Develop Your Pectoral Muscles
February 25, 2009
Well developed pectoral, or chest muscles, is a coveted goal for most men. While having a strong, broad chest is sexy on any man, women are now working to develop their pectoral muscles. Developed chest muscles can raise and firm your chest, strengthen your shoulders and assist your body for lifting heavy objects.
There have been some questions as to how to develop a strong, well rounded chest. This article will teach you various exercises to build your pectoral muscles.
For the first exercise, find a weight bench and lie down on your back with your feet planted on the floor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and place them at your chest. Keep your abdominal muscles tight and lower both arms to the side of your body.
Your elbows should be bent to a ninety degree angle and your palms should face down. Slowly raise your arms back up to an arc position. Straighten your elbows as you bring both weights up to meet each other. Return to the starting position and repeat. To see results, perform two to three sets of twelve repetitions. As with any exercise, it is important to stretch both before and after.
Two additional chest exercises are the high cable crossover and the low cable crossover. The high cable crossover works your lower pectoral muscles and your inner pectoral muscles. The low cable crossovers will add extra shape and firmness to your inner chest muscles.
A bench press can be performed with either a wide grip on the weights or a closed grip. A wide grip bench press will target the lower pectoral muscles while a closed grip bench press will work the inner chest muscles, your upper chest and your biceps. When performing a decline bench press you will work the lower pectoral muscles.
By combining each of these workouts and performing them on a routine basis you will be able to develop a well rounded, strong chest.
