I too love that “boobie builder” comment. Those guys coming into the gym working solely on their vanity muscles focusing on only their chest and bicepts for years and years. So sad.

@M. Ahsan Alahi – what about your chest do you feel is not balanced? Nobody’s chest is perfectly balanced. You seem to have good muscle mass in your chest but could stand to lose some body fat so that you could show off the muscle you do have. Is that what you mean? By the way – this would probably get more people commenting if you posted this to the forums at http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/forum/ .

@tomsea – that’s a tough call. First off, are you really sure one pec is growing bigger? Or did it start off bigger? Or are you saying the bench press is causing one side to get bigger? I’m not sure how that would be possible from the barbell bench press. In fact, barbell presses should even out any natural differences from side to side. If you are sure that one side is getting bigger, then perhaps it has to do with something else – job related maybe? The best thing would be to eliminate the thing that is causing the imbalance.

And how much bigger? Everyone has natural imbalances and unless you are competing in a bodybuilding contest, it really doesn’t matter. And you could do some real damage trying to “over-correct” and doing some really stupid exercises.

How can one overcome the challenge of one side of the chest growing bigger than the other though he does barbell bench press?

@Joe – unless you are a competition level bodybuilder, you won’t need to do any additional work for your tris.

Jason,
I was happy to read your post because my chest/tri day is exactly what you prescribe. I do flat bench, then incline bench, then weighted dips. I have a question, though: Since these are 3 high intensity compound lifts, do you think I need to add anything else to isolate my tris or do you think they get worked enough with those lifts? I’ll be honest, they’re pretty tired after dips but I suppose I could burn out doing pushdowns or something. Thoughts?

hello!

first of all ,i got here because i was looking for “inner” and “lower” chest exercises.

the problem is that my chest seems to be growing only from the uper/outer section, i can see a real diference there, but honestly i dont see any changes in the lower and in the inner part of my chest, so i really wanna know if that is normal or if i am doing something wrong.

tnx!
