Four Weeks To A Bigger Chest




Life is an endless battle between what you want and what you need.


You may want to drive around in a Ferrari 458 Italia to pick up chicks, but all you need is a car that takes you to the Ha-Ha Hut to and from your work busing tables.


You want to bring a bikini-clad Kate Upton to your five-year high school meeting and have her refer to you the whole evening as her "stud boy," but what you need is your very sexy second cousin Amy to make you a powerful one by popping on a revealing dress and pretending to be your "out-of-state girlfriend," so you don't look like a complete loser.


And in your training regimen, you probably need more upper-body pulling, rotator cuff, structural balance, and lower body strength practice, but you want pecs so huge that they reach the room a full 4 seconds before the door gets through the rest of your body.


Who am I to deny what they want for our faithful T Nation readers? What follows is a chest specialization process of 4 weeks designed to turn your pecs, anterior delts, and triceps into huge, rippling meat slabs that would make Bill the Butcher proud.
