is it possible to incorporate other chest exercices in the wb method?

[killerbee_zor]

This week i started doing the wm-routine which i like a lot.
But i have one big problem,it's my chest....
My chest seems to be extremely lagging,i tried almost everything but with poor results compared to the rest of my body especially my shoulders.
Presses just do nothing for my chest,even dumbbell presses,i am just pushing with my shoulders and triceps
Now i recently read your article about a routine for chestspecialization...
Is there a possibility to incorporate those 2 recommanded exercices(Slide Push-ups and Low Pulley Cable Bench Press)in the wm-routine?!
Can i replace the bp exercises by these exerices?
(I really want to continue the "waterbury method" routine)

Thanks in advance,
Michiel

How long have you been lifting?

I don't know that you're new to lifting, but I used to feel my chest was lagging, too. It isn't any longer, despite doing nothing to specialize. I just got better and stronger and things evened out.

Within reason, your parts won't really grow too much out of proportion to one another.

IMO, you should just give it time. Unless you're pretty developed already, things should even out over time.

You could post some pics.

can you post a link to the article you mention? I'm intrigued by "slide push ups"
thanks

Just read the article in that link Killerbee, thanks.

I'd like to point out that doing pushups on blaststraps or rings that have been set up to hang nearly twice as far apart (or more) as shoulder width will simultaneously simulate both of the exercises he refers to. You have to squeeze inward just to support yourself in the up position before doing a pushup. Lower down maintaining approximate shoulder width hand spacing, and squeeze inward as you push up to finish at the top with hands together. Move them back out to shoulder width again just prior to/or as you begin to lower down, and repeat. You might find these to be a real bitch to do at first, so you may want to start off at a gentle incline, then progress to flat, and finally to added resistance as you get stronger.
