Chest won't grow!!! HELP!!!!

[REF-E-MB]

OK, my chest just won't grow- it seems that every part of my body grows but my chest, even while I'm on AS. My arms get huge and grow very easily, as well as my back and traps, but my chest just doesn't grow. When I work it out, it gets sore as shit and gets a pretty decent pump, but after that it just shrinks back down. I work out every body part once per week except for by bi's which I work out 2x a week. I work my chest with 4 different exercsies, 4 sets per exercise-and I alternate routines each week(never start with the same exercise twice in a row).

Does anyone have any advice?!?!?

bump!

What exercises are you doing? 16 sets is quite a few, you might want to try cutting back to 11-12. It might not seem logical but overtraining might be your problem. Or it could be the exercises you are doing.

I personally know one of the world amateur champion Piotr Gluchowski (contest body wieght over 235lbs) and he has the same problem. Why? His genetic. Probably in your case it's not a genetic but you can try Piotr (Peter) methods.
First of all - weights you must use huge wieghts
Exrecisess - the best is dumbell press
Series - 3 exercisess and 3 - 4 series for one exercise
Reps - start with 12 reps finish with 4 - 5, sometimes only 3 reps
During such hard chest training session you must have somebody for help. Keep growing!

Well more than likely it is his genetics, for instance my shoulders will grow out of proportion whether I work them out or not. Try using dumbell movements and concentrate on squeezing your pecs at the top extension, dont go too heavy and dont go light either. Lessen your sets try doing 9 sets instead. When you have a bodypart that does not respond very well, that particular bodypart is also more likely to become overtrained and visa versa. Good Luck.

I have EXACTLY the same problem. On my current cycle i've added about 15lbs of muscle. EVERY body part grew except chest. I'm blasting it with mass movements (presses mainly but not only). And after working the chest my pecs just SCREAM and hurt like hell. Pump is an understatement for them, however, they NEVER grow and NEVER will.. This is called G.E.N.E.T.I.C.S. and that's exactly the reason why plastic surgeons like Dr. Nadler exist.
Pecs & Calves are two muscles which some people seem to have problems with no matter what they do. That's why some people make transplants.
I know my problem is strickly genetics. My chest is also VERY strong for my bodyweight but it doesn't matter at all it's still extremely small.

same thing happens with both of my friends..everything grows exept chest...and me, my chest is HUGE compared to arms, but arms not...lol

anyways, i suggest if you only train once a week, train twice. and always increase in weight. sounds crazy, but ever since my freind started working out chest 2/3 times a week, it finally started growing. IM not saying to train it 3 times a week, but keep protein high as fuck, and just do diff routines everytime to shock your muslces...if its any consolation, ive been working out for 5 years, and now is when im noticing my triceps starting to curve..its just genetics...everyone has a stubborn body part...good luck

Some people have solved this problem by doing pre - exhaust, super sets and other high intensity techiques.
You can try starting your chest workout with dumbbell presses.
Use dumbbells which will enable you doing 6 - 10 reps and make sure to go to complete failure - stop the set only when it's impossible to do one more rep.
Concentrate on tensing your muscles and pay attention to lower the weight slowly since eccentric part of the motion is very important and has more impact on muscle damage.
Immediately after you finish the set move onto bench presses.
Make sure that you use a lot lighter weight(maybe 30%) then you normally do and perform another set to failure.
Do not perform more then two sets in this way and keep the number of total sets you perform to 8-10.

If you want your chest to grow...

go get some Weider Androstene and pop about 15 of them a day. You'll be sporting d's in no time.

HEY BRO I TRAIN MY CHEST ON MON, WED, AND FRI (FOR FOOTBALL MAINLY) BUT STILL I DO PROBABLY ABOUT 15-16 TOTAL SETS AND HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 2 MONTHS OR SO AND FOR ME...MY STRENGTH IS SHOT OFF THE HOOK AND MY TIGHTNESS AND SIZE HAS WENT UP ALOT. I THINK ITS JUST WHAT THE OTHERS HAVE SAID IF THAT MANY SETS DONT WORK FOR YOU THEN OVERTRAINING AS FAR AS SETS ARE CONCERNED MAYBE A PROBLEM BECAUSE WORKING OTHER BODYPARTS ALSO USE THE CHEST EVEN TO A MINIMUM BUT STILL THAT COULD PUSH YOU INTO AN "OVERTRAINED STATE" IF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE AT ALL. I JUST KNOW THAT SINCE IVE BEEN DIONG THAT FOR ME I HAVE FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING THAT WORKS...KEEP EXPERIMENTING AND YOULL FIND SOMETHING AND THEN YOULL BLOW UP. I MAKE SURE MY TECHNIQUE IS EXCELLENT SO THAT I WILL NOT HAVE ANY EXCUSES OR "WONDERS" AS TO WHY ITS NOT WORKING. I ALSO HAVE SPOT HELP SO THAT I CAN GET THAT EXTRA MILE ENDURANCE FOR FUTURE WORKOUTS. ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT IS WORKING FROM ME AND SO IM JUST SAYING YOULL FIND SOMETHING SO DONT GET DOWN AND KEEP LIFTING I MEAN YOU CANT BE STUPID OTHER WISE YOU WOULDNT HAVE ASKED FOR HELP. KEEP LIFTING HARD MAN AND GOOD LUCK...IM SURE IT WILL COME. TAKE CARE

Try H.I.T bro, it means high intensity training, It is very adaptive, Just because something works for me does not mean it will work for every one. iT IS A basic concept that you can change up to work best for you, here is a site that will help http://www.cycberpump.com They do have a tendancy to look down at steriod use like it is cheating but that does not make the training info any less true, Check it out Bro it works

My chest is weak in comparison to the rest of my body and wouldnt grow for awhile, but I tried a workout by shawn ray, its pretty simple basically you do five sets of 12 reps on say incline and five sets of 12 reps on flys and then maybe some dips, this made my chest blow up pretty good.
