Lets get your chest big! pt.2
Okay now the next two workouts that I am going to go over are very basic and are also on benches, inclined and declined bench. Lets start with inclined, this is going to be a bench that is inclined upward it is almost like a chair. What you want to do is 3 sets like always with 10 reps on each set or you can choose to do what I explained in my last blog with the flat bench depending if your trying to gain mass or lose it. So what you are going to do is put you preferred weight on each side of the bar, do not put the same weight that you put on flat bench on this bench because it is completley different it is a lot harder to do heavy weight on this bench. Unrack the bar and bring it down to your chest, do not touch it keep it like one inch from you chest and bring it straight up and do your sets. Here is a descriptive video on how to do incline bench. From incline bench you can go to declined bench or vice versa. Decline bench is almost like flat bench it you should be able to do about the same weight that you do on flat bench on declined. This bench looks like a flat bech just declined so that your legs are a higher level. This bench is going to have two paddings where your legs go you want to put where your knee bends in between both of these paddings. Like the other benches you are going to put your preferred weight and get on the bench. You are going to bring the bar to the lower part of your chest and touch it and bring it straight up. Do 3 sets and the reps that you want to do depending on what you want to do with your body mass. Heres another video to desribe this declined bench if you did not understand my explanation. That concludes the basic workouts for the pectoralis major for now.

I worked out my chest on Tuesday. I was bench pressing, using free weight chest pressing, and incline bench pressing. I have only been working out for a little while, but I can definitely feel myself getting stronger.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I have trouble with is coming up with different workouts for biceps. It just seems like curls aren't getting the job done as well as i wished it could. Maybe some tips please?
The idea of weights never truely went with me, I always and hopefuly will stick with my own body work outs most of the time. But it is always good to have the knowlege if I ever needed to be able to work out in another way.
ReplyDeleteSince fifth grade I worked out my chest, I got to do 1000 push ups just months after starting to work out, right then I was hooked to having a healhty life, maybe someday I'll take you up on it and actually try benching or any other weight work out.
