Bodybuilder Workout Routines To Build Your Chest

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to build chest that you can be proud of.

Having a broad chest that women will admire when you walk into a room has been the dream of many guys for eons...

Or, for the women... having a toned and sleek chest that accentuates your natural assets in a feminine way has been desired by women for thousands of years...

And you know what? Having a chest that you want is absolutely attainable. I tell my clients this all the time... "Do the work -- do the chest exercise routines... and you will see positive results!"

But be sure to incorporate the expert tips and tricks into your overall exercise plan to avoid shoulder injuries that will set your best laid plans back...

Improper weightlifting techniques and over training always increase your chances of injuring your shoulders or back. So do the routines correctly or if you aren't sure how, talk to your personal trainer...

The workout routines that you are doing today will target your entire upper body. Your chest -- your shoulders -- and your muscles will be exhausted. But the level of exhaustion will be just right -- and you avoid injuries!

We will be doing the basic chest workouts but throw in a few twists to make it more interesting. And since you will be training in the super-chest-workout mode -- you get in and out of the gym in the least time possible.

I included a substitution for women for one Super-set if you are worried about adding too much mass to your chest. And everyone can definitely modify this workout plan to fit their physical goals.

Bodybuilder Workout Routines to Build Your Chest

Chest Super-set 1:

(Rest 1 minute between each exercise and 1.5 minutes before repeating the Super-set)

* A-1: Dumbbell flat chest press -- four sets of six reps

* A-2: Barbell row -- four sets of eight reps

Chest Super-set 2:

(don't rest between exercises and rest 1 minute before repeating the Super-set)

* B-1: Dumbbell incline press -- three sets of 8 reps

* B-2: Dumbbell chest fly -- three sets of ten reps

Chest Super-set 3:

(don't rest between exercises and rest 1 minute before repeating the Super-set)

* C-1: Medium Grip Bench Press -- three sets of ten reps

* C-2: Dumbbell external rotation -- three sets of ten reps

Exercise substitution for women:

Do only two sets of each of the exercises above.

A-1: do the # of maximum push-ups that you can do instead of using Dumbbell flat chest press

Exercise descriptions:

Dumbbell flat chess press:

Lie on the bench. Hold the Dumbbells above your chest with your palms facing your feet. Lower the Dumbbells to the chest level and then press the Dumbbells up above the chest. Easy and steady.

Barbell Row:

Stand up with your torso bent and parallel to the floor. But don't round your lower back. Keep that back straight. Keep knees slightly bent. Contract your abs to support your back. Grab the barbell and row it to your abdomen -- bringing your shoulders blades together. Slowly lower the barbells and then repeat.

Dumbbell Incline Press:

Lie on your back on the forty-five degree bench. Hold the Dumbbells above your chest with your palms facing your feet. Now, lower the Dumbbells to your chest level. And then press the Dumbbells straight up above the chest. Repeat.

Dumbbell Fly:

Stay on the forty-five degree bench but this time hold the Dumbbells above your chest but your palms will be facing each other. The key thing to remember is to keep your elbows slightly bent at all times to avoid overextending them. Now, lower your arms until they are to your sides BUT don't go below the shoulder level! Now use your chest muscles to help your arms push up the Dumbbells to the starting postion. Be in control the whole time -- otherwise you are probably using too much

weight.

Medium Grip Bench Press: Lie down on a flat bench. Feet flat on the floor and upper back against the bench. Grip the bar half-way between your shoulder width and your normal bench press grip. Keep your elbows close to your sides and lower the bar straight down to your chest level. Now, slowly push the bar back straight up above your chest.

Dumbbell External Rotation:

Start with a light Dumbbell (perhaps five pounds). Sit down on the flat bench and bend your left knee. Place your left foot at the end of the bench and rest your left elbow on the top of your left knee. Hold the Dumbbell in the bottom position and slowly rotate the Dumbbell using your muscles in the rotator cuff. Rotate the Dumbbell up and back until it is in the finish position when your forearm is perpendicular to your body at the top of the movement.

This chest workout trick can be done several times a day by anyone to get an instant increase in chest size.

You can do this either when you are sitting down in your chair at the workplace or standing up in line. But you will need some space. The first thing you will do is extend your arms in front of you with your palms facing outwards. Now externally rotate your shoulders and try to use your muscles to touch both should blades together. Squeeze your muscles as hard as you can and hold that position as long as you can. You should feel a lot of tension within your muscles in your back and front.

This is a good isometric exercise to perform to get the kinks out of your body while sitting in your chair for long periods of time at work.

Good job!
