HUGE Pecs

I've been working out for a number of years now and I've noticed that my chest grows a lot easier than my other body parts.

My pecs are getting pretty big now, what do you think?

I want to grow the biggest ones in the world! I don't care about symmetry and all that, I just want to be the Dolly Parton of the bodybuilding world! The bigger the better.

Boobstastic

No, I have not messed with the picture

I have been stopped in public. Some guy wanted to know if my muscles were real or "artificial". I'm not sure what that means, but it was flattering. A pregnant colleague at work said I had bigger boobs than her. I don't know if she was trying to insult me, but I found it a turn on!

I just do a lot of bench pressing with strict form and dumbell flyes, mainly. I throw in cable crossovers and dips just for fun! I think it's best to just to the basics and do them well.

Pec-tacular!

Just a question, based on the pic: Do you find that one side of your chest grows or is noticably bigger than the other? From the angle of the picture, it looks like one side of your chest is noticably bigger than the other. While I've found that in my untrained state I have one side of my ribcage that is flatter than the other (bone structure), once I started lifting, the muscle pretty much evened things out.

Now, to have muscle development like yours.....

Always happy to oblige! The only other one I've got handy is this one
http://aycu36.webshots.com/image/364...8787975_rs.jpg
it's a bit small though. I'll post some more when I've got them.

The other pic does make me look a bit uneven, but I think it's just the angle of the pic.

Thanks for all the positive remarks, everyone. Makes me want to hit the gym and get bigger! I work pretty hard already though. I fantasize about having massive implants put in. Imagine waking up to find your pecs are so enormous you can no longer see your feet!

Heh, Dolly Parton. I suppose that's gonna be your nickname here. At least, I'll call ya that. Though to be nice, it'll be "Donnie" not "Dolly."

Love them "muscle boobs" can't wait to see em hang down over your abs like two halves of a beach ball, casting a shadow down past your feet.

Heh heh: "Dolly": I like it. I can't wait either. Even when I have to move the keyboard out of the way and rest my giant "muscle boobs" on the desk, I won't be satisfied!

Indeed, those simply wouldn't be big enough. Perhaps they might be a bit large when you need 4 men (or women if you want) to carry them for you, lest you fall forward from their weight.

If you're willing to get me a full body picture (you can leave out your head if you desire) of you, with better lighting if possible, I'll gladly morph you, with an emphasis on your pecs....for "motivational" purposes only of course.

Yes, 4 women (in my case) required to heave my absurd, wrecking ball-sized pecs around would be a bit inconvenient I suppose. Might have to work on the lower back for a bit! Trying to reach around them for everyday tasks would be tricky. Sleeping would be an issue too, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it At least all the muscle cleavage would be useful for keeping stuff in! Ha ha!

Yay! Thumbs up to the morphing idea. I'll post a pic as soon as poss. Maybe tomorrow.

Nah, don't worry about any of that. Just have more women do the smaller stuff for you as well. Pay them very well of course, especially if they think your pecs will be freaky looking. And all the muscle cleavage wouldn't be good, you would probably crush anything put in between them. Though if you put some coal in your cleavage (when they get that big) and flex, you would probably get a diamond after a few moments. Then you can use that to propose to the woman of your dreams.

Yes, it's a fantastic feeling. The bigger they grow, the better the pumped-up feeling is, so the more you want to train them and so the bigger they grow! If I didn't have to go to work and things, I'd probably be permanently in the gym and I'd have pecs the size of beach balls!

Ahhh we can but dream...

What kind of weight, reps and sets are you doing for these exercises?

I'm having a heck of a time with my chest -- just can't find the right recipe for growth. Not sure if I should be trying for less weight/more reps or the other way around.

What kind of weight, reps and sets are you doing for these exercises?

I'm having a heck of a time with my chest -- just can't find the right recipe for growth. Not sure if I should be trying for less weight/more reps or the other way around.
I use a pyramid system for the bench press:
60Kg x 20
80Kg x 15
100Kg x 10
120 Kg x 8
130Kg x 6
100Kg x 10
100Kg x 8
60Kg x 20
(on a good day!)

My max ever on the bench press is 155Kg x 4, but I don't usually try to reach that to avoid injury.

Then maybe 25Kg x 10 x 3 dumbell flyes. Something like that. I'll do this about 3 times a week. Concentrate on good form, rather than loads of weight. The number of times I see guys loading up the bar like mad and then only doing half reps. I've never done that. I've never used steroids either. Too dangerous. I do use creatine and protein shakes sometimes for about 6 weeks at a time, but I haven't used anything for the last few months.
