Are you ready for a chest work out?
“Hell yeah” …
Work on your upper pecs, and isolate those chest muscles from all angles for an all-round chest workout. Let’s give these exercises a try to
build a chiselled chest. Believe you me, heavy benching isn’t the only way!
Seated Chest Presses: It’s quite the same as a standard flat-bench press. The difference here is that you’re seated. The weight is stable and it works on the pectoral muscles. What you have to do is grasp the handles and extend your arms, straightening them at the elbows. Squeeze the chest muscles during this motion. Gradually pull your arms back, again feeling the pressure on your pec muscles. Try four sets with 15 repetitions.
Cable Crossovers: Attach handles to the upper cable stations. Position yourself so that one foot is placed forward for balance. Keeping your elbows bent, bring the handles down low in front of you. Bend forward as you do that and extend your chest. Hold the same position as you allow our hands to go back. Repeat the motion 15 times in four sets.
Incline Flyes: Sit on a bench inclined to 45 degrees. Start with dumbbells on your sides, elbows at a 90 degree angle. Slowly bring the dumbbells up in an arc so that they are 6 inches apart. Feel the chest muscles contract. Now bend your elbows again as you bring the handles back to their original position. Repeat the motion in 4 sets, 10 to 12 times each.
