Chest Help.

Lennox497

Hey everyone. I have been lifting for the past year and have seen great progress, but not quite the reults I am looking for. I have never been really big. Always fell into the skinny guy category and in my late 20's skinny fat. Right now I feel pretty good about were my fitness level is, but I am hoping to gain some insight on building a larger chest. And yes a larger back too. Looking for the symmetry.

I'm not sure if I'm just being impatient, not resting enough inbetween or not eating enough expecially carbs.

I read many different articles over the past year , but was hoping for an opinion/advice from the MFP community.

Stats:
6ft.
167 lbs.
30 yrs old

Current calorie target 2430
protein intake around 200g per day

Lift some damn heavy *kitten* weights! Stick to compound movements and do VOLUME training. For chest and back do 4 sets of 8-12 reps and do at least 4 exercises for each with good intensity. Make sure to get enough rest between exercise days and eat up in surplus.

Summed up what I was gonna say, it sounds to me like you're looking for hypertrophy rather than strength. Definitely do your dips and bench presses.
