Let’s conquer this!
The Essentials
Chest days are the essentials of every gym routine. Besides the
back, legs and biceps, they are the main and one of the largest muscles to
train. When it comes to the looks, the well trained and well developed chest
muscles are always the first to draw the eye and the attention. They go hand in
hand with the development of your back muscles, and in their prime they display
a powerful and commanding physique.
So, the basics. On your chest days, after the warm up, it’s good to start with
the utmost basic when it comes to chest exercises – and that is the good old
push up. Push ups, when done in the wide stance, offer a great amount of
stretching of the chest muscles, and are the essential exercise for a reason. For
an added challenge and an even better stretch, use the push up bars to elevate
yourself more and get a better depth. Remember that the stretching part of
every exercise, is the important, muscle building part.
Another essential exercise on chest days is, of course, the bench press. No
follower of the iron routine skips on this iconic exercise. Start with the weight
that is comfortable for you, but never go too light. It’s always better to lift
heavy with fewer repetitions – that’s the way to build muscle. Bench press can
be done with a wide grip, or the narrow grip – focusing on the triceps. There’s
also the incline press, good for the upper chest.
Next thing we’d like to include in the chest day are the flys. All you need is
the adjustable incline bench and two dumbbells with the appropriate weight. Lie
down with an incline, place the dumbbells together above yourself and simply
stretch. Stretch as far as it is comfortable, enough to feel that all important
stretching in your pecs. Then slowly bring them back to the starting position,
all the while focusing on the tightness of your muscles and the proper form. This
is one of the best exercise for feeling the burn and the pump.
To complete the day, you can add an exercise of your choosing. This can be the
iso chest press machines, the machine flys, cable flys, etc. The choice is
varied, depending on the gym. Just don’t pile too many exercises into a single
workout, and try to add weight when possible. And always remember that you
can’t go wrong with the bench press or the push ups. There’s a reason why all
the great bodybuilders always recommended these, citing the pump.
Conclusion
Chest days are easily the most rewarding and enjoyable workouts
in the gym. They are fairly straight forward, easy to perform and the pump can
get amazing. Never hesitate to try different poses you see, or add more weight
while lowering the repetitions. Also, asking questions can help a lot, and gym
members are always helpful. It can provide important insights and create new
friendships. Also, chest being the key and big muscle in your body, results
will quickly be visible. When the pecs tighten, take form and bring together
your entire physique, you will realize the importance of chest days. And you’ll
only want to work harder.
