Been doing all my lifts 3sets at 5-4-3 and not seeing a ton of growth. Am I doing it wrong?

>3 sets at 5/4/3

Bait?
>>
How long have you been lifting for?
>>
>>37653176
Obvious bait
>>
>>37653176
Not bait at all why?
>>
>>37653190
Focusing on chest for about 8 months.
>>
>>37653241
Not at all. I've been doing:

> dumbbell inclines
> dumbbell flat bench
> dips
> flyes

All for 3 sets at 5-4-3. We don't have the greatest gym here so there's not a lot of people to get advice from.

Someone told me lower reps were best for building muscle so that's what I've been doing.
>>
>>37653699
yep its bad bait. move on people and remember to sage.
>>
>>37653758

Where is your fucking bar bench?
You're gonna end up with muscle imbalances if you only use dumbbells.
>>
>>37653839
Christ no wonder
>>
>>37653896
Did you at least make good strength gains?
>>
>>37654315
Yeah I got a lot stronger just really didn't see significant growth.
>>
>>37653874

I'm not him, but I've also been trying to build my chest. Why will only using dumbbells cause muscle imbalances?
>>
>>37654570
It won't, you're being memed. People use dumbbells to sort out imbalances. With a bar, one side can be doing most of the work
>>
>>37654607

Ok thanks. That's what I thought
