the 'V'

I am struggling to get the V at the top of my chest, i know i am carrrying a bit of excess body fat at the mo but the rest of the chest seems to be coming on ok, nice 'swoop' at the bottom, it just looks a bit flat at the top.

Currently i train chest as follows

Start - upper chest - olympic bar,
  • 1st set 10 reps
  • 2nd set up the weight 8 reps
  • 3rd set up the weight again 8 reps, then drop for 2 more sets straight after each other
flat press with the olympic bar
  • 1st set, 10 reps
  • 2nd set, up weight 8 reps
  • 3rd set, up weight 8 reps
de-cline press dumbells

same sets as flat

Cable flys to finish, but hold and nip as i bring them in

Any suggestions peeps

Re: the 'V'

chest program seems ok. hitting the right areas, not overtraining etc. diet is clean i assume? how far behind is your incline press compared to your flat press when it comes to strength?

* 1st set 10 reps

* 3rd set up the weight again 8 reps, then drop for 2 more sets straight after each other
so you are doing 5 total sets? try cutting out the drops as you may be slightly overtraining your upper chest. that or cut out flat bench?

im probably not the best one to help with these specifics as i focus on weight loss with my clients, rather than body shape specifics, but after re-reading your routine you are doing 14 sets instead of the 12 max you should do for any area of your body.

Re: the 'V'

Ok cheers, i just put the drop set in on the incline to try and boost the upper chest, this is why is also train upper first.
I am usually about 20kg lighter on incline than i am flat

Re: the 'V'

Incline flyes first brought mine out, concentrate on adding thickness to the upper chest though and it will come.
