A move that adds the most chest weight over any other movement, the flat bench barbell chest press is frequently referred to as the king of upper body exercises and with reasons that are valid: due to its extended angle as well as the involvement of more muscles, it permits huge quantities in weight lift. When done properly, it helps to isolate the pec area, which stimulates the maximum amount of muscle fibers to be recruited.

Muscles were worked throughout the chest region

Advantages allow for a wider flexibility of motion and is more secure (compared with bench press).

Execution

Begin with dumbbells pressing together (with arms extended fully and palms in front of feet) Slowly lower weights until each one is in contact with the middle of the chest prior to (without taking a break) returning to the beginning position.

Dumbbell Bench Press

As with the bench press the dumbbell model is designed to maximize muscles fibers, however with a twist to build muscle that allows for a more extensive range of motion since each arm operates independently so those muscles in the chest are faced with greater challenges and have to perform more effectively to support the arms throughout the full range of movement. Additionally, since the arms aren’t shackled in a fixed position (as the case with bar) The shoulder joints are able to freely adjust their own natural angles of ascent and descent. this could stimulate muscles with more fibers, while also causing less injuries.

Muscles were worked all over the chest area

Benefits: Provides a greater flexibility of motion and is more secure (compared with bench press).

Execution

Start the exercise by pressing dumbbells together (with arms extended fully and palms facing the feet) gradually lower the weights until each dumbbell gets to the outside of the chest prior to (without taking a break) pressing them back to their starting position.

Weighted Chest Dip

A great movement to create lower chest depth. The dip helps to create the deep separation of this area to create that squared-off appearance essential for a perfect pec proportion and shape. Start by using your body weight until 12 repetitions can be done with flawless technique. Then, add weights as you increase your training load in a an orderly fashion between sessions.

Muscles trained in lower pecs

Benefits A great lower pec shaping movement that also increases dimension.

Execution

Put your hands on the dip bars (holding your upper body still and tensing the triceps) and slowly lower the upper body with knees bent till arms bend at 90 degrees. When you have lowered the entire body, push the upper body back to its beginning position, making sure shoulders are locked in the position to prevent an injury to the rotator cuff.

Incline Dumbbell Press

The primary focus of upper chest development can be accomplished with the dumbbell incline presses which is probably the most effective exercise that exists. It allows for a larger range of motion when compared to straight-bar versions it will assist to strengthen that crucial clavicle-clavicle-like ridge to help balance chest development from top to the bottom. Like their bench-based counterparts it is important to keep this exercise careful and controlled, due to the shaky position on the dumbbells (above that of the head) as well as the fact that it is a limitation of the lower pec’s involvement.

Muscles exercised on the upper chest.

Advantages offer a wide range of motion, and lets you develop fully the pecs on top.

Execution

Set the incline bench to 30-degrees. Completely move using flat bench protocols except for dropping the dumbbells towards the front deltoids, instead of the pecs that are on the outside.

Flat Bench Fly

A variant that is similar to the bench press with dumbbells that it allows for a full contracting of your pectoralis major fibers. the bench flyer that is flat is – and that applies to its incline counterpart as well is however, for two primary reasons, a more challenging chest-training exercise. First of all the elbow joints during the course of the exercise remain set angle that limit your the range of motion.

Furthermore, due to the lack of elbow joint assistance and the fact that it is a fixed resistance plane and its fixed plane of resistance, the lifting weight is restricted, and the process should be considered slow and cautious. This isn’t a straightforward process of controlled lowering, followed by pressing. The weights have to be placed in a secure manner before being pulled to their maximum by pure pec force. Flying is known to work more effectively on the chest’s inner muscles than pressing exercises.

Muscles were worked across the entire chest with a focus in the fibers of the inside.

Benefits work the chest and creates a stronger maximum contraction (compared to dumbbells).

Execution

Sitting on a bench, keeping elbow joints at a straight angle and slowly lower the dumbbells until the palms are nearly parallel to the chest’s outer edge. Press dumbbells in a tight circle as well as squeeze the pecs.

Incline Fly

In conjunction with an incline in dumbbell presses this exercise will target the upper pecs in contrast to the dumbbell version and because of lower deltoid activity at the highest point of the exercise the peak of the exercise can be achieved.

Muscles trained in the upper chest

Benefits The focus will be put on the upper pecs. A better squeeze can be achieved when the exercise is completed.

Execution

Recreate the flat bench flyer shape however, one difference that is the dumbbells should be placed angled (on the 30-degree inclined bench) over the head instead of being at chest level, and then lower to the frontal deltoids , rather than to the chest’s outside.
