Lower Chest .... Its a battle ...

ladY and gentlemen ...

I need some advice on how to build my lower chest. I build very slow in that area.

As you all know, V.A clubs dont have decline benches, so i started doing dips.

Ive switched to more dumbell chest workouts and left the barbell aside as Ive read in other posts that it works better.

Is there anything else I can do?

I wud just stick to normal chest movements it will come over time. Maybe include cable flys but low fly movements.

It is "coming" slowly, I just feel I need to hit it harder, just dont know how

Juicy - the reason VA did away with decline benches is that when pushing heavy in a decline position there is extra pressure being put on your upper heart chamber and that is very dangerous especially for people with cardiac history in their family.
If you really have to do decline go with your barbell to the ab excercise section. There is a long incline bench where leg lifts is done. Turn around with your head at the bottom and hook your feet in where you would usually hold onto with your hands. Get one or two guys to hand you the barbell (depending on how heavy you lift).

Alot of guys don't like cables but if you get the angle right on the x-overs you'll feel the burn in your lower pecs...

Good idea, Il try it out on my next workout, Thanks NB

Inja u talking bout doing the cross cables from the bottom up? I throw that in my workouts sometimes

Even try dumbell pullovers, it stretches ur chest lakka and maybe could assist in ur lower chest.

i honestly think u need to stick to 3 -4 movements for chest pushing to failure. straight up i would say start with bench press flat or incline.then do incline dumbell press opposite to what u did for bench press and then dips and then flat or incline hammer press... push so heavy u fail on 8 reps for each set.it will force u to grow

Makes sense DJ ... but will that shape up my lower chest?

it will build your over all chest,u might not be lacking lower peck u might just be lacking pec in total..

Point taken ...

Ok my next workout Il follow your advice

Thanks guys

I also struggle with my chest. Up until just recently I never used to get a decent pump in my pecs and always seemed to use my shoulders too much when training chest.
A personal trainer at my gym showed me how to squeeze my pecs when doing chest excercises.
Start without weights, just take your hand and place it on your pec and do the excercise movements with the other arm...squeeze the pec and feel how the muscle flexes and moves when you do a specific movement.You should feel the upper,middle and lower chest flexing with the other hand when you do these different exercises and movements. When you get a feel for this try incorporate that into your exercises, it takes time to get used to but keep good form,focus on it and you will get it right.
Its made a huge difference to the way i train chest and im seeing results.
