The Chest is one of those beach muscles everyone wants and strives to develop. When I think of the Chest, I think of Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic side-chest pose.
Now there are various strategies and methods to target the chest, and some of them typically get complicated.
In this blog post, we simplify the chest so that you may optimize its development!
The Chest consists of two major muscle groups: the Pectoralis Major and Pectoralis Minor. These muscles allow the shoulder joint and our arms to move in its various directions.
Many people will segment their chest into an “upper, middle and lower pec”. However, there are many ways to effectively segment your chest.
Our strategies consist of many ways to optimize chest development. Please note that most are suggestions and are based upon a general population from scientific research.
Instead of targeting an upper, middle, and lower pec, we typically strategize our chest sessions in this way:
The following exercises can be Barbell or Dumbbell exercises:
Chest Dips can be added as a pressing exercise. For some people, weighted dips can really add development to the chest.
Recall that Chest Isolation exercises really focus on "squeezing" the chest. We typically recommend choosing the isolation exercises that benefit you the most.
To summarize, we recommend that we train your chest with 12-20 sets weekly. This would equate to training your chest 2-3x weekly. To optimize your chest training, you should train your chest from various angles. We can do this in the following way:
As you can see here, the chest is a simplistic muscle to train. If you constantly progress while targeting these angles, you will develop a solid chest over time.
If you have any questions or additional information, let's keep the discussion going and throw it in the comments before.
