Top 5 Exercise Tips for Stronger and Bigger Chest

December 31, 2021

Pectoralis major or muscle chest is one of the most favorite muscles to be trained by gym-goers. The popular training that people often do is the bench press. Here are some exercise tips for you to build a stronger and bigger chest.


1. Slow Eccentric

Do the negative phase of the movement more slowly. This will stimulate the muscle fibers to be more leveraged.


2. High Volume

Do multiple sets of high-volume training to boost the production of Human Growth Hormones (HGH).


3. Isolation

Don’t forget the isolation chest exercise after compound.


4. Variation

Do the different types of chest exercises, such as body weight, machine, and functional.


5. Full Range of Motion

Perform the exercise movements with maximum joint space with controlled tempo in each repetition.


One of the most important things when building your chest muscle is rest. Cell and tissue growth occurs while you are sleeping and resting. So, make sure your muscles get enough rest after the training to have great cell growth.
