chest day update

[The Dude]

lol and yet my chest doesnt grow bc of genes.......... I always do the cables towards the end of chest days like crossovers and the one that you make the shape of an upside down 'V' starting at hips and going up to infront of face w hands supinated

You sound like me. I used to get up to 365 on the incline for 10 and fill the entire Hammer Strength machines plus hang 25's from the handles. Eventually I learned to focus only on the chest and take almost all the front delt out of it. On top of that I pre exhaust. My chest has improved greatly, but won't ever be like Nuk or Chris or Presser's due to my genes. I rarely get injured now and training is more enjoyable.

so I should lower the weight and try to feel the squeeze more I guess

That's my suggestion. I actually watch my pecs contract as I do my movements. I'll even reposition my arms to keep as close as 100% of the tension on the pecs regardless of weight. Weight is a tool. Your chest is lagging but you're moving huge weight. That sounds like a recipe for a tear.
I would dust the 22 year old me on stage, but I'm no where near as close to as strong. Not even close.
