Chest help

[Cavy kidd]

I bench 265 and my chest looks like i bench 140. I take protein 2 to 3 times a day and drink a weight gainer shake every day. I eat good lots of protein and carbs. What am i doing wrong or what am i not doing?

thanks

post your workout routine and your diet, someone will help

My workout is 3 sets 3 to 5 reps. I am naturally really skinny so lower reps help. I do 3 sets of flyes 10 to 12 reps. And then i will do dumbell presses 3 sets 8 to 10 reps. My lower chest is what is mostly lagging. Near the lower outer part where it ties into the shoulder.

You should try and post a video of yourself performing bench press if possible. You might be using more of your shoulders or arching your back too much which takes the emphasis off of the pectorals.

The best mass builder for the chest, in my opinion, is weighted dips. Not tricep dips, but the kind where you lean forward to target the pecs. Do a couple sets of negatives on dips, followed by a couple sets of dumbbell press with some light weight, just to get a burn. The negatives on dips can be a serious mass builder, assuming you eat enough.

Dude, is probably right. You really need to concentrate on USING your chest to bench the weight, i mean consciously.
DO NOT just throw the weight up with everything you have, ease into the movement and contract your chest to push up the weight, avoid using the majority tricep muscles to push and really focus on using your chest. do not just throw the weight up and down.
Sometimes when i bench i find myself not using a lot of chest, so i really concentrate on using the pecs to move the weight, and then you can really feel your chest pumping up hard when you do that.

Do you feel chest soreness day after workout? Do you go all the way down with de bar? Good idea would be adding dips, it worked for me. Maybe you could add 2 sets of 10 reps at the end of your 3x3/5 flat bench (I think 3 reps is to low). I found that 5x5 in flat bench gave me strengh gains but the 2x10 added at the end gives me great pump and helped for size.
You should feel a good soreness after the chest day.
