just do a shit tonne of pullups and pushups to build the anterior chest strength and then deadlift for your ego chest push/pull strength.
>>
high volume chest work will do the job

i'm talking 50reps+ range. 5x10, 10x5, 10x10 etc
>>
>>42801180

pyramid set plan im trying are:

1x10 @ 55%
1x8 @ 65%
1x6 @ 75%
1x4 @ 85%
1x3 @ 88.5%
1x2 @ 92.5%

>anterior chest strength

>>
are you implying your chest is your weakest attest

sorry to bust your balls but youre small everywhere. There is no magic trick just go out and train hard
>>
>>42801124
going to the gym is probably the fastest for you friend

>>42802154
calculated 1rm for squat is 290, rack pull is 375, ohp is 139. i mean im still pretty small but im not tiny.

Pyramid is a meme. Stick to 8 rep sets. Those extra few reps at lower weight don't do shit. Just do more sets of 8 with a higher weight and reap the gains.

You should aim for 120 reps of chest work a week. Split this among flat and incline bench.

you need to do a reverse pyramid otherwise you'll have a huge waist and tiny shoulders

ive been doing a PHUL plan with 4x8 and 4x6, which is only 56 reps of chest per week. i guess this is why im failing so hard? ive been stuck at ~160 pound bench for months.

just bench 3 times a week dont listen to what the other clowns are saying. bench 3 times a week and you're going to grow a nice chest.
>>
>>42801124
>be able to bench 2pl8 for 10 reps
>chest still looks like shit

I think you need to do every possible "bodybuilding" exercise for chest. Benching does shit for your chest.
>>
>>42803275
decline bench
>>
>>42803275
i bet your bench form is terrible
>>
>>42803342
