Chest muscles are the second show muscles after biceps. Having a strong and big chest is therefore very important. With a combination of different chest exercises, you can easily grow your chest. Here are some good chest exercises.
Chest Press-Seated
This exercise is quite similar to the flat lying down bench press. However, this exercise is performed while sitting on a bench. This assists in stabilizing your movements, placing more focus on your chest. You should grip the bar with both of your hands and push forward the weight in a controlled motion. When your arms have reached the end of extension do not be tempted to lock your elbows.
Incline or Decline Dumbbell Flyes
This exercise works especially well for the upper chest. The bench should be adjusted to an angle of about 45 degrees. Lying on your back, hold two dumbbells and make sure that your elbows are bent to an angle of about 90 degrees. Arc the dumbbells upwards bringing them close together. Keeping your elbows locked, slowly lower the weights and repeat.
Wide Grip Bench Presses
Majority of bodybuilders love this exercise. It targets mainly the lower pectoral muscles. Make sure you widen your grip a little and then push the barbell up while lying on a bench that is flat. Slowly lower the weight and repeat.
Bench Dips
Placing your elbows out while doing dips, puts more focus on the lower pectoral muscles. Tucking in the elbows as you perform this exercise, places more emphasis on inner pectoral muscles.
There are various other good chest exercises, but these are good to start with. To bring about desired results, ensure that you do 2 or 3 of these chest exercises on a daily basis. Leave 3 days for resting your muscles as this will help them grow.
