I cant get that wide looking chest.. that I want maybe genetics? but this is my routine for chest should I add something. if anything I do add incline dumbell flys 2-3 sets

incline Press 4 sets 1 warm up 6-8 reps *heavy
flat bench Press 3 sets 6-8 reps *heavy
Cable Cross overs 4 sets 10-12
incline dumbell press 3 - 8-10
decline bench press 3set 8-10

I always to 3 sets of 10 squats (body weight) in between my chest, shoulder, back and arms routine with out weights since It releases testostrone.

Thanks in advance.

flys are key to a wide chest, your only doing cable cross overs. scrap the incline dumbell press and do incline flys.

shoulders and arms will give you a wider looking chest, don't forget about them

You are over training the chest. Two heavy chest exercises is all you need. The incline bench press and supine bench press done in 3 to 4 sets, reps in the 6 to 8 range and strict form. The latter is vary important.

Save the squats for your leg day.

And finally, you need to a proper diet consisting of enough proteim to grow.

That's a lot of presses! I would chuck out one of the presses and substitute it with dips on the parrallel bars, I find that a hell of a chest and tricep workout.:thumbsup:

Agreed, Fly's are critical.

But seriously, you don't need to do 4 pressing movements, I'll usually just pick two, one db and one bb, some parallel bar dips and db flys.

And getting a wide chest has very little to do with which exercises you pick, its purely genetics, you can only make muscles bigger, you can't change the shape
