I dont know what it is with my chest but it seems to be miles behind all other body parts no matter what I do. I could at one stage comfortably bench 120Kgs with good form but it didnt do much, seemed on bench to attack my shoulders more than my chest. I admit at the time I was more lean although I was heavier overall but my diet was awful and I didnt train legs. Any ideas on what I can do to make it grow. I think flys or pec dec maybe the way forward but Im not too sure. Im now back in training and have done probably 5 out of the last 6 weeks solid and can see changes all over especially with the new diet and the legs along the way but my chest just seems to stay how it is.

Heavy doesnt mean stimulation and growth

as you say, the 120kg was hammering delts, chest isnt going to grow from that

Nor will it grow from 1 rep maxes and very low reps like it will with pure recruitment on a lower weight at higher reps.

5-6 weeks is not long enough to see tangible changes IMO

2 years is a good starting point to add slabs of muscle which will stay on what is one of the major muscle groups

get a reo range to build muscle
get the exercises you feel in the chest yet abide by basic compounds
employ progressive overload
eat in a calorie surplus
be patient

flat bench
inlcine DBs
Dips
+
1 isolation

is a good starting point over 12 sets

6-12 reps and then start finding how to progress from there

Thanks mate, the trouble is I know 6 weeks Im not going to see much change but before the 2 years out Id trained solid for 4 years building up from 40 Kgs to around 100-120. My chest still dodnt seem to grow. the mo mo Im trying to do:

3 Sets Flat Bench around 60-70Kgs
3 Sets Incline Dumb Bells
3 Sets Pec Dec

Hopefully the diet will help me out. As for dips, I used to do them on at the end of chest and triceps sessions, although how do you perform a dip where it uses more chest than tri ?? Probably a stupid question but do you lean further forward if you know what I mean !!
