Important Information
The chest, better known as the Pectoral Muscle connects the front wall of the chest with the bones of the upper arm and shoulders. These muscles should be worked out about twice a week, with a 2-3 day rest in-between.
- Bench Press
This can either be dumbbell bench press or regular bench press. This exercise is done lying down on a bench and pressing (pushing) weight upwards. Keeping your feet flat and back straight on the bench, put your hands on the bar at shoulder width. Bring the weight down to your chest and then straight back up.

- Inclined Bench Press
In this variation of the bench press, you incline the bench up. This helps target the upper pec more. Keeping your feet flat and back straight, grab the bar slightly wider than your shoulders, push the weight up and then lowering by bending at the elbow.

In this exercise I mainly focus on the seated machine one. Adjust the seat so that the handles are at chest level and in line with shoulders. Grab the handles and then bring the two handles together, squeezing your chest when the handles touch.
