How to Get a Big Chest

If you want to know how to get a big chest then you need to keep reading. Because we are all different sizes and shapes, it is important to understand that your genetics will play a big part in your final results. That being said the good news is that you can still build your chest up by doing specific targeted exercises to achieve well balanced pectoral muscles. 

Your chest muscles are broken up into five key areas:

1. Upper
2. Middle
3. Lower
4. Inner
5. Outer

In order to get a big chest working out on a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is ideal because this leaves a break of one day in between each workout which is important to muscle repair and growth. During each workout you can focus on different areas of your chest to allow for all round growth.

Your exercises will probably vary and will include the following:

The barbell bench press(works the chest overall), the incline bench press (upper chest muscles), and the decline bench press (lower chest muscles) - these exercises involve lying on a bench slanted upwards, downward, or flat, and pressing with either a barbell or dumbbells.

Flys - these are exercises that you could do with dumbbells or a cable machine (this works all of the chest muscles). You can do flys on the incline (to work the upper chest muscles harder) or a decline bench (to work the lower chest muscles harder), on a flat bench, or you can do them bending over award the ground. These are a great exercise to work on your pecs.

Chest dips - this exercise involves getting up on a "dip bar" and lowering and raising yourself by bending your arms, allowing your elbows flare out to either side, before lifting yourself up again. This works your lower chest muscles.

Dumbbell pullover - this exercise involves laying on your back on a flat bench, lifting the dumbbell over your head and grasping it behind the plate with one or both hands. Lift the dumbbell, keeping your arms pretty straight with just a slight bend of the elbows, over your head, then returning back to the original position. This works the lower chest muscles.

Push-ups - you can either do normal push-ups or you can put your feet on a bench, which will increase the angle and depth of your push-ups, therefore working all of the different muscles within your chest.

Each exercise should be high intensity and help you to build your chest to the size you want it to be.

Further tips on building your chest muscles include:

• Perform supersets utilizing exercises for the same or different muscle groups back to back with no rest in between each exercise.

• Drop Sets, after completing your reps in a heavy set, quickly reduce your weight by 20 to 30% and continue to do the reps until you tire again, and then take another 20 to 30% of the weight off and complete even more reps

• High reps produce more lactic acid, which signals your body to produce more growth hormone, which in turn stimulates greater muscle growth.

Now that you know how to get a big chest, it is just a matter of getting out there is doing what you need to do in order to build your chest muscles. With focus and commitment you will begin to see results very quickly.
