I am wondering those that have them how do you train chest?
I've had mine for a little over 3 years now over the muscle. I never do any flat bench at all any more. I do mostly incline DB or hammer. I will do flys flat or incline as well as cable.

This thread needs pics :P
Just joshing
Im thinking of getting implants myself, my chest is rather lacking
I know a number of lady's who Body build and train their chests the same with implants as when they had no implants. Though some may see training their chests in a different manor for different reasons..
I've had mine for a couple of years now. They are under the muscle. Was told NOT to train chest HEAVY anymore as building the muscle over the implants would cause the implants to "spread apart". I still train chest, but keep it light and just focus on getting a good pump....so far, so good:)
So in regards to this what is "better" over or under the muscle ?
My wife has been thinking about getting hers done so besides doing some reading online I don't know too much about it.
Talo, as I stated, mine are under the muscle. I actually had intended to get them over (as I was told that with overs, I could still train chest heavy), but the PS said I didn't have enough breast tissue to do it. He said you would see the "outline" of the implants. I really wanted them to appear natural, so ended up with unders. The recovery time was very short (for me) as well.
I went over the muscle as the PS said I had too much muscle on my chest and likely my recovery would be much longer if I went that route. Like 69 said if she wants a natural look under is better. I figured there was no way 600 cc's was going to look natural regardless of placement.
Talo, it depends on what she is looking for. There are advantages/disadvantages of both routes. The pain and recovery time sub-muscular is much greater than that of above the muscle. Personally, I absolutely hate that "ball" look that you often see when fitness competitors with over-the-muscle implants get when really lean. Plus, there's always a higher risk for capsular contracture.
I went a kind of in-between route - sub-fascial...it's not really under the muscle, but more supported and covered than it would be with the traditional "over the muscle" procedure. I had very little pain during my recovery and was back to training heavy around 4 weeks post-op.
To answer OP's question, if you're above the muscle and you feel like you're healed and your surgeon has given you the green llight, I see no reason why you can't be training heavy again 4-6 weeks post op. Just make sure to ease into it!
OP, you went with 600's?!?!?!
I asked 3 of my friends today and this is exactly what they told me was the reason :) thx 69cQuote:
