How Big Should Your Chest Muscles Be?
Hi there! Erwin here and welcome to Chest Workout Routine Dot Net!
Today, I’ll be talking about how big a man’s chest muscles must be. It will be specific and measurable (in inches), so please read on…
As you may already know, doing a chest workout routine without any goal is not a very pleasant way of doing it. You’ll be working it out without any clear idea of what is enough.
So how big should your chest be?
Well it depends on how tall you are. And it is regardless of your body type – whether you are an endomorph, a mesomorph, or an ectomorph. It’s true for everybody. How big your chest (and your whole body) is must be proportionate to your height.
And yet, many bodybuilders forget about this simple and basic principle. By the way, I learned about this principle that I don’t have to look like a bodybuilding champion or a WWE wrestler from Rusty Moore’s Visual Impact website. And it was life-changing for me.
OK, to save you from computations, here are the stats for your own personal use. Good luck!
Height — Shoulder Width
5’6″ — 47.7 in
5’7″ — 48.5 in
5’8″ — 49.2 in
5’9″ — 49.9 in
5’10″ — 50.6 in
5’11″ — 51.4 in
6’0″ — 52.1 in
6’1″ — 52.8 in
6’2″ — 53.5 in
6’3″ — 54.2 in
6’4″ — 55 in
6’5″ — 55.7 in
You may now begin to ask: “But these are about shoulder width and not about chest size?!” Well, all chest exercises do not only target the chest muscles. Doing a chest workout routine also smokes surrounding muscles – the shoulders, arms, and abs just to name a few.
So, I advise you now to please stand up and get your height and shoulder width measurements! Be sure to stand straight in taking these measurements (like how military men stand up).
When you measure your shoulder width, be sure that the measuring tape is on the level just above the armpits. Then, let it go around that whole area of your upper body.
Once you get the measurements, you already know what to workout your chest for and how much chest workout routine you need. You have already taken a huge step towards having that perfect chest that women just adore! You now have a goal!
Alright! That’s it!
