Building a FULL thick chest - Advice

Whats your routine?
What can you rep whilst benching?
Whats your form like? - video would help
How heavy are you?

1) Tried pretty much everything, PPL, Upper/Lower, the "bro-split" and the 4 day split.

2) Varies like the weight there are days i can do 85kg for 10 and other days where i coan just about scrap a 5x5 with 70kg.

3) On bench press i would say i do not really feel it, i have tried "squeezing at the top" and all sorts. I dont really get chest doms anymore either, some say this is a sign of ineffective training but i think it is to do with me having higher frequency and now they are used to the split.

4) I weigh about 76kg and im about 6`2 (sucks i know) - What would you say is a god weight for that height, the problem is im genetically quite broad so look heavier than i am, arms are about 15.5 but look skinny. Just need to get some advice i am about 20 weeks out from freshers

If you can bench 85kg for 10 and have no chest muscle then your form must be pretty wrong, you must be all triceps and deltoid tbh, especially if u got 15.5 arms with 0 chest
I was guilty of this kinda thing too once, although still developed the chest
Best to focus on form, drop the weight, put your ass properly on the bench, bring your shoulders back, tense your lats, and push without bringing your shoulders forward
U will find you are weak and it feels nasty, but it's gotta be done
You could also widen your grip

1) That would be a primary source of your problem. You have no plan, it is hard to progress
2) Your form probably sucks.
3)Form + do paused bench (quick 1, 2 count). DOMS also means **** all for muscle growth. In fact it means **** all period
4) You need to eat more and your arms look skinny probably because you're lanky. Going to take a while to not look like it.

What's your other lifts? Squat/ overhead press (or dumbbell overhead press) / deadlift?

And what's gonna happen then?

You gonna strut around the place topless so the chicks can admire your physique?

I wouldnt say i have "no chest muscle" its just pretty lacking. I still have a fuller chest than the average joe but i feel its just not up to par. The mid chest is my biggest issue, my outside part is pretty full but as you come to the centre it gets flatter and flatter which basically caused the chest to look flat from a range. I dont know if that makes sense, but that is more or less the issue.

I have tried locking my shoulder blades onto the bench and mind muscle connection and squeezing at the top, again this grows the part of the chest which joins the front delts but the centre remains flat.

I tried the plans for like 12 weeks, i agree with you i am not consistent primarily because of revision but its just excuses i know. My form does probably suck like i mentioned above, the outer part of my chest is quite full and thick its just not consistent when you move inwards and the closer to the center the flatter it is. The part joining the front delts is thick and full but as soon as you look from a range it looks flat because its not the same thickness throughout.

Yeah im aiming to get to 85kg so (a gain of 9kg) before September; Do able do you reckon?? And then can see my conditioning. With regards to my other lifts im pretty strong (i think for my height and weight) Easily squat 150kg for 8-10reps never tried 1RPM, overhead press, ALMOST 1 plate each side currently repping 2 10s, 5kg and 2.5kg. Deadlift i dont do it, not a big fan, did 165kg under peer pressure a while back.

That stuff is mostly pointless anyway. The best way to get a bigger chest is [obviously] just to be stronger so that you can lift more weight. You've only been training a year and a bit and you've already tried "everything", including at least four routines ("PPL, Upper/Lower, the "bro-split" and the 4 day split", which means you haven't stuck at anything for very long and so your progression obviously will have suffered. Pick one routine. Stick to it for the next year. Progressively overload. If you get stuck at a certain weight, deload (according to the routine) and eat more.

Also I presume you're doing more than just flat BB bench (e.g. some DB benching too)? BB is more tricep dominant for a lot of people than DBs.

You can't target where on your pec major/ minor grows. It either all grows or it doesn't. The shape of the muscle is genetic. Fat deposition also can change the shape

9kg in 4 months is around 1/2 a lb a week so is a decent target, if you keep progressing, you won't get too fat

Sup, long time no see. Hows life?

Barbell bench is a crap exercise for bodybuilding IMO. My chest development came leaps and bounds when I switched it out for other exercises, my two favourites being dumbbell bench and Hammer Strength wide chest press.

Stick to a routine for a good while and try to progress up through the weights over time.

Sup man, I'm good , dunno what compelled me to reply to this guy, I lurk but don't tend to post
Lifting been kinds static for a year, had other **** to do
Starting to consider ramping it up though

You?

I dont like it, but apparently it was suggested that i swap to benching to help but still nothing.

Im trying to run a Upper/Lower split twice a week, reckon that is good enough or shall i swap it up to PPL twice a week?

Im progressing on everything except chest which sucks

Yeah, this is true.

Not to mention, if you're like me and have pathetic joints, BB bench can mess your shoulders up. It's not for everyone.
