My Favorite Upper Chest Exercises

By Frank Hommes

Most people have a difficult time figuring out what makes up a good exercise routine, which will build muscle, since there are so many various workouts that people choose to follow. All muscle groups in the body have a workout that is best for building the muscles effectively. These upper chest exercises can be brought together in a routine, which will be sure to work.

Before anyone starts lifting weights they need to make sure they have stretched out their body. Exercising won't do any good if a person damages their muscles during their workout because the body will be busy repairing the muscle. A person should also stretch after their routine to help the body's muscle relax after being so constricted.

One of the upper chest exercises that does an excellent job of increasing muscle is the bench press. Bench presses are a great choice, because they don't require you to belong to an expensive gym, as long as have the right equipment in your home.

All you need to have for a bench press are a weight lifting bench and a couple dumbbells. You will probably prefer dumbbells instead of a barbell, since it allows for more flexibility. A bench press is a simple routine to perform. You just simply lie on your back and slowly lift the dumbbells over your head and hold for a couple seconds. Bringing the weights together as your arms are extended, will help the muscle building power.

Another kind of exercise that works the upper chest and can be done at home, are push-ups. These also work the arms and shoulders, which is good for individuals who are working on a full body routine.

Dumbbell flys use the same equipment as a bench press and works the upper chest in a different way because of the slightly different motions. Instead of a person pushing the weights over their head the dumbbells should be lifted slowly from the person's sides as they lie on their stomach. At the peak of the lift the dumbbells should be a few inches apart from each other. - 17269
