just a question chest's appearance

[x_rated_mo]

i'd like chest to have that 'drawn' look from the bottom--to be more cut from the bottom i guess. so what exercises should i do for that ?
also, i'd like to have that line in the middle to be visible and run down til the bottom of chest--cuz at the lower part of the middle of chest there is this gap thing--n i wanna that.

i want it to end up looking like this.

\.__|__./

i'm doing pushup variations as well for strength, will those interfere in any way to how chest will end up looking ?
thanx.

your pec shape is geneitc so you might not be able to et the shape you want...i've sort of got a diamond shape for pec line so i won't everhave the armour type look that you want either

for the outer portion anything where you arms are out wide will do the trick (flies, wide push ups etc) without locking out so your range of moton will be short

as for mid pec anything where you can get your hands together with muscle trension (i.e. crossovers, gymnastic ring or chain suspended push ups are fav)

you didn't say so but are you doing wts as well? push ups won't build a great deal of muscle unless you can overload with wt some how

yessss.. i knew it had something to do with genetics.
I'l incorporate more wide grip exercises in workout.
What do you mean by muscle trension exercises? i herd about the rings in gymnastics--i try that on other objects (like two parallel pipes) but isnt that more of a shoulder/trap workout then chest ?

Yeah, chest schedule is the following (i work out chest twice a week)
First time:
Bench press, 4 sets of 10-12 (45kg, 50, 50, 55)
Incline press, 3 sets of 10 (40, 45, 50)
Incline flyes, 3 sets of 10-12 (9, 9, 12.5)
Flye machine 4 sets of 10 (weight blocks--35, 40, 45, 55)

Second time:
Bench press, 4 sets of 10-12 (45, 50, 50, 55)
Decline press, 4 sets of 10 (40, 45, 45, 50)
Pushup variations
Flye machine and/or that exercises on the big cable multi-exercise machine where you grab the handle from the bottom of one side, and the handle from the bottom of the other side, stand in the middle and scoop upwards..(you can do it as well by grabbing from the top of the sides instead the bottom)
on the top of this machine there are wide/tight grip handles for pullups

alright i hope you got the point on which exercise this is lol, if not then yeah just take into consideration that i do flyes on that 4th exercise

i hope your doing the same volume for back or you'll cause some serious muscle imbalances...the cable crossover is what i think you're doing which is what i suggested for mid pec...muscle tension just refers to the muscle working through a full range of motion...during a db fly, there's no tension on the muscle for the last 1/2 of the movement yet people do them mid chest where a crossover has most of it's tension when yuor hands are together...do 1 - 2 warm up sets at 50 and 755 or working wt than do all sets witht he same wt with the aim being to get 12 reps on all 4 sets...stay with the same wt until you do than increase and work back up again...i wouldn't do more than 3 working sets also as fatigue will build up and than you're just beating a dead horse...if doing 2 sessions, don't repeat the sdame exercise in any session

session 1 - flat bb bench press 3 x 10 - 12...incline db press 2 - 3 x 10 - 12...incline cable crossover 2 x 15

session2 - decline bb bench press 3 x 10 - 12...flat db fly 2 - 3 x 10 - 12...standing cable crossover 2 x 15

i think you get the drift

hmmm although i AM workin back, ur rite i should incorporate more back to even it out with chest..
sounds like good sessions--but wats the difference between the standing crossover and the incline crossover? i mean, rnt u standing for the incline crossover?

[swanso5]

they can ephasise different parts of the chest but nothing really, just another angle so the same motor units don't get used over and over resulting in overtraining / injury
