Chest not aching after chest workouts?

Most people find that when performing chest exercises they work their shoulders and triceps a lot more than their chest, here is how to make sure the chest is isolated.  The key to isolating the chest is to make yourself conciously aware at all times that is what you are trying to isolate.  When performing bench press to increase the size of your chest relax your arms, perform the reps with a lighter weight than usual and slow the rep right down.  Often when you go too heavy you do everything to lift the weight up which usually means over dominating with your shoulders and triceps.   You may also prefer when performing the bench press to bring the bar down closer to your neck as explained in this article, this I personally find isolates my chest a lot more than the usual method.

Most people in gyms are more interested in what people think about them when they are working out, piling on loads of weights and screaming, this is not the way to get a great body, drop the weight and concentrate on isolation.  Check out the Victor Costa videos on Youtube this guy really shows the benefits of isolation and by looking at his body you can see it really works.
