The majority of studies seem to support the claim that the dumbbell bench press is a better option for anyone looking to increase his chest size, mainly because of the greater range of motion involved — a greater range of motion
on pressing movements means
more horizontal flexion and adduction and a greater recruitment of chest
muscle fibers.

more muscle fiber recruitment, these methods will also take an even greater toll
on your body and shouldn't be used too frequently.

on the lowering part of the movement, you can powerfully overload your
muscles and recruit
more of their fast - twitch

on the
muscle fibers by which the tension increases and
muscle fibers will break during that training period and there you enter in a phase to put even
more muscle and strength.
More on this in the sample routine below, but long story short, you need to understand what TYPES of running hinder your lifting the most (hint: mostly sprints and hill climbs - those runs that heavily engage your type II
muscle fibers), and plan accordingly.
For example, one study found a little less than 70 % leg
muscle fiber activation while running to exhaustion
on a level treadmill and a bit
more than 70 % activation during exhaustive running up an inclined treadmill.
... but when it comes to optimizing your brain and nervous system, recruiting
muscle fibers, enhancing nerve firing speed, and optimizing brain - body coordination, it is far
more important to instead focus
on fast, explosive movements — whether you're a weekend warrior or a professional athlete.
The reason Reclining
on the Sun Exercise works so well is because you are incorporating the stability
muscles in your triceps which means essentially that you are incorporating
more muscle fibers.

more of your important type 2 (fast twitch)
muscle fibers involved... which means you become
more metabolically active to burn fat... AND build greater strength.
In current practice, PCSA tends to be estimated based

on developing models for
more accurate estimations that reduce the effects of these limitations (Lee et al. 2015).
