How can I get a bigger chest ?

[Cabra]

I have been working out for years and am having a tough time developing a decent sized chest.
Any recommendations ?
My typical chest workout consits of:

3 sets incline barbell: 10,8,6 reps
3 sets incline dumbell fly: 10,8,6 reps
3 sets flat bench Hammer Strength: 10,8,6 reps
Finish with dips or cables.

Thanks,

Cabra

Try going heavy for awhile. Try to get 4-6 reps@ 6 sets for the first chest exercise. For the second try to get 6-8 reps @ 5 sets. Third set do 8-10 reps and do 3-4 sets. It appears you might not be doing enough work to get the chest to grow. Also consider doing db presses or weighted dips first in the routine.

1)Do more compound movements - 5 sets(incline barbell) heavy.

with this routine you will probably never develop your chest .

only 12-15 sets ????

I had the same problem and when I started doing 20 - 25 sets for chest , including compound movements and drop sets my chest startet to grow a LOT

I disagree. Everyone is different. To me 20-25 sets is overtraing. I do 10-12 and quite honestly after that I'm completely shot...couldn't even think about doing another set. It's all about intensity

I agree with gilly - there's no way that I could do 20-25 sets for chest. If you can do 25 sets of chest then you aren't doing your first 10 sets with any intensity.

I will however agree with compound movements and drop sets.
