How to get that divide between pecs?

[Natorgator]

Hey guys,

I have a pretty developed chest and I am fairly strong for my size and weight. However, my lower chest is a lot more developed than my upper, and I want to get that divide between my pecs to go all the way up to my collar bone. What should I do to get that? Someone told me incline flyes and inclinde DB, is that true?

Thanks..

Takes time. Keep lifting hard. Results don't come overnight.

Listen to gmanlax too bro. Genetics.

two of the best excersizes to get it is peck flies and cable cross overs.

some have it, most dont.. Franco's was the best

 

[gmanlax7]

there are certain exercises that will get it for you, you just have to push yourself and attain a very full, muscular chest with low bf%

what i mean is doing cable flies for a few months won't result in a great chest, gotta pack on the muscle and fullness

ok ill bite

how does incline db's give you that line, that great pec seperation?

what is so special, is it the incline or the db part ?

 

[Lee]

incline DB press doesnt because it only concentrates on the top part of the peck. you have to develop the entire peck to get that line, if it is possible for you to get one.

Incline DB Hammer Fly's are my fav..

Moving your arms with elbows bent outward, move them out like in a stretch like motion, when you get your arms down near your upper chest, you will feel a stretch like burn in around your outer upper chest area, then as you follow up make sure the barbell is facing like you would a bench press and touch the two barbells together, but not over your head, just a tad more in front, I would say 1-2 feet in front of your face.

This gets the upper part of your chest on the outside and near the top. And develops a cut like separation sporadically towards the collar area of the upper chest and near the shoulder areas in the front. I have had great success with them, try them out for a bit, just be sure to use good form or you could blow out your shoulders, and you dont need allot of weight for these, they burn like mad.

Yeah, I actually did those tonight in my workout...except I did them with palms facing in. I'll try them facing forward and see how it feels.

Im going to have to pull the diet/low bf% card out on this one. I think you can do flyes/crossovers/whatever all day long, but if your diet sucks/have a high bf% it is going to be real, real hard to see any sort of separation. Sorta like abs, you can have great abdominal development, but if it is covered by a layer of "insulation" you arent going to see the six pack. My chest is one of my strong points, but due to a higher bf% then normal it doesnt look nearly as solid nor separated as it does when I cut down.

 

[JollyRogers]

Very true, diet "eating right" is the first factor when wanting to see any definition what so ever on your body, but genes and metabolism are key players as well in this game, not so much that it plays a major hindering role, those factors can all be overcomed, there just needs to be a balance within it all to achieve the level you want.

It’s up to the individual to focus on those aspects, and with time, you will be where you want. Now I’m going to bed. It’s late.

Well most people have some kind of division there, at least when they do a most muscular pose. Anyway, it'll be more pronounced when you have a lot more chest mass. Therefore, cable crossovers and flyes are out as these do little to build mass. So what are they good for? Fucking up shoulders. Moving on, low bodyfat is obviously another essential.

Exactly.

Heavy Incline Barbell Presses

Don't kid yourself or fool around with cable crossovers or flies. If an underdeveloped upper chest is what you have than heavy incline barbell pressing is what you must be doing.

PM me in three months when your exploding.

GMan....one of us hate to bit on this one man. You beat me to it.

 

[gymtime]

He already said he had a developed chest. He's looking for the sternum line between the pecs. That's diet...a bodyfat control issue. All the heavy inclines in the world won't give him that.

You hit it right on the head.

There are so many similar questions like this all the time. Like; "How do I lengthen my triceps" "How can I make my calves ...."

Exercise and diet can only do so much. You can not change the shape of how your muscles form. No one has the exact same muscle fiber 'placement'

You must have muscle in the region before you can achieve the great split.
