The LOWER Chest Solution (GET DEFINED PECS!)

  • The lower chest line is something that many guys struggle to develop. In this video, I’m going to show you how to get defined lower pecs by hitting the bottom most portion of your pec muscles with the right exercise selection. In fact, I’m breaking out 8 exercises that will help you to hit your lower chest more effectively than ever before.

    I start by showing you the classic decline bench press and explain why this exercise is a little better at developing your lower pecs than the flat or incline variation. It all has to do with the position of your arms in relation to your torso when doing the movement. You will see that when you sit up after finishing a set of decline bench press that your arms are not angled perpendicular to your body but downward.
    The anatomy of the chest explains why this is the preferred angle for attacking the bottom of your chest. The pectoralis major is broken up into two main sections (the clavicular or upper and the sternal or lower). In the sternal area of your chest however you have an additional head of the pecs called the abdominal head. This is the lowermost portion of the pecs and angle from bottom to top heading towards your humerus.
    If you follow the fibers and train in the same plane as these lower chest fibers then you will more effectively allow them to be activated and recruited during your chest exercises. Knowing this, we can select chest movements that are better able to hit this lower chest than what you might currently be doing. If your chest workouts consist of simply dips or decline bench press to hit your lower pecs or worse, you avoid these exercises all together, then you are going to benefit from trying some of these out.
    First we revisit the classic dip exercise (which is again a great way to hit the lower chest) and make it even better by including a plus push at the end of every rep. This extra scapular protraction allows you to hit the serratus anterior muscle as well, which ties in perfectly with the function of the chest and helps to stablize your shoulder during the exercise as well.
    Next we can do a straight bar dip to hit the bottom pecs. Because you have to angle your entire body more forward during this exercise to keep yourself balanced over the bar, you automatically wind up placing your arms in the proper position to effectively target the lower chest more. The additional internal rotation of the arms during the exercise helps to get a better contraction on the chest at the top of every rep.
    From here, you can get more adduction into the exercises you are doing for your lower chest by performing either the D2 flexion pattern with a band or the kneeling x crossovers. Both of these allow you to train with either one arm at a time or both and help you to build a better mind muscle connection with the working muscles. This carries over to help you get better muscle development and a defined lower chest in the long run.
    There are many other exercises that I show for getting a sculpted lower chest including some home options that don’t require any equipment at all. The bottom line is, if you want to work the bottom of your chest and want to get rid of flat or saggy pecs then you have to start selecting the right exercises for this area. Here I have shown you 8 exercises but you don’t have to do them all. Pick a couple and add them to your chest training and you will see a difference in no time.
    For a complete program to build an athletic and ripped body from head to toe (not just in your lower pecs) then head to athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. Start training like an athlete and see how fast you can make improvements to your physique by overlooking nothing in your training.

I've watched lots of your videos on this, but hoping you have specific advice to help me out. I'm already working hard, and have no problem with that. I do have pain in my lower Back, and right shoulder, but I can push through the pain. Thanks

      Your chest contracts as one. There is no real upper and lower chest. Sure you can try to target the lower fibers but you won't get significant growth in that area over the rest. Look at some of the best bodybuilders in the world, most of them with great chests don't try to target their lower chest. Even though they may look great. Your chest contracts as one and builds as one.

      @@jasonscott9653 You should look into fasting. It's essentially a way to dip into the bodies natural fat using energy mode. If you find portion sizes increasing or resisting an urge to eat more you'll also find it reduces ghrelin which is the hunger hormone. Working out increases it - this is why most of the time you see someone trying to lose weight by dieting and intense working out alone end up relapsing to their old state and giving in, It's mostly chemical reactions and stuff that are possible to willpower through a few times but each time you do that use up dopamine resources and such so eventually you will deplete and not be able to resist without seriously affecting mood and such. in-fact on those shows that follow people doing just this most have a 100% failure rate. Fasting has an almost 100% success rate. You'll want to start easy and do a lot of research before diving in if you do, there are pro's and con's and things to look out for safety wise. It also helps with muscle gain due to growth hormone and BDNF spike and such so if combined with what you're doing already you'll have a great time.

Bringing in anatomy and the in depth explanations of muscle contractions along with how you say it while showing us the exercise is extremely relatable. I can’t watch other youtubers or content creators because they don’t explain what you’re hitting, mainly because they don’t know themselves, but they know what exercises hit what muscle group and to me, personally, that’s not enough to help me. Like yes I can follow their workouts and exercises and probably do fine and find myself slowly improving but with the energy you put out, and the informative guides and videos helps me further than anybody else.

    I work in a physical therapy office and I used the black band after seeing this video. And wow that is the only time I’ve truly felt a good pump on the outer edge of my chest. I’ve dealt with a flabby chest even at my most fit and I feel as though lighter weight, higher quality reps is what has been helping me recently with my chest and my legs as well

    Thank you to Jeff and all he has done over the years.

    Your advice and motivation pushed me to take 3 massive steps
    1.get private medical help from a Chriopractor.
    2.follow your videos and use exercises that help build and strengthen my lower back .
    3 .have a better diet .
    I started this 10th April 2022 ,I weighed 235 lbs 6ft 1 and 55 years old .
    With your help iam now 219lbs ,I can cycle I can now run i do not have the pain I had
    I look a lot better and I feel more confident.

Just tried the one arm chest pulldown using resistance bands and straight after i can feel the lower side of my chest "pumped" and feel that this particular excercise has really isolated the area of the chest that i've been struggling to grow .

    Real talk, I have incorporated a lot of the suggestions from these videos into my workout routines. And they have all worked so far. I have even changed up my rep routine--don't count the reps, make the reps count. Because of that, I have a better understanding of working out until failure. My last weight training day for the week was this past Thursday. I did every exercise machine/non-machine alike until I could no longer do them properly. It felt good, better contractions, improved form, made working out fun.
