Barbell Bench Press
This exercise helps to build the maximum power with barbells. Apart from
being an easier alternative than pressing heavy dumbbells this exercise
allows you to shift more weight. It is absolutely easy to learn exercise
if not master it apart from which there are many prom bench press
exercises you can follow to add on to your strength. It is recommended
that you perform this routine at the start of the chest workout and if you
change the width of your grip on the barbell it can help in complete chest
development
Flat Bench Dumbbell Press
When you use a dumbbell for your exercise both the sides of your body get
a workout as more muscles are brought into use. It is true that dumbbells
are difficult to control as compared to barbell but even this is true that
dumbbell allow a longer and wider range of motion as compared to barbell.
It is recommended to do this exercise again towards the start of your
chest exercises for heavy sets in lower rep ranges
Incline Barbell Bench Press
When a barbell bench press is performed at a steep angle the pressure is
on the front delts than the chest to move the weight. Instead of that try
for a lesser steep incline to put back the pressure on the upper pecs
rather than the delts. Usually chest exercises start from flat benches
towards the incline. But it is a good habit to ever so often start with an
incline first. This can be beneficial to put more stress on the upper pecs
and induce more growth
Machine decline press
While doing a machine decline presses the next time consider sitting side
ways on the apparatus and pressing your body each arm at a time. This way
it provides a completely diverse feeling unlike when you use the apparatus
sitting straight. By sitting sideways on the machine you can increase the
effects of the press. You could perform this exercise as the last
mutijoint exercise of your routine
Seated Machine chest press
As compared to free weight pressing moves on the flat bench, machine
press has some additional benefits. Firstly it is easier to slow down your
repetitions and secondly it is great for doing quick dropsets. If your
soul purpose is to gain mass then this exercise is recommended in the last
of the routine as machines provide higher chances at mass building with
least assistance for the shoulder
Incline Dumbell Press
Dumbbell presses are a priority in every exercise routine there can be a
number of variations with a adjustable instead of a fixed bench. When a
muscle is hit from different degrees of incline it helps the building
process more thoroughly. This comes usually in the first position in your
routine of exercises but can easily be pushed back to the third. Just
remember that the later this exercise is done lesser is the weight you can
push
Dips for chest
First of all make sure you are doing the dips right for a chest exercise.
The right form is to put your feet back and lean forward as much as
possible and flaring your elbows as you dip. It depends on your strength
as to when is this exercise performed
Incline bench cable fly
There are not many single joint exercises on the list but this is an
effective exercise for your pecs to segregate them after you finish your
multi joint exercises. A continuous tension is maintained with the help of
the cables throughout the exercise. This exercise is recommended at the
end of the workout with slightly higher reps
Incline Dumbbell Pullover
As compared to the flat bench pull over’s, these incline bench pull
over’s create tension on your chest fibers for a higher range of motion.
What you just have to do is settle back against a bench inclined at 45
degrees and just make sure that the dumbbell makes it to the top. Also try
to keep this as a single joint movement which means no bending or
extending of the elbows
Pec deck machine
Chest flyers can prove to be hard for you if you have just started or a
trainee. Because the arms are locked in a bent position for the duration
of the exercise with dumbbells or cables. But the peck deck exercise
proves much simpler because here it needs to be worked on just one pathway
at a time. It is recommended to perform this exercise in the last of your
routine for sets of 10-12
