The Secret to a Sculpted Chest (bench press alone won’t cut it)

Building a fully sculpted chest can often seem to be a willow-wisp dream, but there is a substantial ‘secret’ to make it reality.

The reason a fully sculpted chest is so hard to achieve (naturally, ahem) is that doing the standard exercises (bench press, incline press, dumbbell press) will only take you so far, because they fail to include the full range of motion of the chest muscles themselves.

Thus, even with consistent workouts, you can end up with a toned middle chest area, but flabby/minimally toned outside pecs and inner pecs.

The missing ingredient and secret here — you *must* include chest exercises that move your hands across the center line of your chest!

With that, you then must stress the three main chest fiber directions. That basically means cable cross-overs x3!

To fully activate/build all your chest fibers, you have to cross the center line of your chest…that’s part of the function of your chest muscles. Standard chest exercises that are the staple for most people at the gym today, fail to include that aspect.
