Genetics and pec split
I work my chest 2x week, Monday and Thursday. Monday is the entire chest –flat bench, incline bench, flat and incline flys, and upper and lower cable crossovers. Thursday is only incline for upper chest. How do bodybuilders develop that split in the middle of the pec?
You want a healthy and productive change. Don’t be sorry to give the bench and incline press a long rest. Flat and incline dumbbell presses are safer on the shoulders and more productive in developing and shaping the shoulder and chest region.
Don’t overwork the muscle areas with too many exercises. Be particular and focused and intense with those you choose, and rotate them with a cool combination of thoughtfulness and intuition. Single cable crossovers are my favorite, contracting all parts of each pec according to body position in relation to the pulley — leaning forward more or less, the crossover groove of the arm, the focus of muscle engagement.
Flys work; choose only one at a time to avoid head and time and muscle overload.
Throw forward-leaning dips into the weekly workout scheme, on arm or back or shoulder days for additional pec attention.
Remember, muscle development follows a genetic blueprint. Another thing, don’t look at the charged physiques displayed in the muscle mags for a real impression of male and female development. They are displays more than functioning, hard working and on-the-spot bodies.
Thanks for the kind words and support… God’s strength… Dave
