'lower' chest

[ciarzy_boy]

I have a question about my pecs.

Do you have to work a 'lower' chest at all or does it work like your abs in that there is no 'lower' ab, just 1 sheet or muscle. The reason I ask is that the upper part of my pec has come along nicely since starting the WSFSBIII routine but my lower hasn't made any development at all.

Is this just how the muscle grows or should I be adding anything to the routine?

its down to the shape of your muscle,try some dips etc see if it helps.

yeah i dont pay any attention to lower/upper pecs either even though i probably should but if you are, doing decline bench press targets lower pecs and incline bench targets upper pecs/shoulders.

 

[ciarzy_boy]

Right off to try a decline bench so, I've just never heard anyone else mention it before.

What about db pull-overs?

 

[NoSweatNoGlory]

develop the chest and expand the ribcage

 

[TarHeelBred]

I think those mainly target your triceps and some shoulders but I could be wrong.

 

[evolution]

expand the ribcage

Explain how this works.

Breath in very deeply

and hold the air there.

what do

the db pull overs

 

[Karky]

DB pullovers would be shoulder extension, so the upper back also the pecs a bit, and you will need the tris to keep the elbows straight under load.

 

[Dry]

Cable Flies, set the cables at the top of the machine so you're pulling downward.

the db pull overs

pullovers are for lats mostly

Go for weighted dips.

 

[[Focus]]

Incline bench, weighted/cable chest dips (same as a dip, but with a very wide grip).

 

[Big_Idiot]

Focus you really need to focus.

Remember you have Pec minor.

A deeper lying muscle and smaller muscle located under and lower than pec major.

However my opinion is that of the previous post where it is more down to YOUR body shape.

I personally wouldn't change your programme too drastic e.g. decline presses, decline flys, dips etc etc.

Maybe just add one to your programme as your obviously training well as your getting benefits.
