Jeff ur exercises are great and everything but one thing stands out; ur chest is underdeveloped compared to ur back, delts and arms. and its not only u but all of the people in ur testimonials. They seem to lose a lot of fat and beef up but the chest always seems to be the lagging part. I think u should revise the chest section of ur program. Unfortunately i already got the athlean x program before realising this. however videos like this one give me hope for my chest. I am starting next week

Hey man. it's difficult to tell if something's wrong without seeing you workout but hopefully this will help somewhat. It's important to make sure you are arching your back and retracting the shoulders as you bench press to engage the chest properly. You could try adding flat guillotine press or other things like incline dumbell flys and dips. Also, you can't see upper chest if your body fat % is not low enough, so maybe that is something too. The hardest muscle gains vary from person to person.

well do you think you might be overtraining. there are sighns liek extreme soreness nd such. anyawys i had the same problem as you when i joned football. first of no only certain workouts can -stun your growth- and by that i mean no it wont stop you from growing but shave a couple cm from the height you were naturally going to grow into(depending how much and how heavy you lift during certain workouts-. anyways changing your workout routine every 2weeks is unneccesary. maybe every month or

That full chest look is more associated with sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, which is what you're doing when you use typical muscle building rep ranges, somewhere around 8-12. However, if you look at strength lifters, they use 3-5 reps per set instead. This myofibrular hypertrophy creates a denser and harder looking chest instead of that swollen look. So you could try training your chest with bench press using 4 or 5 reps per set and going heavier, rather than 10 reps. I hope this is of some help.

It's really up to you but if you want another opinion maybe waiting until 16 to begin lifting weights is good. At your age, using body weight exercises is perfect. So push-ups, dips, pull-ups etc. (if you have no pull up bar you could use dumbells for a bent over rows. Intake enough protein in your diet too. Build a strong, solid foundation with body weight movements and when you hit 16 and start lifting weights you will get a HUGE boost in results due to hormones and general development.

According to research by scientists, it encourages futher tears in muscle fibres but not as much when working at high intensity. It causes the muscles to adapt to the stress that is being applied on it. I've done this sort of research in uni and have sufficient background to strength and conditioning. The common mistake people make is that they dont use the the 4 main principles of training and it is recomended that people should work out at least an hour for 5 days.

But if your chest has gained than have no worries because everbody has bodyparts that grow with little to no stimulation and other bodyparts that dont grow as fast like for me if i could transfer my glute genetics because they grow so fast to my biceps and triceps belive me i would. But a good rule of thumb ifs dont train a bodypart more than 2 times a week execpt for endurance muscles like forarms calfs and abs which can be trained 3 times and show progress.

Thanks for the response. Much appreciated! I'm going to switch to that 4-5 rep range. Over the last several years, I've done around 9 reps per set, primarily on an incline bench, to get the focus on my upper pecs and less on the central area, hoping for a little less of a rounded pec.
Will start doing the 4-5 rep range now. It's cutting season for me at the moment, so my strength has taken a hit, but I'm gonna try and still hit some heavy weight per set.

It's cause there is to many people going in to these exercises not understanding what they are doing, working. and what they can achieve if done correctly, i can't fret more about the endless times i see people in my gym who perform exercises wrong or do exercises to bare minimum taking excessive rests inbetween and still whinging about not seeing results. Diet, exercising and sleep are key but generally without UNDERSTANDING these key things become void. >

I'm 14 and I lift weights at my house. I have a bench, and dumbells, with no access to a gym that is close-by. I probably weigh in at about 135 to 140 lbs. Should I be lifting weights at this age or should I wait till I am about 18 to 20? Also, what are some other exercises I can do at home to get a little bigger, because I'm a skinny person, with not a whole lot of muscle mass, some, but not as much as I want. Are there any tips that you can give me?
