Any tips for building chest? I eat about 6 chicken breasts a day and sleep 7.5 hours + hit chest 2 times per week.

My chest kinda blew up this semester cause i started doing dips as a warmup and finisher, focusing on lower chest. the stretch is immaculate and so is the squeeze.

As a D1 athlete, you do NOT need to be eating 6 chicken breasts a day. Of course it’s super healthy and great for achieving goals. But bro 6 chicken breasts a day is fucking ridiculous. This hyperfixation on putting protein in everything needs to be stopped I swear 😭

Start any sort of day where you would usually hit chest and do it first, starting with a pec deck is a good way to hit the whole chest and then moving to something like an incline or tnf press is best for your clavicular head to get some extra growth that’s all you really need tbh

What are you doing for chest? Exercise, sets, reps, rest between sets

3 sets of flat bench to failure: usually try to keep it around 4-7 reps. Warmup with bar and 135 3 sets of incline pec flies with machine. 6-9 reps

Oooo that sounds rly good. Would you recommend going to failure for either warmup or for finisher?

Warmup 10-15 reps leave fuel in the tank, just tryna get shoulder mobility and blood flowing 2-3 sets. at the end get as much rest as u have time for between sets and go to failure. if ur doing more than 10 reps with body weight at the end then add some weight to get the reps down to the 5-6 range for real volume. also maintain strict form with deep stretch will help prevent shoulder injuries

I will say that if you want your chest to explode, a machine isolation exercise is probably your best bet. I pretty much only do pec dec and I'm very happy with my chest. Same sets and reps as you, 2-3 sets and 4-8 reps. I rest 3 mins between each set

You're probably already doing this too, but make sure you're going to failure, and if failure is past 8 reps, raise the weight

Ok wait let me clarify, if the six chicane breasts are the only protein sources you’re having, that’s not as bad. But I’m sure you’re having eggs for breakfast, protein shakes, as well which also good! But if you start eating like 250-300 grams of protein (at your current weight) bro you’re gonna have so many problems in the future. Go slow with muscle development, your organs will thank you for the rest of your long, prosperous life :)

Thanks for the tip! Yeah so on days that I actually eat 6 chicken breasts I don’t eat any other protein. I usually eat 4 if I have eggs for breakfast. I don’t do protein shakes
