Lagging Chest

[Sampson]

What is the best way to build up my chest? It has always been the worst muscle group of my body, and I have never been able to beench very much at all. My arms are quite large, my legs are very strong and explosive, but my chest is a huge pussy. Ha, I need help getting some muscle in my chest! Here is my current workout:

Incline Bench: 10 10 8 6
Decline Bench: 10 10 8 6
Cables: 10 10 8 6

How can this be improved? Sometimes I will throw in 3 sets of dumbbell bench at the end of my workout, or substitute it for the decline bench.

Have you tried doing lower reps? My chest workout looks something like this:
Incline DB bench-3x6-8
Decline DB flys- 3x8-10
Dips(this is an AWESOME chest excercise if you lean forward to put more emphasis on your chest rather than your triceps) 3x6-10(use a weight belt if its too easy with your body weight)
Pec dec fly-3x12-15

My chest really started growing when I stopped doing regular bench press excercises and picked the dumbells up. I havent looked back since.

Bump on the Dips. These are (In my personal opinion) the BEST exercise for overall chest development. Now, I'm gonna bridge off of what ENIGMA has said about them:

Most Dip stations are CRAP! The people who make them do so with the handles too close together, which causes an increased emphasis on the triceps.

I've had the best experience doing dips between a pair of steel folding chairs. Angle the chairs so that they your hands are neither parallel nor perpendicular with your body, but at a 45 degree angle. Space the chairs out kinda wide (a few inches past shoulder width). Lean forwards slightly, and really squeeze with the chest. For an extra sick pump, superset with DB flyes or cable crosses. In a month or two, you will have a wicked chest, no doubt

x2 on dip stations sucking. Luckily at my gym the bars are angled in a way that you can move further out and the bars are wider, or move in and get a good tricep workout.
