If you're struggling to develop a larger chest, it's time to look a little more in-depth at how you're training.
Often, guys will use the bench press as their "go-to" exercise for a bigger chest.. and while the bench is a great upper body compound exercise, it will never isolate your chest... hence the word "compound".
But this is because of the origination and insertion points of the muscle heads in your chest. The middle chest, also known as the sternal head, is the part that you typically are trying to build when benching. But the issue with benching, is it doesn't allow for full range of motion (full ROM) or a peak contraction due to your hands being in a fixed position on the bar.
Whereas, if you jump over to the dumbbells, you will be able to get more chest gains. This is because dumbbells not only allow you to flare your elbows out as wide as possible to get a stretch on the pectoral muscle, but also allow you to bring your elbows together to get the peak contraction at the top.
