Chest Exercises - Chisel Your Chest for True Power, Poise and Physical
Perfection - Here's How.

Chest exercises are part of the core three muscle groups to
incredible gains and body transformation. You won't make
progress without them. The Pectorals, the slabs of muscle
on your front of the chest are a major point on interest to
guys. Unfortunately over half of the guys I see perform
these crucial exercises wrong. On the other side women
frequently skip them for fear of losing their femininity.
The funny part is regular chest exercises will improve the
bust and keep gravity at bay.

The Chest Exercises below will really focus on tone and
developing a strong chest. I've included a variety to
ensure that no mater here you are or what you have
available to you, you can chisel that chest.

If you need more info on what the best approach to
developing incredible pecs and a strong chest is then drop
by my website and you can see complete animated instruction
for each of these exercises.

The Basic Push up
1. Lie face down on the floor with your hands palm down,
fingers pointing straight ahead, and aligned at the nipple
line.
2. Place your hands slightly wider than shoulder width,
your feet should be at hip width with toes on floor.
3. Start position: Extend the elbows and raise the body off
the floor. Lower your entire body (legs, hips, trunk, and
head) 4-8 inches from the floor.
4. Return to the start position by extending at the elbows
and pushing your body up.
5. Remember to keep the head and trunk stabilized in a
neutral position by isometrically contracting the abdominal
and back muscles. Never fully lock out the elbows at the
start position and avoid hyperextension of the low back.

Dumbbell Bench Press
1. Lying flat on bench, hold the dumbbells directly above
your chest, arms extended.
2. Lower dumbbells to chest in a controlled manner.
3. Press dumbbells back to starting position and repeat.
4. Avoid locking elbows.

Incline Dumbbell Bench Press
1.Adjust bench to an incline of 30 to 45 degrees.
2. Repeat as above.

Flat Dumbbell Chest Flies
1. Lying flat on bench, hold the dumbbells directly above
your chest.
2. Bend elbows slightly to create a diamond shape and
maintain this throughout the exercise.
3. Open arms to sides. Elbows should remain 'locked' in a
slightly flexed position.
4. When upper arms are parallel to floor, return the
weights to the starting position and repeat.

Incline Dumbbell Chest Flies
1. Adjust bench to an incline of 30 to 45 degrees.
2. Repeat as above.

Isometric Push Ups
1. Starting in the push up position with your arms fully
extended
2. Lower yourself to about half way to the floor.
3. Hold this position for 10-30 seconds remembering to
breathe. Repeat 2-3 times.

Add these exercises in to your workout routine and in a few
weeks you'll have a chest you'd be proud to bare!
