Chest Workouts For Man

Men love to have nice looking chests. It is said that a well built chest can easily get you a woman. I wouldn’t know anything about that, simply because my chest looks like a deflated balloon. There is a savior though-this thing they call a chest work out!

Couple of my friends tried out some routine chest workouts and now they have something to brag about. There are several ways of building up or working on your chest. Some routines take a very short time and the results are pretty much amazing. The best thing is that you can have your own chest workout at home. The important thing is to find the best chest workout plan.

There are however different routines for upper chest workout and lower chest workout. The chest component of each workout takes about 10 minutes or so. Supersets and tri-sets are essential in this kind of chest workout routine. Remember that with chest workout it’s all about concentration and application of focus on the right muscles.

Some people strain themselves by doing inappropriate workout which in the end harm them rather than benefiting them as required. It is vital to carry out the right exercises using the appropriate weights. Do not carry excessive weight that might give you chest problems. It is also important to maintain balance with the rest of the body. Nobody wants to see a huge chest and tiny limbs. It is not a good sight. Balanced workout of the whole body helps in releasing muscle building hormones that will also enhance the results of your chest workout.

Here are some steps of an easy chest workout routine;

The first step is to start with a modified tri-set. This is designed to help pump your pectorals by stretching the connective tissues that surround them. This in turn creates more room under your skin for the growth of muscles.

The second step involves pairing pushups with sets of very heavy dumbbell and bench presses. This greatly assists in causing huge amounts of blood to flow into your chest .This in turn maximizes the recruitment of one of the biggest muscle fibers. This is the first stage and sign of huge gains to follow. Do not be discouraged by the amount of energy you put in. The use of heavy sets of dumbbells can make you feel sore afterwards too. Remember, patience pays.

The third step, which is recommended to be done on the third day of the routine, involves a technique known as “running down the rack”. This entails the pushing of dumbbells on an inclined bench, followed by the same routine on a flat bench and lastly on a decline bench. Remember that you are not supposed to rest in between the routines.

Changing the angle of inclination on the bench helps to put you in a progressively stronger position as opposed to increasing or decreasing the amount of weight in between routines. This also assists you to keep the superset going without stopping to switch the dumbbells. This also aids in your inner chest workout.

There is a wide range of chest workout exercises available to suit your style and needs. These may include the barbell bench press and the barbell incline press.
