How To Build Chest Muscles – Tips For Putting Size On Your Upper Body

Posted on Jul 24, 2010 under Weight Training | No Comment

Learning to build chest muscles is probably the very first thing you learned when you were given in the gymnasium.  I know when I started lifting in tenth grade that was the first thing that I was taught.  I can still remember doing the bench press with a 10lb.  Weight on all sides of the bar.  It was a huge achievement when I had a 25lb weight on each side.  I believed that have a plate on each side meant that I had arrived.  Now a plate is just warm up and doing 2 per side is more of a normal thing. 

Over the years I have been taught some methods that have helped me to put size on pretty quickly and I’m going to share it with you now. 

Teaching somebody the best way to build chest muscles is rather easy.  They just have to follow one or two straightforward steps and they are going to gain size.  The very first thing that you will need to grasp is you’ve got to mix dumbbell and barbell exercises up.  As an example : if you are doing barbell bench presses then the next exercise must be incline dumbbell press. 

The reason behind this is that when doing the dumbbells you are turning on stabilizer muscles that aren’t being employed in barbell exercises.  So you would like to have 1 of each type per workout.  So the next time you might do dumbbell flat bench press and barbell incline press.  Most people stick to all of one type one week and then switch the next.  .  That’s nowhere near as effective. 

The second thing you want to find out about the proper way to build chest muscles is to decelerate.  When doing the downward or negative part of your reps you want to slow down enormously.  Instead of bringing the weight to your chest fast do it deliberate and slowly.  This will force more blood into the muscle and put more strain which will turn into more size long term. 

So these tips here have helped me specifically to put more size on my muscles.  You should be able to employ them as well to put mass on your Pecs in a short period of time.
