Pecs Workout
Giant pecs are something that most guys would love to have... Luckily building chest muscles is easier than building most other muscle groups...
Huge chest muscles is one thing women will almost always mention when asked their favorite body part on men. And you'll always hear guys asking each other how much they can bench. How much a guy can bench press however, has very little to do with his chest. The bench press can be manipulated and is almost more of a shoulder lift than a chest lift. This brings me to my first point- 1. When training to build chest muscle, the most basic, core lift is the incline press. Do 4-5 sets with heavy weight. 2. When you do flat bench, dumbbells are preferable to the barbell, because then it becomes a chest lift instead of a shoulder lift. And don't lock out your arms, it will keep the weight and pressure on your muscles, instead of giving them a break.
3. Incline dumbbell flyes. This is a staple if you want beefy pecs... You'll do this with dumbbells obviously, and you want to focus more on form than weight with this one, or it will become a press movement instead of a fly. Lower the weight slowly until the point that you can feel that stretch, then slowly bring it back up. 4. The cable crossover. This exercise with help to build chest muscles fast and stimulate the muscle fibers... Grab the cable handles at the top of the rack, and slowly bring them in, contract the chest muscles, and slowly let it back up. When you're done you will have a huge pump... Training your chest should yield good results as long as you give yourself sufficient recovery time and you're eating a lot of muscle building foods. Chest Muscle Pain... If you ever have chest muscle pain when working out... quit and take a few days off... Pulled chest muscle symptoms include sharp pains when moving your arms in or out to the sides, a dull, nagging pain that you can only feel at the extreme ends of your range of motion, or even just very sore muscles... If your chest is extremely sore than that could be some pulled chest muscle symptoms by itself... The muscles in your chest are incredibly resilient and should bounce back without too much trouble as long as you let them rest... Chest muscle pain is usually a result of over training and nothing more... If you feel like its a deep pain in the bones such as your rib cage... then you should quit slamming the bar off of your chest..
