How do you guys put emphasis on certain parts...

[kentucky]

i read someones workout that said 'emphasis on chest'.... what does this mean... My guess is more exercises, but I just wanted to know for sure.



#2, how can I emphasise the lower pecs?

#2 - what do you mean by "lower pecs?"

#1 - you emphasize body parts by how you position your body during the move. For example: Good-mornings are great for the low back and hams, but bent-leg goodmornings emphasize the hams, while straight-leg good mornings emphasize the low back.

chris - and why do people want/need to do that? Not trying to start any sh*t, it's just that I've heard people talk about "lower pecs" and I don't understand.

Chris - Okay, the fog is lifting. Thanks!

A muscle contracts from insertion to insertion, and all of it contracts at once. You can, by doing incline, emphasis the clavicular or sternal head of the pectoralis, but you cannot emphasis different parts of one head. Capiche?

Yep, all or none principle.

Actually I was wanting to know about this, b/c a guy told me to do chest-cable crosses, to 'emphasize' the lower pecs. I didn't ask him to elaborate, b/c he seemed like a know-it-all :rolleye

I always thought cable crosses, were shit compared to flies.
