24 February 2010 No Comment

It’s very discouraging when you spend spend so much time performing exercises, but your body still isn’t even close to the muscular body you want. Many at this point give up, they simply say that working out is useless, that they are never going to look they way they want. Instead of figuring out what they are doing wrong, they give up.

The one thing they are most likely doing wrong is that they arn’t following a proper workout program. If you want to see drastic changes in your body, your going to need help. Your program or routine needs to be carefully planned, each exercise you perform and when you perform it is important. If it isn’t, you can end up wasting a lot of time and sweat lifting weights and not seeing results.

By following these 3 tips to build a bigger chest, you will see results.

  • Don’t allow gravity to help you! The negative phase of a rep is just as important. By allowing gravity to help you lower the weight, you arn’t getting the full workout and are missing out on vital exertions because the negative phase is very tough, if not tougher.
  • If you are using barbells, then switch to dumbbells. For maximum results, use dumbbells because they make you work each pectoral muscle separately. You body isn’t perfectly symmetrical, so when you use barbells for your workouts, you allowing your stronger side to do most of the work. Therefore, your weaker side isn’t doing much more, so it doesn’t grow as fast. Dumbbells allow you to build each side separately for maximum muscle gain.
  • This tip is not just specifically for building a big chest, but for your entire body. Keep your workouts short to about 25-30 minutes(with 15 minutes of stretching) and make them more intense. A short, high intensity workout will help you build muscle more quickly. Remember to keep the intensity high every workout, but of course to a level which you can actually perform each exercise correctly. Your body will get stronger and stronger, which means your workouts need to be more and more intense as your muscle grow.

What I like most about this video, besides the workout routine, is that he really emphasizes on stretching your chest muscles. Stretching is very important when it comes to growth and overall health of your muscles.
