Learn Seven Workouts to Build a Massive Chest Fast

December 26th, 2009 Posted in Fitness

To construct a burly chest you need to do a lot of heavy weight pressing. Given below are 7 variations of pressing exercises. Follow them to get a massive chest in quick time.

Pushups: This is the one exercise that will always remain on top to build chest muscle fast. To do in the right manner, make sure you squeeze your glutes, tuck in your abs tight, tuck in your elbows to the sides of your body and remain straight as you go down and come up. Use weights on your back to up the intensity.

Flat dumbbell press: The correct way to do it is to tuck in your elbows to the sides of your body and holding the dumbbells with palms facing in. Lie on a flat bench and lift the dumbbells straight up and bring them down in a controlled manner.

Incline dumbbell press: Now switch to an incline bench and set it between 30 and 45 degrees. Perform the dumbbell press similar to that described above. To work out the upper pecs and avoid the droopy pec look that many seem to get, set the bench at 30 degrees.

Dumbbell floor press: Lie down on your back on the floor and follow the same instructions as for the flat dumbbell press. If you have back problems, it\’s better to keep knees bent and place your feet flat on the ground. Otherwise let your legs remain straight out.

Bench press: The regular bench press with the bar is one of the best upper body exercises. As a variation, tuck in your elbows by 45 degrees to your sides and perform the bench press. Place your feet firmly on the floor and arch your back as you press.

Incline bench press: Follow the same instructions as with the bench press, but use an incline bench instead of the flat one. Set anything between 30 to 45 degrees. Like all muscle building programs that include incline bench exercises, this one develops the upper chest.

Barbell floor press: Lie down on the floor and perform the same barbell press exercise. It will help develop overall pressing strength.
