Pectorals

I've been working out sticking to a program for the last 6 weeks or so and I'm pretty pleased with the overall results,one thing really annoying me is my pectorals are still undeveloped compared with the rest of me. The part of my pec in the middle(touching the chest) is fine but the bit pointing towards the arm is still annoyingly unchanged.Is there any exercise I can do which will bulk out the pecs?At the moment I do curls,bent over rows,push ups,jumping jacks,bootstraps and crunches.
Thanks
 
An exercise program to add muscle mass along with a lot of good food: heavy bench press, deadlift, squat, bent rows, pullups/chinups, dips, presses...

"curls,jumping jacks,bootstraps and crunches" won't do anything for you, except perhaps increase your endurance, and pushups won't ever provide enough resistance to add significant muscle mass
 
THey do nothign?I know they wont help my muscle mass etc, but I thought they were useful as endurance/aerobic exercise/toning legs and stomach respectivly.
 
There is no such thing as toning your legs or abs bro... the only way to tone your body up is to lose body fat and maintain muscle, aka cutting. Those exercises wont do anything for you to be honest, except provide a little cardio.
 
Ok.Cheers.So crunches,and push ups are out.I still think I'll keep the jumping jacks as theyre still aerobic exercise.
I only have a small (1.2m) barbell due to space limitations so bench presses are a pain as my hands are relatively close together.Is it still worth it?
Now,deadlifts?Can you tell me how to do them properly?I've looked on youtube but it all seems more about how heavy weights they can lift rather than showing how to do it.
Squat: Is this done right by putting a barbell across my shoulders,then moving down to a squatting position?
Pull ups: these are a real pain to me, I can do about 8-10 but to be honest this seems more to do with me using momentum than actual strength as I have to keep moving or I can't lift myself up.How can I get enough body strength to do one properly?I'm light so can hold myself up easily etc so weight loss isnt a problem.Its mostly the muscles.
Presses I have no idea what they are, but would doing deadlifts,squats,bent over rows and benchpresses be a good workout for my body?
Thanks a million
