Whats builds mass on chest ?

[ihavenoclue]

Is dumbell bench press better than barbell....i cant bench 330 2X but cant barley get 110 for more than 2X which if you add up is only 220 ? is it that much more effective than bar press ?

massive chest

inclines switch from dumbells to barbell every week......INCLINES

I think wide grip bar bell is the best. not too wide do..

You need to mix it up both barbell and dumbell are needed for me to get max mass on chest.

Barbell uses more synergistic muscles therefore will stimulate the greatest mass but dumbell isolates the chest much more + more natural movement less chance of injury.

The narrower the grip with barbell the more tris are involved so I would keep your grip wide.

Drop sets ..................arnolds fav...

Heavy squats, Deadlifts and a lot of food along with your presses of course.

Plain old flat benches are my staple, but maybe something else works better for you (like dumbells).

 

[Miss Muscle]

I absolutely believe in switching it up for maximum results.

I think we under-train eccentrically. You are stronger with eccentric contractions than concentric.

I sometimes use the following technique with barbell press. On the eccentric aspect get your buds to add more weight and then take it off again on the concentric. Don't do it too much its a killer worst DOMS I have ever experienced.

The best way to train your chest is slow repitions. Pick up a barbell or dumbell of half the weight. Then take let it down at the regular speed your used to work out with and once your at the bottom take 15 seconds to push it up. 4 reps is good but try and see what you can do. This is a training method that the inventer of Nautilis equipment did. Ellington Darden was his name.You can use this method on anything you want,arms,triceps,pecs,legs, try it.

well, everybody will tell you different things, because many things work for certain people. for me? i used to powerlift, heavy heavy sets, always increasing weight, 2 and 3, these all built me u fairly large. drop all of the sissy flys and pullovers, big up the barbell and start moving some real iron.

I think this bears repeating.

switching up from dumb bell, good ol flat bench, and flies. pull overs are also pretty good.
