Want to have a bigger chest/bustline training at home?
Men
and women alike, desire to have bigger pectoral (chest) muscles. Men know that having a
bigger chest makes them look good in T-shirt but also makes them look more macho. Properly
trained, women will have bigger chest muscles underneath their breast tissues which will
increase their overall bust girth, hence enhancing their sexiness. As you can see, both
sexes can increase their confidence level and therefore benefit from bigger chest muscles.
Gym
goers almost instinctively know that bench presses and flyes are the main exercises for
building a bigger, sculpted chest. For those who does not have assess to a gym, here is a
great (but not new) exercise one can do in the privacy of your home. Drum rolling
please...: Introducing
PUSHUPS!
Yes, pushups is not only a perfect exercise for your chest, it also hit to great
degree your triceps (back of your upper arms) and deltoids (shoulder muscles), the
same set of muscles used in executing a bench press. Both exercises are identical. The
only advantage of using a bench press is probably the choice of using a weight to suit
your strength level. However, pushups can also be modified to suit your strength level.
And by manipulating the repetitions and the hands stance, one can also increase/decrease
the difficulty of the exercise.
A standard push up description:
Lie face down on the floor and position your hands apart (slightly wider than
shoulder width) on the floor at about. Your legs and body should be straight and your head
should be in line with the spine.
Press yourself upwards, fully straightening, but not locking out, your elbows and
supporting the lower body on the toes.
Return to the starting position. This version is meant for people with normal
strength.
Here are other versions of pushups you can try if you find the above version too
easy/difficult:
For the not-so-strong: Do knees on the floor pushups or wall pushups.
For the strong: Do feet elevated (on a table/chair) pushups.
To work more on the triceps and deltoids: Do pushups with hands closer, about 6
inches.
For those who feel that bench press is still superior because of the challenge
they get from bench pressing a heavy weight, do this: count 10 secs when you are lowering
yourself for every rep. This will definitely have your chest screaming for mercy!
There you go, simple home made 'bench presses' for your chest. Hope you'll have
your own 'chest full of treasure' in the weeks to come.
