| I think personally its good NOT to have a fixed routine, keep switching exercises and angles.
You cannot flex one part of your chest on its own and it is one muscle, pectoralis major (I know there is also a mectoralis minor which is not a muscle which is on show), some people have a naturally thick upper chest, lower chest, tall/long pecs, wide pecs and that is all down to genetics.
I know some guys with great genetics who are lucky enough to have pecs that just grow no matter what they seem to do, they have pretty solid unaltering routines and don't need to worry about it bcos their genetics pull them thru. For the rest of us I think variation is the key and train till your pecs are gonna burst and if you can bear moving your arms or anyone touching your pecs in the days that follow your chest workout then you haven't trained hard enough.
I believe in drop sets too to hit the fast and slow twitch fibres, I also think flat or incline dumbell presses give an added difficulty to pressing movements and cause the pecs to have to work to a higher degree. Dips are great if your body is at the right angle and flat bench will always be the daddy of upper body strength movements but angles and variation are the key to huge pecs (in my opinion of course). |
