How To Get That Chiseled Chest For Males

TOP 5 PECTORAL WORKOUT EXERCISES FOR A CHISELED CHEST

I think I can speak for all women when saying, the pecs are one of the most noticed sets of muscles on a male...and you know we love to see that bulging chest. The chest is the one the largest muscle groups on your body, and it is used in most of the activities you do that require use of the upper body. For example, swinging a tennis racket or swiping that hockey stick. 

Let The Games Begin Gentalmen....

#1- Bench Press Decline (targeting lower pectoral muscles) 
  • Lie down on a decline bench. It should usually be angled from 30* to 45*. The angle is all about comfort. 
  • Lift the bar off the rack carefully and hold it straight above your head ( if you are a beginner, you should always have a spotter with you in case something happens). 
  • Lower the bar until it touches your chest and then return to the starting position. 
  • Repeat as many times as you can.
#2- Bench Press On Incline (targeting upper pectoral muscles)
  • Lie down on a decline bench. It should usually be angled from 30* to 45*. The angle is all about comfort. 
  • Lift the bar off the rack carefully and hold is straight above your head (if you are a beginner, you should always have a spotter with you in case something happens). 
  • Lower the bar until it slightly touches your pectorals , and then return to the starting position. 
#3-Standing Cable Cross-Overs
  • Find a cable machine at your gym and stand between the two cable handles. 
  • While keeping your arms slightly in a locked position, lower both cables until they cross each other. 
  • Back to starting position, slowly. 
#4- Pec-Deck Flys 
  • Sit on the machine, make sure upper body is being supported by the back rest. Rest your hands behind the pads and grasp the handles. 
  • Pull arms together across the front of your body until touching. 
  • Open arms slowly and pull back together. 
#5- Flat Bench Dumbell
  • Lie on a flat bench on your back Keep your feet on the ground, and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Weight is dependent on your strength ability. 
  • Lower both dumbbells in a semi-circle type movement. Keep arms in a straight path. 
  • Keep on lowering dumbbells until they are at your shoulder level. Back to starting position. And repeat.
