At least they were enough for Larry Scott, who had great development, but horrible genetics. The key with the chest is to use movements that will isolate it better. Bench presses do very little for the chest because the triceps and front deltoid hog up so much of the work. Switch to a wider grip and keep the elbows flared out to the side. This will require you to reduce the weight, but don't worry about it. It doesn't matter how much you're lifting if your chest isn't getting any of it. The other option is to use dumbbells for presses. Flies are good too, both cable and dumbbell. Compounds may be good for putting on mass, but they do so indiscriminately. Work to isolate the chest and focus on nutrition. The Gironda neck press and the Gironda dip (focus-on-chest version) are enough.

I think they help stengthen the muscles under my boobies to give lift (an I need all the extra lift I can get). What do you think about decline barbell press.
