Hey, what's up guys?
I'm Scott from muscularstrength.com and a lot of you have been asking me about how to build a bigger lower chest
So in today's video. I'm not going to only answer your question, but also give you the best solution
for having a lagging chest in general now most people
automatically think the solution is to go right to an exercise that specifically targets the lower chest or
Places more emphasis on it
But what happens when you just perform a movement like a decline bench press or a cable high-to-low fly?
Yeah, you might be placing a bit more emphasis on the lower chest
But will it result in more growth for that round big and thick look that you're trying to go for
Well, that's what we're going to determine in today's video

Alright guys so back to the question on hand I'm about to explain a concept about chest growth that when you hear it your mind
Is gonna be blown the real issue at hand when it comes to chest growth and even I have been a victim of this is
That we know there are exercises out there that can help
Target the lower chest more and because we know this we tend to gravitate toward those exercises to try to build more muscle
But what if I were to tell you that knowing there are chest exercises the target the lower chest more is
Actually the reason why your overall chest growth is lagging pretty crazy alright
Take a look at the chest guys
It's a big area
And it's considered one of the bigger muscle groups in your upper body
So when you train with an exercise like a decline bench press which changes the entire range of motion of a traditional benchpress?
Which is the reason why it can be more lower chest dominant? What is it that you're actually doing?
Well what you're actually doing is instead of utilizing the traditional version of the movement
Which is the flat dumbbell bench press which activates the entire chest for maximum muscle damage and regrowth
You're now decreasing overall chest activation with a tiny bit more emphasis on the lower part of the chest in
Fact guys the majority of you will probably get more of a pump in your triceps
From a decline bench press than you would in your chest so guys just because an exercise places more emphasis
On the lower chest doesn't mean the lower chest
Activation is over 9,000 on that exercise all right in fact the extra activation on the lower chest is quite
miniscule at best in terms of growth when compared to the standard benchpress
Think about it like this as well the lower chest doesn't necessarily get bigger because the lower part of the chest is bigger guys
It's not how it works
What actually creates a bigger lower chest is the?
Overall size of the entire chest this means that the bigoted chest is in general
The bigger your lower chest is going to look so what's the solution?
Well instead of jumping around to four or five different exercises
stick with 10 to 15 sets of 6 to 8 repetitions of a flat dumbbell press
Wrestling only 60 to 90 seconds max between sets and perform this routine for your chest workouts two to three times a week
Max wrestling at least two days between workouts obviously for recovery if you're not letting your body recover
It'll never grow and if even after doing that you still feel like you need to target the lower chest more
even with all that volume then add three to five sets of a decline dumbbell press or a
High to low cable fly to further activate the lower chest area when it's already
pre
Exhausted from the 10 to 15 sense of the flat dumbbell bench press that you did
Most people tend to think they should do decline first at their chest is lagging, but this is wrong guys
It's actually better to Train the lagging area once
It's pre exhausted because you'll be able to recruit more layton muscle fibers in that
Area because a tired chest will have to work harder to complete more sets this way muscle growth
Remember guys you're much better off utilizing more volume of fewer
Exercises that break down the most muscle for regrowth then adding in more useless exercises and less sets per exercise
Like we talked about in my video three sets per exercise is killing your gains, and if you haven't seen that video yet
