Building Chest Muscle

If you are interested in building chest muscle, this is just what you have been looking for. I will teach you about building muscle without weights, and with weights to develop a massive, ripped chest.

There are a few different ways to go about building chest muscle, so let’s cover that first. One way is to lift very heavy weights in good form for 5 to 12 reps per set. Another way is to do a large volume of work with lighter weights, or without weights at all. Some people like to alternate these types of workouts, and that works fine, but I like to combine them into one workout to take my muscle growth to a new level.

One of the most basic chest exercises is the bench press. This multi-joint, compound movement is great for chest development, and should play a major role in your plan for building chest muscle. Perform 3 sets of 5 reps in this exercise, lifting as much weight as you can with good form. Rest for 3 minutes between each set and stretch out your chest. That will take care of the heavy weights and will stimulate your chest muscles to grow. Now that the heavy work is done, we can start with the hard work.

Our next exercise in our quest for a ripped chest is the Incline Dumbbell Press. For this exercise we want to get a good stretch at the bottom of each repetition, and a strong contraction at the top. Do these for 5 sets of 12 repetitions, taking only 2 minutes to rest and stretch between each set. If you do these properly, it will be very difficult, but well worth it.

Supplements for Building Chest Muscle

We will finish up this workout for building chest muscle by showing you one of the best ways to build muscle without weights. You have already lifted heavy weights in good form and moderate weights for high volume, so there is only one thing left to do, and that is to flush the chest muscle with blood.

Parallel bar Dips will be the final exercise for a ripped chest. Depending upon your strength levels, you will be doing between 20 and 40 reps per set for 5 sets. Keep your chin tucked in towards your chest and lean forward slightly. Don't pause at the top or bottom of the movement, just keep moving throughout these sets. I guarantee you, that if you can make it through this workout, you will stimulate muscle growth in your chest like never before. This is one of those things in which you get out what you put in. Great effort equals great results.

Now take this knowledge, and get out and use it! Make sure to load your body with protein and some good muscle building supplements like creatine. Good luck!
