How Big Should Your Chest Muscles Be?

October 10th, 2011 No comments

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! :)

Chest Workout Routine: Interesting Chest Exercises To Build Your Chest Muscles

July 14th, 2011 No comments

Hey there!

We’ve actually found an interesting muscle-building site for guys who are looking for a chest workout routine. It’s called The Visual Impact Muscle Building Course (Strategic Muscle Gains For A Visually Stunning Body), by Rusty Moore.

What’s Its Difference from Other Muscle-Building Courses?

Well, the answer to that is clear right from the start…

It’s not about how much weight you can lift or for how many times. It’s not even about the sets and reps of each workout routine. It’s all about having that perfect body that you could have – a body that is visually stunning!

It goes against the common mentality of the bodybuilding world that for you to have the best body, you must be able lift the heaviest weights, do it for the most number of times, have the biggest muscles, etc…

Rusty Moore instead teaches that muscle-building does not have to be like that. Just think about which you would want – a body of a weightlifting champion or a body like Daniel Craig or Taylor Lautner?

Well, if you want to be the biggest, then this course is not for you…

Because it’s a way of building muscle with the goal of achieving a Hollywood-look lean body!

  • Chapter 05: Hybrid Muscle Building
    Mixing different muscle building and strength training principles for your ideal results

  • Chapter 14: Building Mass on Upper Body Only
    Just focusing on building size in the upper body or specializing on a particular body part
  • Chapter 15: Final Thoughts
  • Questions and Answers

Aside from the main book, it also comes with the demo sheets and the practice sheets. The demo sheets include the illustrations of all the exercises you’ll need for the workouts. The practice sheets include the specific workouts you’ll be having for the day (which means you’ll be bringing just one sheet of paper for your workout).

With this course, you’ll not just be taught about some set chest exercise routines. It is rather a chest workout routine with a goal – for you to have the best pecs that you could ever have. At first, there are some set routines but once you “get” the how-to of it, you can already make your own. It’s sort of not only giving you fish but also teaching you how to fish. :)

The course also has updates, additions, tips and tricks every 2 weeks on how to have that Hollywood-type of body.

Best of luck,

Chest Exercises

July 14th, 2011 No comments

All guys want to have better-shaped chests. It’s a sign of masculinity and women just love it!

But because of this need for better chests, men enslave themselves in the gym trying to do each and all chest exercises – that’s how the majority make their chest workout routine!

That’s not really right. Doing so might make the chests bigger but it would greatly affect the appearance of the whole body. No one exercise entirely targets the chest muscles alone. They always go with other muscles especially the arms, abs, and back. (You may visit this site to discover how to balance your exercises and workouts.)

You generally only need 2 kinds of motion for your chest exercises: presses and flyes. Presses are more effective so focus more on them. (But please don’t skip the flyes!)

Okay, without much blah-blah…

Below is an example of a chest workout routine that you may integrate with your other exercise routines for your other muscles. You may do this workout routine for 8 weeks, every 1st day of your weekly exercise.

  • Flat Bench Press (Barbell)

Lie on back on the flat bench. Dismount the barbell from the rack over your upper chest using the overhand grip. Space your hands evenly across the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width.

Lower the weight to your chest. Press bar up until arms are extended. (Do not lock your elbows at the top of the movement.) Then repeat.

Be careful not to arch your back in order to complete the exercise. Inhale on the downward phase of the movement and exhale on the upward phase.

Also, it’s important to sit up straight during the short rest periods (45 secs). It won’t feel good in the head if you don’t. (Because your blood will rush to your head.)

Rep Scheme: 12 (1st rep), 10 (2nd rep), 8 (3rd rep), 6 (4th rep), 12-15 (5th rep)

Gradually increase the weight each time from 1st-4th rep but the 5th rep should be light.

  • Dumbbell Flyes (Flat)

Grasp 2 dumbbells and lie back on the flat bench. Position the dumbbells above the chest with the arms in a slightly bent (45 degrees at most) position.

Flatten your feet on the floor or on the bench.

With elbows fixed in a slightly bent position, lower the dumbbells to the sides until you feel the chest muscles are stretched enough. In a hugging-like movement, bring the dumbbells back until they are nearly together. Then repeat.

Rep Scheme: 4 sets with the same weight, 12 reps each (rest only for 45 seconds in between sets)

  • Incline Bench Press (Dumbbell)

Sit on an incline bench with both dumbbells resting upon your lower thighs. Keep your feet firmly pressed down on the floor for stability. Hold dumbbells to the sides of the chest. Upper arm should be parallel with floor.

With the elbows always to the sides, press the dumbbells up until both arms are extended. Lower the dumbbells to the sides of the upper chest until you feel a slight stretch in your shoulder or chest. (Do not lock your elbows at the top of the movement.) Then repeat.

Be careful not to arch your back in order to complete the exercise. Inhale on the downward phase of the movement and exhale on the upward phase.

Rep Scheme: 4 sets with the same weight, 12 reps each (rest only for 45 seconds in between sets)

In all exercises, it’s important that you do not bounce the weight so you get the most out of them. It’s also important that you keep your rest periods short (60 seconds max). There’s a reason why athletes have their stopwatches during trainings. Do not trust your body clock when it comes to this.

After 8 weeks of following this chest workout routine, you’ll surely have better and bigger chests than what you have now. After that is the higher phase of building your chest muscles…

The Chest Muscles

July 14th, 2011 No comments

chest musclesBefore any chest workout routine, it’s important that you know how the chest muscles are structured.

The structure…

This is just to clarify things. Many people think that there are 2 chest muscles. That’s not true at all. It’s rather that it’s only one continuous muscle (the pectoralis muscle) with 2 major parts: the pectoralis major (the part which can be seen) and the pectoralis minor (the one underneath). The naming is just to distinguish the different parts of the same muscle.
