The desire for a bigger, better-developed chest is perhaps the greatest motivator for men to strength train. It somehow symbolizes heroism and male virility. Women, too, can benefit from chest training. Although it won't increase the size of your breasts (they are mostly fat tissue), it will create the appearance of a fuller and more shapely chest.

Strong chest muscles are advantageous in many sports. These muscles are involved in all forward and upward-reaching actions �e.g. in rugby tackling and grabbing an opponent- and are also used in throwing and hitting movements - e.g. during forehand drives in tennis and squash; when throwing the ball overhead in netball, basketball and volleyball; and throwing the discus, shot-put and javelin. A strong chest is also advantageous in swimming (breaststroke) and several gymnastic disciplines.

What's considered a good bulking diet? Just starting to take my diet more serious and could do with some help especially when I'm struggling with my chest.

heres one that states mid/lower but when your doing decline bench press you can feel/see your lower peck muscles contracting also

I don't know how else I can prove it lol

wide grip dips are also a good lower peck workout.

What i mean is that the pec insertion just under the scalpula will take the load regardless of the position of your arm, meaning you cannot isolate lower, middel or upper chest, it's myth. Incline will will bring the fron delt into play more.



ISOLATING THE PECS IS A MYTH IMO.

Yes, trying to isolate the upper pecs doing inclined bench presses I see my front delts work a lot and start looking as if I did delts routine
