I am fairly new to the whole "work out" scene, but and looking to get big ASAP!!! I am 17 and very athletic and am in ok shape as it is. I have no fat to speak of, i just want to bulk up on some muscle. With my workouts i have been seeing improvements in my shoulders, abs, and biceps. But i really need to increase my chest size and get my pecs bigger. For my chest workouts i have been using and or doing upright bench press machine, dips, push ups, dumbbell pull over, and a little bit different style or standing cable flys. I do not have acess to free weights, i am just using the home gym that i have bought from a friend (i posted a picture of it also...). So, do any of you guys have any suggestions on how i can increase my chest without just my arms being sore the next day? I am drinking a lot of water, taking protein shakes, eating a lot, and getting good sleep. I tried this post on another forum and it was not much help, i think you guys could do better. Please help! Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah one other thing you might look into getting.
A weight belt! I noticed you have a place where you can do dips.. with a weight belt on you can do weighted dips, you can purchase weights that attach to the belt.
Just some suggestions on more equipment to help you along the way, It's not very expensive either.
Oh lastly get a steady routine going on.. Have you made up a routine for your self yet?

here read this and watch the video in thier too.:
http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/WANT_A_BIGGER_CHEST/m_68548/tm.htm
main points. give your chest, and other muscle groups rest of 5days. yes 5 days. i see guys in the gym who do bench 3-4days a week, with a days rest inbetween and in a few weeks they get fustrated cause their bench is going down. soon they can't even do 135lbs.
varity of chest workouts. do cables, bench, incline decline. flyies flat, incline decline do flyes with cables and do machine. also pushups and dips are huge.
be patianet for results it can take 3 moths. but if you want to be big you need ot increase weight and lower reps, but increase sets. supper setting is great.
diet. thats like 65% of the work right their, seriously. also sleep, get 9hours of sleep a night. sleep is huge for bodybuilding. and honestly supplments conts for maybe 5% of results seen. with a healthy diet you don't need supplments, almost every body builder will disagree, but regiestered dietians will agree with me 100% and their not trying to sale me the protien shakes or supplments.
full contraction when doing a rep. go all the way down strech every single muscle fiber then go up and make your musles as tight as possble hard like rock.

It looks really painful when he does the BB incline because his arms go so far past 90 degrees that I would think is rotators should tear into pieces each rep. I dont reccomend going that far down.

To be honest you may hit your muscles more effectively with a set of dumbells then with that whole set up you have there.. But that set should help! you don't ever want to use just machine weights "especially if your bulking up and looking to get stronger"
