Sorry I don’t really understand your question. If you use a light enough weight you should have no problem on the dumbbell fly.

well dips definitely hit the triceps hard as well put as long as you lean forward and take a reasonably wide grip it targets the chest more than the triceps.

I didn’t know that cable crossovers and dips are for the chest. I thought that on dips you train only triceps and that on crossovers you train shoulders. Now I learned something new. Thanks for this post.

well I would love to help you but I am afraid that I have not ever read of toning the sides of the chest. Keep doing research on the topic because there is a slight chance I am wrong, but I feel fairly confident in saying that you really cannot train a muscle to grow in a certain way. Muscles know how to grow, but varying how you work them should not significantly change how they grow. I would say that there is hope, however, because I do know that incline and decline variations of chest exercises work the upper/lower chest and so you could say that these exercises do affect how the muscle grows. Growing man boobs from chest workouts is likely genetic, but if you can keep your body fat reasonably low and make sure to include some incline presses into your workout to keep your upper chest balanced with your lower chest, you should not develop man boobs.

I am looking for a work out session that gives you a good toned sides on the chest. I want a nicely toned shaped chest. I keep doing the normal bench press and dumb bell flyers and similar stuff. These things target the upper and lower pecks but I want to target the outside portions surrounding the chest so that it does not look your growing a pair of man boobies. It should look like there nice curves around teh pecks.
any suggestions|?

if you are doing a split workout plan (one day chest, another back, etc), then that sounds fine. personally though, I don’t like to workout the same muscle without breaks, so what I do is I put ab exercises in between my various chest exercises to give myself a bit of recovery time. that is personal preference though, I know some people really adamantly believe that the pectorals can handle sequential exercises.

anyways, here is a typical (although i always vary from week-to-week) chest workout for me: 3×8-12 flat DB bench press, weighted crunch machine, 2×8 incline DB bench press, decline sit ups w/ weight plate, 2×10 DB fly, hanging leg raises, 1 set of max reps push ups.

Good Luck!
