    How do I build up my chest muscle without building my arm muscle?

    It seems my chest muscle is more powerful than my arm, but I always end up shortening my workout routines coz my hands are tired..even though my chest can take a lot more..

    Realistically, you need to use your arms to build up your chest. You could try using dumbbells to put more focus on the chest muscles. But otherwise you'll just have to build up your arm and hand strength to keep progressing.

    Are you squeezing the bar and DBS hard? This is good, but if they fatigue too much try to squeeze less at the beginning and then more as you go
