Build Chest Muscle

By Jason Taingahue
Do you want to learn how to build chest muscle? Do you want to look buff when going out into town or just walking around generally? If you have said yes to both of these questions then read on and I will show you how to build chest muscle beyond your wildest dreams.

The first thing that we need to know when we want to build chest muscle is that there are quite a few exercises that we could use when wanting to build chest muscle and there are 2 types of movements that we use when learning to build chest muscle and these are compound exercises and isolation exercises. Let me give you a quick run down on what both of these movements can do. The first is a compound movement and a compound movement is one where it targets a broad area of the muscle it is working, for instance in the bench press you target several areas of the chest where as an isolation movement is one where you are generally targeting only one specific part of the muscle. A good example of an isolation movement is the pec deck or some flye's.

In our quest to build chest muscle we will mainly be using compound movements and we will only be working out on the chest muscles once a week. The reason that we only work on the chest muscles once a week is because we will be working them really hard and the harder that you work the chest muscles, the more recovery time you need.

So lets take a look at our programme when learning how to build chest muscle. The programme that we follow is as follows

Monday
Chest-Incline Dumbell press, Dumbell press, Decline press, Dumbell flye's.
4 sets of each exercise for 10 repetitions, rest periods of 1 minute between each set
Only do this once a week and then repeat the next week.

The rest of the week's workout would be as follows

Tuseday-REST Wednesday-Back, biceps Thursday-Legs Friday-REST Saturday-Shoulders, triceps Sunday-REST

The way to build chest muscle routine is as easy as that. You can also use a spotter when using this chest workout as well. A spotter is someone who can help you on say your last three lifts of one particular set of exercises. They spur you on to set your mind up for those last lifts and also they are there to help you a little bit if you can't get those last repetitions up.

The other thing that you need to know when learning how to build chest is to change the programme every 4 weeks. The reason that we change the programme when learning how to build chest is because the body adapts fairly quickly and it needs to be shocked for a new stimulus around about every 3-4 weeks.

If you are going to follow this programme and you are only a beginner in learning how to build chest muscle then don not worry about any diet. If you are an advanced lifter, I would advise that you consult a gym instructor or a dietitian for a suitable diet.

Anyway good luck on your quest to learning how to build chest muscle and remember that you are the only one that can build chest muscle within yourself and self belief is the key to anything.

So what are you waiting for lets get to it and build, build build that chest.
