Thought about trying this, although; my chest is nothing special and also needs development.

I found it interesting, watching videos about bronze era physical culturists, they didn’t prioritize chest at all. In the Eugene Sandow era, they didn’t think big chests were aesthetically pleasing. It took George Hackenschmidt coming around to invent floor pressing. Even then, Hackenschmidt didn’t make it a huge priority I don’t think

Not that I think chest is not important or that I’ll stop training it.

I do think I’d benefit more from bigger/wider shoulders than a bigger chest.
