lower chest!!!???

[JohnnyVain]

i need the most help with my lower chest. i hear diff things like. just build the chest in general and gravity will do the rest. or how decline bench is more of an upper chest thing. im gonna look into it more just wanted to see what you all suggest.
(also, few years ago...i had the glands removed from my chest to be checked for cancer..so basically i had gyno surgery....i can stll see a small indent where the removal was...but all he took wsa the glands and lipo a little to smooth it out...the muscle wasnt touched..so that shouldnt be an issue right?)

no. chest development is 99% genetics IMO. Just do heavy ass bench. Incline and Flat. Really IMO flat is all you need as most people incline on too high of a plane anyway. decline? eh. take it or leave it.

Who told you decline was for the upper pectoralis? I'm with RJ about it being largely genetic, it all has to do with physics. WHat kind of mechanics result from your specific pec tendon insertion points on the humerus. That being said, fiber recruitment will change as you go from flat to incline.

IMO the best movements to stimulate the lower fibers is the dip and regular old flat bench. I'm not a fan of decline bench press.

good call. i always forget Dips and i do them. lol

JV, i'd like you to check out my fav routine. Its very simple and could be very effective for you attempting a crossover from gay underwear modeling to actual weight lifting for size and strength.

Weighted dips are my all around favorite pressing movement - keep your shoulders back, get a good stretch at the bottom and you're good to go.

decline hammer worked great for me, also throw in some cable crosses
