Chest Exercises

If you really want muscle mass, the chest is one of the best places to put on a few pounds of muscle. Building muscles in the chest is hard work, but is very noticeable when you do start working out. The following is a good video of some great chest workouts.



The only exercise that is really shown in the video is flys. Flys are one of the best ways to focus on building muscles in your chest. Flys can be performed many ways. In the video, is arms are bent at about a 90 degree angle, but you can stretch your arms out to around 150 degrees safely. The bigger the angle, the harder it is.

Another great method for building muscle mass is to use a pec deck machine. A pec deck machine looks like this.
If you have seen this at a gym, then you probably know that you squeeze the two arms together and flex your chest. This is a great machine for building a muscular chest. Classic pushups are also great for working out the chest. To focus more on the chest, do the pushups with your hands wider apart, and make sure to go all the way down to your chest when doing it. In the end, the bench press is still probably the most classic way of working out the chest. Make sure if you are performing the bench press, and you want to focus on your chest, you use a slightly wider grip. This will make you work your chest more than your triceps (which is worked when you do close grip bench).
