    Default Working out, building chest!

    Hi guys, been working out for a while and i've seen some results. But i don't seem to get any mass to the upper part of the breast, while getting increased size on the lower part.

    So do you have any tips on how to get a greater mass on the upper part? any exercises?

    Wanna know how to develop your upper chest?

    do upper chest exercises.

    no, that doesn't mean bench press.

    That means incline dumbell press, incline bench press, incline dumbell flyes.

    Thanks for the replies! Haven't really done incline benchpress nor dumbell flyes. All i've been doing to work out my chest is regular bench press! Think im gonna start with the inclines first thing tomorrow!

    When benching there are three parts of the chest (upper, middle, and lower)
    For upper chest you want to do incline exercises, for middle you want to do flat exercises (Personally, I don't like when my chest goes out so far so I don't really hit the incline heavy) For lower you do decline, again not a huge fan of this as if you have any fat it makes it look like a serious case of moobs!

    Well for chest here is what I do:

    Using push-mashine 5setsx15reps and also 7x15 push-ups as a warm-up before-hand.
    I have a personal trainer and he puts a lot of emphasis on stretches. A good way to do chest stretches is by extending both your arms in front of yourself and holding on to a handle of some sort and bending down with your knees slightly bent and back straight forming a 90 degrees angle with your arms aligned with your back!
    This might sound a bit confusing, but I hope it helped. The more flexible your muscles are, the more room there is for more muscles and it also prevents injury + makes exercising more efficient! It's all about stretches - 15s is fine before every set so don't overdo it or you might injure yourself..

    Aside from that, I also do 7x15 push-ups before going to bed or 5x15 when it is on an exercise day.
    Push-ups are a really good exercise for chest - especially toning and developing other important muscle groups e.g. triceps, abs!
    To increase difficulty I recommend:
    Lowering your body more, having arms closer together, doing more reps and positioning your legs on an elevated surface relative to your body while doing so.
    To decrease difficulty:
    Using knees, arms spread apart more, less reps(should be your last option).
    Ultimately you should aim to do at least 14 reps for every set and make sure you stretch appropriately.

    With the regularity that comes with my exercise routine, protein-enriched diet and resting I've seen some pretty good results when it comes to chest!

    Wanna know how I stay in shape? I snowboard in the winter, wakeboard in the summer, and join the company sports teams. As far as building chest, you do not necessarily need a gym. I use resistance bands and dumbells + push up exercises. Inclines and butterflys are a good way to build chest with this push up exercise I listed below. I usually work my triceps with my chest since they really go hand in hand

    here's a pretty intense push up exercise.

    In order to Hit the upper part of your chest like you said, your arm must cross your chest, doing incline chest press alone will not hit all of it you must use a cable make sure that you get full range of motion and your arm must pass the opposite side of your chest! Hope that helps, theres many vid's on youtube aswell messeage if you would like a link to a good one.

    Incline all the way, more than likely you are not working that part of the chest, I find incline push up's with different grips to work wonders

    If you can do more than 75-100 pushups in a row, without stopping then you should move on to the bench press. When the reps get that high you will be doing an aerobic exercise instead of a muscle building one. So if you can get to this point, it is time to add some serious weights my friend.

    8-count bodybuilders and burpees work nicely
