Chest Tips
The chest has always been a very stubborn body part for me, and, dare I admit this, I’ve never been that strong in the bench press. However, for those reasons I’ve had to do a lot of research, try a lot of different things and work a lot harder to make progress.
Ask a person like me for tips on building chest size, and I can give you a much better answer than the guy whose chest grew easily – those guys didn’t have to think about it, they just did a few benches and wham! They had a good chest.
Some guys are like that – they add an inch to their biceps just lifting their coffee cup in the morning. In this article, I will give you several solid tips and routines to nudge that stubborn chest into new growth. This leads to great workouts.
The bench press is pretty much the primary chest and upper body exercise, often referred to as the “upper body squat.” It also comes under a lot of criticism because of claims it’s not a great chest builder. In reality, it’s in how the exercise is performed that determines if it’s a good or bad chest builder. The key, which you’d think would be pretty obvious, is to make the chest do the work.
The problem is that everyone benches with there ego – in other words, get up as much weight as possible, any way you can get it up, who cares about using proper form. If you want chest progress, you have to lift with your chest, not your ego. That means good form – back on the bench, legs on the floor, no weird twisting, arching and jerking. Use the besnch press in your exercise program.
