Here
is quick but sharp routine to beef up your chest. remember that you should
always train to failure, Focus on form and never use momentum to lift
the weights. Stick the routine for at least six weeks so you can track
your progress, once you hit your target reps you must increase the weight
by a manageable amount. Stronger muscle means bigger muscle!
1. Warm your chest
and shoulders up properly before you start.
2. Flat-bench bent
arm flies, immediately followed by
3. Incline bent-arm
flies, immediately followed by
4. Decline bench press to the neck.
Rest for
at least 5 minutes
5. Flat bench-press,
immediately followed by
6. Straight-arm pull-overs, immediately followed by
7. Negative dips
Notes:
Flies
Make sure you keep the same bend in your arm through the whole movement.
Rather use light weights and do the movement properly, heavy weight will
trough your form out.
Decline
bench press
If you find that your shoulder joints hurt on the exercise, you can substitute
it for dips for chest, these are done by placing your torso in a bent
over position, similar to a push up, if you do them correctly, your chest
will take a hammering and they are hard to do.
Straight
arm Pull-overs
The key here is to use a weight that will allow you to perform the motion
correctly, again, to heavy a weight will mess it up for you. Keep the
arms straight and focus on contracting your chest muscles to create the
movement.
Negative
dips
In the same postural position as mention above, use your legs to lift
you to the top position, then lower your body down in 6 seconds. When
you can no longer control the lowering (you'll know when you collapse)
you're done.
