 NOTE: Somewhere my day numbering got off, but I’ve corrected it with today’s post. No worries, you didn’t fall asleep and missed a day! The chest is an interesting set of muscles. The chest is made up of the upper and lower regions. Both regions together comprise what is known as your pecs. Getting this area to grow is usually a challenge for most people. However, with the right training and the right attitude, growth is definitely possible. The bench press is one of the key movements for adding mass to your chest. It is the primary upper body exercise. If you use the right form on a bench press you are going to see the results. For a good bench press, one that will spur chest growth, keep your shoulders flat on the bench, your elbows back and your chest should be stuck out. Make a conscious effort to feel the exercise in the chest. If you fail to feel it in the chest muscles you are likely not using correct form. The proper way to fix this is to go back and use a lighter weight and work on your form until you feel it in your chest muscles. Only then should you begin to increase the weights you are using. There are numerous variations of the bench press including incline, decline, flat, dumbbell presses and various machine presses. They all do wonders for your chest and all require that you feel the work happening in the chest muscles themselves. I am probably going to surprise some of you with my next statement. If you want chest growth you need to do heavy leg work. Deadlifts and the Quad Blaster will contribute to your chest growth. Go as heavy as you can go with this leg work and you will start to see changes in your chest. It sounds weird until you see it in action. A great place for working on your bench press is Critical Bench. They have programs for increasing how much you bench and for shaping your body as well. Check them out and see what they have that interests you. Just know that unless you are really looking for a way to increase the amount of weight you lift on your bench press, most of what they offer can be found through other tips on the internet.
