chest workout,share you best effective way!

I don't do any decline work but rather weighted dips instead. I like them a lot more, and they are pretty much interchangeable.
Any specific reason for that? I did weighted dips for long time but later when I started bulking I couldn't do more than 4 or 5 reps with weight.

Personal preference, I just like the movement more. It is actually my main push/chest movement in my training, I swapped out flat bench for weighted dips several months ago and I love it.
 
I do decline and incline db work as well as weighted dips using either plates or even heavy chains on my neck. Flys also are in my grab bag of workout tricks too!
 
Chest is my only body part that Is sore the next day still.
My chest almost always feels worked the next day, but doesn't feel sore until the 2nd day after. Then again, I'd say my chest is the hardest part of my body, next to my shoulders to encourage growth.

On my current cycle, I've dropped legs entirely, mainly because I'm pinning my quads for the first time and there's no good day during the week that I am pain free enough to do squats and presses (I suspect that will change as my quads get used to it). But it gave me a second day to devote to chest, so I'm doing a heavy/low rep lift day, and 3-4 days later a lighter, high rep day. Hopefully changing it up will help shock my chest into new growth this time, as well as letting my body devote all of its resources to upper body recovery.

It's funny, without having worked my legs at all in two weeks, my ass is in better shape then before I started my cycle. So yes, everything grows whether spot working or not. Frankly I get tired of people volunteering how "great" my legs look, and then my chest looks "good" only when I inquire LOL. I was fine before I started working out at Golds, but the body proportions are so out of whack there, I'm more obsessed than ever!
 
Years ago leg training was non existent in my work out program. Over the last year I kill legs one-sometimes two times a week. It has made all the difference in my overall strength and size. I put a lot of emphasis on squats (form/depth) and don't know why I never did before.

Oh, I'm not suggesting anybody neglect their legs. They are at the core of overall development. However, I've been working legs as hard as anybody for over 20 years, but my upper body has lagged behind the whole time. The same is true on every cycle I've done, until now.

What I'm saying is I'm getting tired of these guys who come into the gym with massive upper bodies and tiny little legs. It's either genetic, or they are neglecting their legs along the way, without any kind of detrimental impact to their upper body size. I definitely do not want to look like that, but they are clearly on gear, and I can't help but think that's helped re-shape them like that.

I'm not cutting out legs altogether on this cycle, jut postponing concentrating on them until my quads feel better, so maybe adding them in on the backside of my cycle. I'm still doing deadlifts. But overall, I'm going lighter/high reps with legs.
 
I can't figure out for the life of me why I never squatted up until
This year. Just stupidity I guess. My legs have actually surpassed the growth development I've ever expected and are developing faster then my chest. Guys that are "top heavy" look retarded.
 
I'm pretty sure its the negatives on fly machine but I do 4 sets x12. Halfway through set I do 3 seconds each way. So six seconds per rep. I can feel the fibers tearing each time. Chest is the only muscle group that is stillsore two days after . I do
Incline dumbbell 4x 8-10
Cable flys 4x 10
Machine press 3x 12
Machine fly 4 x 12.
The burn w machine fly is last and really finalizes the workout.
 
I hit the incline first then go to flat bb. I dropped the decline s a while back for dips. After the dips I go for the flys and finish with 3 sets of push ups to failure. I rotate on heavy and moderate between chest days.
 
Heavy flat bench to start,
Incline 4 sets of 12-15 reps with 90 seconds rest
Weighted dips 4 sets
Lightweight Cable fly's or dumbbell fly's done very slowly just to stretch and get a pump
dumbbell pull overs with two dumbbell's

This is what I did for chest twice this week and it worked out great. I'm on a push/pull right now so I also do my overhead pressing and triceps with this.
 
I do

25 reps on Flat Bench maybe @265
25 reps Incline @ 225
25 reps Flat Dumbell @ 100 (my gym only has dbs up to 100)
it has worked well enough for me

I have to point out that I have never done a cycle so If my results are good I figure any results with roids would be greater than mine.

Looks good, with gear you can add quite a bit more volume and recover from it easier. You can also cut down your resting periods significantly. I have since added more sets to dips and incline bb and also added in incline db to the above workout I posted. And I have been cutting down my resting periods weekly, I time them. Also increasing weight. I also hit shoulders and triceps on the same day, twice a week push workout.

I would like to run some gear but I find my self thinking I'm too young to start a cycle. I'm not too sure what the right age has to be since I am only 20.
 
Let that endocrine system fully develop!! You'll be happy you waited a few more years.

I also had my levels tested a couple months ago just to try to flirt with the idea.

they came back as
1175 ng/dl total test
258 pg/ml free test

I have no clue what they mean as my doctor did not state anything other than they were normal...

depending on the reference range, that means you are rocking my friend, soak it up while you can. I wish I could baseline 1200 without injections!

Chest for me is:

Decline Bench 3 sets
Fly Machine 3 sets
Inc Hammer 3 sets
10 reps weight increase on each set, failure on last set, + 3 rest pause or a few assisted. Heavy as you can stand it and still stimulate effectively. Add weight or reps every week.
