Hello, I have a really lagging muscle which is the chest. I find it is one of my weakest muscle groups, I want more fullness, I have been doing incline to make the upper chest more fuller,I agree you cant target parts of muscles. when I do side chest it is dropping, I find my right side chest is more worse.

Are you eating at a calorie surplus? That's the only way to really grow muscles. If you bulk, you'll grow all over, chest included!0

I cant wait to bulk, my bulk did not go great, the cut has been on and off due to injuries etc. I have been training serious for a couple months.1 -
I gained an inch and a half on my chest while in a deficit. I trained chest twice a week for six weeks, and followed a structured program. Look up AthleneX on You Tube. He has a lot of good tips, tricks, etc.1

I train chest twice a week, I do dumbbell incline, I try focusing on squeezing the muscle rather weight. I will check that out thanks.0 -

For pec size and strength, use resistance bands with a flat bench press. Bodybuilders I know use bands from either Rouge or Elitefts. For some years it was thought to be Bro Science, but legit studies found adding resistance band works. Depending on what you press, and where from 20-40 lbs of resistance at the top of your press.

My chiro has been telling me to stop training chest because mine is too freaky and tight. hah.
Flat bench, DB press, fly's (db and/or machine), machine presses, etc. Variations of those.
Focusing on the "squeeze" is great, but weight is important too. Progressive overload as they say.
I like to start with more of a strength movement - flat bench usually. Then I work my way down to DB's, then machines. Usually end with some drop sets.
Not sure if you're saying you just do incline DB press? If that is the case, add more stuffs.1 -
Don't just stick to barbell bench. Dumbell bench, fly's, etc. I may start with flat bench, followed by fly's/pushup superset. Then incline or decline dumbbell press, etc. If I start with flat barbell bench one session, I'll start with incline or decline the next. Same with dumbbell press. I don't believe in doing the same routine every session, unless you are following a specific program. Same goes for any muscle group.1

Hey man. I had a similar issue myself. I scraped my current chest routine at the time and tried something different. I starting doing decline bench press and dumbbell presses along with a chest press machine. That's it. No flat bench no incline. I used pyramid sets to begin with then as the strength came I started lifting 5*5 and maximum weight for 3 reps at the end of my normal 5*5 sets. I did that 2-3 times a week (I train full body). My chest exploded in a matter of 5 months! Dense muscle fibres, not fluid. I've been training my chest this way ever since. I've add fly's for sculpturing. This method works. Also training chest 2-3 times a week forces your chest to heal faster therefore rapid growth. Good luck man.0

Flat bench until your arms fall off.0

I don't do barbells, I have issues with my shoulder. My workout are varied skills sometimes depending on how I feel that day.0 -

The only thing I don't with decline is my head feels weird light headed. It's also harder to get the dumbbell in position in the decline0
