Best Chest Workout Routine

Archive for August, 2009

Who says you need a gym to get a good chest workout? A home chest workout, when done creatively can often produce better results than a gym workout routine. You can even start tightening up you man boobs with some very simple chest exercises at home. Lets start with the most common of all chest exercises- the push-up. Now you might be able to do a lot of push-ups or maybe you are just starting and you have a hard time doing 5 in a row. So to make this workout routine the same difficulty for everyone, you will see how many push-ups you can do at one time without resting. You will then take that number and multiply it by 3. So if you can do 20 push-ups max at one time you will multiply 20 by 3 and get 60. You will then time yourself and try to accomplish this many in 5 minutes.

You might not be able to do it the first time and that’s okay. You will have something to work up to. After a week you max number of push-ups will increase greatly and you will have to recalculate your number. This is a great way to really shock the muscles of your chest and believe me, you will get very sore from this workout the first couple times.
You don’t have to keep it so plain either. If you want to challenge yourself a little bit, you can put your feet on something higher than the ground, such as a bed. This will now be more difficult because you will be using your upper chest muscles more. Focusing on the upper chest is the best way to get rid of man boobs because you will tighten and lift your pecs.

Many women are under the impression that if they lift weights they will bulk up and look like a man. This could not be further from the truth. No woman will bulk up unless they are lifting massive amounts of weight. This means you have to be trying to bulk up for year before you will ever begin to. If you are a woman you must realize that in order to look great you need to lift weights. Every woman wants a great looking firm chest and the way you get it is by doing chest workouts for women that will tighten the underlying muscles of the chest. This will involve doing the upper, lower, inner and outer parts of you chest.
So how do you go about working the chest if you are a woman?

Well, you don’t have to worry about lifting heavy weight right away. In fact you will see the best results by mixing things up greatly. Don’t just stick to the traditional 12 to 15 reps like is suggested for women. You will need to do some days of liting where you do really low reps of 4 to 6 and some days where you go super high in reps up to 100. The new way of getting great results is starting to get away from the bodybuilder workout routines and move to more random workouts like you would see on crossfit. Don’t be scared to do completely different workout routines one day from the next. The best results will many times come from doing things that others won’t. I recommend finding people to workout with that will push you to the max and that you can help motivate during workouts as well. If you don’t have anyone to workout with you might benefit from having a good workout music playlist to pump you up during workouts. You need to go into every workout with a set routine that you want to complete in a certain amount of time. This will prevent you from wasting time by resting too much.
Just as is suggested for men, women should focus on developing the muscles of the upper chest first and foremost because it is the most difficult part to build. And for women having a tighter upper chest will lift the breast and prevent sagging. This alone is enough motivation for every woman to start working out at the gym.
