Chest Workout Routine

It's been a widespread feeling that to get the best chest workout you need to work out with a standard bench press station with an Olympic barbell and weights. Although that does make it more simplified, it isn't necessary to develop a good chest.

Many will argue that past a certain point it is essential to use a bench press to develop the chest, especially the size and shape rather than just strength and endurance. I personally think that if you utilize different techniques that you can generate the results you're after.

The most important aspect to keep in mind is to start somewhere, and stick with one program for the right amount of time. That's been a large problem of mine throughout my years of training. I've often started a routine and quickly switched after for some reason or another not liking the original routine. This happened a lot especially with chest workouts because, like other guys, I have had more of a focus on those muscles. Over the years I've learned to even out my focus over all muscles of the body, but that doesn't mean that I don't want a well developed chest.

The main problem with the typical chest workout at home is that things get stagnant. Doing the same type of pushups week after week and month after month won't bring a considerable change. Today I will share with you two simple home workout routines without weights that are going to jump start your chest muscles back into action. Workout #1 is to be performed Mondays, and Fridays, and Workout #2 is on Wednesdays.

On the first Monday, test out your max repetitions. Let's say you did 30 pushups for your max, then for Workout #1 on Friday you do 3 sets of 10 reps for hands wide apart pushups, regular pushups, and hands close pushups. Alternate between each type of pushup. On Wednesdays, put your feet up on a bench or some stair steps and do pushups with an isometric pause at the middle. Pause for a 5-10 second count and try to do 3 sets of 10. Remember to breathe even when you're holding the pushup position. This workout will hit the upper pec area very well, and that combined with the other will cause a great surge of growth, provided you eat enough and get your needed protein.

Remember to track your results and stick with it so you can see your progress.
