Increase the size of my pecs

[headFirst]

I've been working out pretty hard lately, and off and on over the year, I get pretty toned but my pecs seem to be defined more towards the lower portion of them but higher up I'd like them to puff out a lot more. Any suggesstion? I got a pre-workout C4, and I'm hoping to use this to increase my max.. but a lot of times i just pick a weight I can handle but struggling a bit and do this with 8 reps... about 6 or 7 times throughout my workout.. I also do flys the same way too..

Should I be hitting a hard max? or what do you guys do.. I also use the static machine a lot because i normally go by myself and don't like benching without a spotter.

I agree with Espi, Flat Bench and Incline Bench will build your chest. I like to stay away from machines though when it comes to compound movements. When you bench with a barbell, you have hold and balance the bar and fight against gravity. VS a machine you just press...

Like Espi also said you only need to do chest 1-2 times a week. If your doing 4x8 on flat bench you need to do the same for incline, keep it even. You will want to lift heavy but, dont overdue it and injure yourself.

Sleep at least 8 hours, eat enough food/protein/carbs, and get enough rest.

The answer is rarely to workout more.

I like to do three sets on a standard bench, then use the smith for two sets taking me to failure. I don't know why I find this helps, but it does. For me at least. Experiment with your routine a little.
