Chest Day

Of all the days, I love chest day the most. I personally  feel chest's workout is more fun than others. Doesn't mean that you  only hit chest hard and skip the rest.

Before beginning with the workout, let us first go thoroughly through chest anatomy.

Human chest is composed of two sets of muscle fibers; pectoralis major and pectoralis minor. These muscle start at the clavicle and insert at the sternum and he armpit area. The chest functions with contraction and relaxation of these muscles. The main function of chest is to assist the arm motion.

Barbell Bench Press


I thought about some really good tips to share with you guys about bench press because bench press is one of the popular exercise for hitting chest. Bench press is a must workout for monster chest.

- Lie down on a flat bench keeping an arc on the back.
- Grab the barbel just outside your shoulders.
- As you perform the movement, bring the barbell down all the way to your sternum(middle chest)
- Now while you press the bar up, push through your arm and feet so its more than your arms going up and down and then push through your core.
- While you are pressing; from the starting position, breath in and begin coming down slowly until the bar touches your chest.
- Take a slight pause and push out the bar breathing out slowly.

Try three sets of barbell bench press, first with 12 repetitions, 2nd 10 reps and 3rd with 8 reps in the beginning of chest work out. This sure helps in significant growth of the major pectoralis ultimately giving you huge chests!!
