Pec Workouts at Home

pec workouts

Pec workouts at home are done differently than you would do them at the gym. Pectoral workouts, when done at home will tend to be of higher reps because most people don’t have enough weight laying around the house to do low rep exercises.

Chest exercises are done in many different ways but you might not be able to think of any besides the normal push-up. We have already discussed the push-up workout routine known as 7 minutes in hell. Here we will discuss some other workouts you can do to really get those pecs pumped up with a killer home workout routine.

One thing you need is an exercise ball, the big ones that you can do crunches on. You will use this to do some great stabilizing exercises for your chest. To really challenge yourself, put your feet up on a couch and put your hands on the ball instead of on the ground. These will be very hard and you need to do each rep slowly. Try doing a 4 second up and 4 second down count.

Easy at home chest workouts include push-ups and flys. The easiest chest workout is the wall push-up because you don’t have to fight against gravity.

Does your wrist hurt when doing push-ups?
This is fairly common, and can be resolved in most cases by using perfect pushup bars. If you don’t want to spend the money on them, I would simply use dumbbells so that you can wrap your hands around the handles while doing the pushups. This way your wrist can stay straight instead of being bent to a 90 degree angle like it would on the ground.
