My Chest Cant Grow?

[krbn08]

uhmm...I don't think biceps are going to help you bench more. How 'bout posting your form? Are you a typical elbow-flared shoulder pressing bencher? Do you perform 90deg barbell rows, and contract your lats?

A proper bench press should have your elbows ~45 deg to your body, should hit around lower chest/sternum area. Pull the bar into yourself, tighten up your lats/tri's, then explode back out. Just focus on adding a few lbs to the bar each week on each lift, your chest will catch up.

IMHO he would be better served by squatting three times a week, instead of benching... Mon, flat bench, wed, overhead press, fri, incline press

It's mostly for the triceps to get stronger, but yes when your holding the bar

for the bench your entire arm is holding it Bicep and all.
