Tips to Increase Chest Muscles

It is the dream of every guy to build chest muscles. A well developed chest makes the upper body of a man looks better. Many of us have different goals when beginning chest training. Some wants to build bigger chest muscles, while others only need to tone their chest muscles. Either way, we all have to start from the basics and that is exactly what I'm going to show you here.

1. Before moving to heavy lifting it is crucial to start with warm ups. 1 or 2 sets of light bench press will do the work here. It helps to get the blood moving to chest, shoulders and arms. It always allows you to train safely.

2. Next step is to stretch your upper body. Warm ups and stretching before heavy lifting helps you to keep away from injuries and soreness. It is advised to stretch your chest, arms and shoulders before and after your workouts.

3. Start your actual training with the flat bench press. Bench press is the king of all chest building exercises. It is a basic compound exercise which also add muscles and strength to your shoulders and triceps.

4. Next we can move on to incline bench press. The execution is same as flat bench press but with only one difference that we are using an incline bench instead of flat bench. This is to target upper pecs. Incline bench press is also a compound exercise and a great mass builder for upper chest.

5. Next important one is the dumbbell fly's. It can be usually done on an incline, flat or decline bench to target either upper, middle or lower pec muscles. You should thoroughly warm up before doing fly's to avoid injuries.

6. Experiment with different exercises, sets and reps and find out which one gives you the best results. Generally the total sets for a workout should be no more than 12 and the rep range should be between 6-12. But there is no scientific proof and that's the exact reason why you have to experiment with all these.

7. Try to get more information on chest training and diets. "Knowledge is the power", and it will also helps you to make unique twists to your workouts which can yield better results.
