A muscle group which a lot of guys spend hours upon hours working on is the chest. Day in and day out people go to the gym, jump on the bench, and press till their heart is content. It's not uncommon to see people simply doing flat bench presses for chest along with some flye movements.

To build an overall strong and well developed chest you need to do more than just a flat bench press. You need to hit the chest from different angles and really simulate and break down those fibers to see some growth.

This video will show you some tips and workouts for building perfect pecs. Let's first talk a little about the chest and the musculature so you can fully understand how the chest works.

The chest is made up of two muscles: the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor.

The pecs are found attached to the humerus of the arm, right near where the shoulder joint is. The pecs then run across the front of the body and originate on the breastbone. The pectoralis major is attached to the front of the body on the rib cage. The pectoralis minor is found underneath the pectoralis major. It originates on the ribs and attaches up to the scapula, specifically at the coracoid process.

The pectoralis major brings the humerus across the body while the pectoralis minor moves the shoulders forward.

n order to have a fully developed chest, there are a couple qualities that you must possess: * You want to have thick pectoral muscle mass. * You want to have the inside/outside and the upper/lower pectorals developed. * When you flex you want to be able to see striations. * When raising your arms up you want to make sure that you have enough thickness so your chest doesn't disappear.

  • @markmontgomeryshow what a load of bullshit. dont comment if you dont kow what your talking about. 1. how has protein got anything to do with a sugar crash, 2. working out while watching tv, REALLY!? 3. 3-5 reps does nothing? thats bullshit, 3-5 reps is for power training at a maximum weight. 4. 12-20, does nothing except tone.

  • i want to bulk so what a good set and rep i should do???

  • @The180Clown no. doing a heavy weight with 3-5 reps does nothing for you. doing something a little challenging that you can do 12-20 reps is good. and if you really want to go extreme then lift weights for thirty minutes while watching tv and make sure you eat protein so you don't get a sugar crash

  • @The180Clown 3-5 reps is strength 8-12 is for mass

  • I RLLY want big arms so plz plz plz plz answer me lol. I'm gonna be using bench presses mainly and I hear that selecting a weight that you can only do 3-5 reps of is the best way is that true? Thx for all ur help man u rlly help me a lot :)
