Chest Tip 1

So lets start with the chest, one of the more popular muscles that we work at the gym. Many mistakes can be made with the chest and a whole chest workout is key to ensure you get that buldging chest you desire.

Anyone who has used the gym before will know that many exercise machines are provided. Now these exercise machines are brilliant... for beginners. If you want to build up huge size then free weight is the way to go. We'll go with the basic chest workout of: Flat chest press (4 sets), Incline chest press (4 sets), decline chest press (4 sets) and cable chest flies (3 sets).

For chest technique is very important as you do not want to overstretch the joints of the shoulders. This is why we bring the downside of the press in closer to out lateral region, making sure to just touch the chest with the weight before raising the weight again. This is the the same for when doing incline and decline, making sure to keep your elbows so to not cause damage to your shoulders joints with un-needed strain that may cause injury.
