally starting to get somewhere, with my last program update, I put 6cm of muscle around my chest. My trainer makes me do 3 x 12 sets of:
- Chest Press with Dumbbells,
- Incline Press with Dumbbells,
- Bench Press with Barbells and
- Pushups (3 x 20)
I also work a lot on the back, which help outs.

Give this a shot and I bet you'll see noticeable results within 6 weeks.
