What if he'd have asked how to volumise a muscle, would you consider that acceptable wording :wink:

yes bossman that's perfect wording

not being an asshole but when most say shape they mean something like...

"...i wanna shape chest, not get bigger..."

if something grows bigger it will of course have more "shape"...this is why flies and crossovers don;t shape the muscle because the wt used id too little to make the muscle grow bigger, ala heavy incline and flat bench presses and bloody hard push up variations

they can EMPHASISE different area's but it depends on your physical make up...for wfficiency your better off simply doing flat...i've done these for about the last yr with no decline or incline and have only just changed to incline yesturday for a mix up
