If you're getting more cut, do you mean that you're losing a little bit of weight? What's the scale doing? Going up? Going down? If the latter, don't expect ANY muscle to start blowing up.
If the scale's going up, but your chest just isn't growing, post your current routine, and post what you've been doing for the past few months.

Chest size is largely genetic. For the most part, DNA dictates what part of your chest grows. There are a few things I would do to make gains on the inner chest (although you won't be able to target the inner chest exclusively):
Dumbbell flies
Cable Crossovers
Bring in your grip on the bench press
Holding the two fly motions at the top of the rep help me with putting a little more emphasis on the inner chest.
That said, if bench press is the only thing you do for chest, your routine might need modification.

EAT MORE AND KEEP LIFTING AND BECOMING STRONGER. i doubt your chest will stay the same size then. flat bench and incline bench.

use your current pressing routine, or use 5x5 but throw in six 5 second negatives (1x5) at the end. you might not have enough negative work. don't go exclusively to doing negatives but you might be able to throw that on the end where your set of 6 is after going down to 2 reps. small tweak, but it could be the piece thats missing. without watching you bench, I'd be hard pressed to revamp your whole routine, it might be something small.
definitely drop the flyes though. waste of time and too hard on the shoulders IMO.

If you've got a digital cam w/ video you could tape it and post it up. I've done it a few times (feels goofy to tape lifts at teh gym) and it's paid off fantastically. I honeestly think I improved my squat by 50 or more pounds b/c someone pointed out a seemingly minor technique issue that I wasn't aware of.GOLUAN said:
