Building Your Chest Muscles

By Westy

One thing that might be a little difficult for you to hear is that you might not be able to build the giant chest that you want. Your size and genetic predisposition to the body that you have may be what will determine whether you can build a big chest or not. You should be honest with yourself in the beginning about what your expectations will be in your chest building efforts.

Secret Key

The Pecs are not the only muscles in your chest. It is important in exercise to get a balanced chiseled chest. Bench pressing is the most important chest muscle building for a big chest. There are many other muscles that work the bands of muscles underneath your pecs and lats. Here are some basics to chest muscle building and maybe a few things you have not thought of.

Many bodybuilders have used the bench press for a number of years to get the defined look in their chest muscles. However, it might be time that you tried something different. You can vary the bench press that you are currently doing and hold your grip in a different way. Try a closer grip for example for a completely different workout.

The seated chest press is another exercise that you can do for your chest muscles. It is very similar to a bench press except you are sitting instead of lying down. This exercise will work the pectoral muscles in a very efficient manner because you are only using the pectoral muscles and not relying on the abs or back for any of the weight lifting.

In this exercise you face the workout machine. Cable crossovers work by holding the handles and pulling the handles down to your waistline. Bend your body forward little, release the cables back and squeeze your chest. Cable crossovers can be done high or low.

Do incline flyes on the bench of about 45 degree. Your arms are bent at a 90 degree angle. Lift your arms until they meet, lower your arms but not below the bench. Try dumbbell flyes at different angles on the bench.

Dips are the last exercise and has got to be the hardest. There are different variations for this exercise too. What they all come down to is to sit on a solid surface and lift your body with yours arms and chest muscles, keep your legs straight out in front of you. Then you pull yourself up off the object and let your body dip below the level of the chair or what ever you were sitting on and o repetitions.

Here are just a few chest exercises to work on. Always remember though that your nutrition has do be in line with your chest muscle building workout or you will not get the results you want. - 17269
