How To Build Your Chest

Weightlifting is a growing ‘sport’ today with many men, and women, using weights as a way to improve the body. Exercising can affect your whole body but you need to know what exercises you should do in certain parts of your body.

 

Before you start any weight lifting regime with which you can build more muscle in your chest, you need to make sure that your diet is sufficient for the activity you plan to do.

 

Make a plan of a healthy diet, preferably with a fitness trainer or an experienced weight lifter.

 

Examine your protein diet; you need 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of soft body weight. This should be spread throughout the day with as much food as possible. Count 4 calories in each gram of protein.

 

Examine your carbohydrate diet; you need 1.8 to 2.3 grams of carbohydrate per pound of body weight. Count 4 calories per gram.

 

15% of your diet should include pure fats such as olive oil, flaxseed oil, etc. Count 9 calories per gram.

 

You should have 2500 calories a day.

 

Prepare ‘food on the road’; it is wise to pre-cook food.

 

Eat meals with your family and plan 2-4 extra meals

 

Drink plenty of milk

 

Remember that you need to rest. The more you eat and sleep the more you can train. Learn to feel your body and do the work you can do.

 

Some supplements you can take to help build muscle are:

 

Lots of vitamins

 

Determined liver

 

Weight gainer

 

Creatine gives our muscles strength and is 100% natural.

 

HMB is similar to one of the most important amino acids in the body

 

The following is a set of exercises that can help build chest muscles.

 

Dumbbell Single Arm Bench Press

 

Lie on your back on the bench with a heavy dumbbell in one hand next to your chest hand facing inwards

 

Hold your arm straight to the side to get the balance

 

Push the weight so that your arm is straight above your chest

 

Pause for a moment, and then slowly reduce the weight in the first place

 

Make 5-7 repetitions with each hand

 

Complete 4 sets, pausing for 2 minutes after each set

 

Dumbbell Incline Bench Press

 

Lie face up on a curved bench and hold heavy dumbbells outside your chest, with the middle grip (palms facing inwards)

 

Press the weights straight above your chest (arms straight)

 

Pause, then lower to the starting position

 

Do it 6-8 times

 

Do 3 sets, pause for 2 minutes after each set

 

Suspended Push-Up

 

Use explosive belts or chains

 

Arrange the strings or chains around the bar so that the handles hang a few inches from the floor

 

Take a regular position to push the hands and hold the handles so that only the feet touch the ground

 

Bend your elbows to lower your body until the upper arms are facing downwards, then push them upwards.

 

Do as much as you can

 

Rest for 90 seconds

 

Make 3 sets

 

Dumbbell Incline Fly

 

Lie on a bench and hold dumbbells above your chest with your arms straight, palms facing forward.

 

Keeping the palms facing forward, gently sweep your arms down and move them to the sides of the arc until the weights are equal to the chest.

 

Pause and reverse the movement until the weights are back above you

 

Do 8-12 repetitions and proceed to the parallel bar dip

 

Parallel Bar Dip

 

Hold the corresponding dip bars and lift them up until your arms are straight

 

Keep the elbows close to the body, slowly lowering them by bending the elbows until the upper arms are parallel to the floor.

 

Do as many repetitions as possible

 

Repeat the superset (this set and previous set) once again

 

Beside Sleeping With One Arm External Circulation

 

Lie on your left side with your left arm bent and your head leaning against your left hand

 

Holding a simple dumbbell in your right hand bend your right arm 90 degrees and bend your upper arm to your right side

 

Let the weight hang in front of your center

 

To keep the upper arm upright, rotate your arm straight up to the ceiling

 

Then rotate your arm and bring it back to its original position

 

Do 12-15 repetitions and rest for 1 minute

 

 

 

The above exercises, as well as other stressors, should help build your chest. By pressing find out what your maximum bench press is and move on from there. Use a bench for your upper chest, a flat bench for the middle chest and a bench for your lower chest. Use slower, lower and heavier repetitions as heavier weights create muscle fibers that produce strength and stamina.
