Best chest work,Bench Press,Inclined Dumbbell,Bench Dumbbell Pullover
Best chest Workout :
You
can generate the most power with barbell lifts, so the standard barbell bench
allows you to move the most weight. It's also an easier lift to control than
pressing with heavy dumbbells. The exercise is easy to spot and relatively easy
to learn (if not master), There are plenty of bench-press programs you can
follow to increase your strength.
In
your workout: Do it toward the start
of your chest workout for heavy sets in lower rep ranges. Consider varying your
grip width for more complete chest development.
Flat Bench Dumbbell Press:
With dumbbells, each side of your body must work independently,
which recruits more stabilizer muscles; dumbbells are harder to control than a
barbell. Dumbbells also allow for a longer range of motion than the barbell
bench press, both at the bottom and top of the movement. Flat dumbbell presses
allow you to hoist a fairly heavy weight, and they make for a good alternative
if you've been stuck on the barbell bench for ages.
In
your workout: Do flat dumbbell
presses toward the start of your chest workout for heavy sets in lower rep
ranges. We don't typically recommend doing dumbbell presses in addition to the
barbell bench press, because both moves are so similar.
In fact, the similar
nature of these movements was confirmed via electromyography (EMG) analysis,
which demonstrated no significant differences between flat-bench dumbbell and
barbell in regard to muscle activation.
Low-Incline Barbell Bench Press :
Many
benches are fixed at a very steep angle, which requires a larger contribution
from the front delts than the chest to move the weight.[2] If possible, go for
a less-steep incline to hit the upper pecs without as much stress on the delts.
You can also easily do low-incline benches with an adjustable bench on the Smith
machine.
In
your workout: Many chest workouts
start with flat-bench movements first, then progress to inclines, but it's time
to get out of that bad habit. Every so often, start with inclines. The benefit
is that you'll be fresher and can lift more weight, which puts a greater amount
of stress on the upper pec fibers and could lead to more growth.
Machine Decline Press :
Some
machines, like Hammer Strength, allow you to move each arm independently, which
is a great feature on chest day. Besides doing a machine decline press straight
on, you can sit sideways on the apparatus and press across your body one arm at
a time, which delivers a completely different feel than when you sit
straight-on.
One of the primary
muscle actions of the pec major is transverse adduction—think cable flyes or
pec-deck flyes to understand this action. By sitting in a sideways position,
you can maximize your press with a pec-dominant horizontal adduction, effectively getting
more from the movement.
In
your workout: Do free-weight exercises
first in your chest workout because they require more effort and stabilizer
muscles than machines. With that in mind, this could be the last multijoint
exercise in your routine.
Seated Machine Chest Press :
Free-weight
pressing moves on a flat bench are great, but the machine press has some unique
benefits. For one, it's easier to slow down the repetition, both in the
concentric and eccentric phases. Stack-loaded machines are also great for
quickly doing drop sets.
EMG research demonstrates
that the machine bench press recruits much less of the three heads of the
deltoid (anterior, middle, and posterior) than free-weight variations because
of a decreased need for humeral stabilization.[3] This allows you to really
target your pecs.
In your
workout: Again, do machine exercises at the end of your workout. For
anyone looking to build mass, machines give you a greater chance to pump your
pecs with minimal shoulder assistance.
Incline Dumbbell Press :
Dumbbell
presses make everybody's top 10 list, but with an adjustable bench you can do a
number of things you can't with a fixed bench. Our favorite: changing the angle
of the incline from one set to the next, or from one workout to the next.
Hitting a muscle from varying degrees of incline angles builds it more
thoroughly.
In
your workout: This is an occasional
first movement, but it can easily go anywhere from first to third in your
routine. Keep in mind, though, that the later you do this movement, the less
weight you'll likely be able to push.
For even crazier pumps
with this exercise, try to slowly rotate the dumbbells from palms-forward to a
palms-inward position during the concentric portion of the lift, really
squeezing at the top. This slight change will cause you to medially rotate the
upper arm, really recruiting your pec major.
Dips For Chest:
Dips For Chest:
First
off, make sure you're doing dips that emphasize the pecs: Put your feet up
behind you, lean forward as far as possible, and allow your elbows to flare out
as you dip. Chest dips are a great spotter-free alternative to the decline
press.
If you're strong, this
lower-chest move makes a great finisher; if you're not, you can do it earlier
in your session. It makes a great superset pairing with push-ups for a big pump
at the end of your workout.
10. Pec-Deck Machine
Chest flyes are hard for many trainees to learn with dumbbells or cables because the arms need to be locked in a slightly bent position for the duration of the exercise. Luckily, the pec deck simplifies things because it allows you to work in only one pathway. So, this exercise is a great movement teacher, and you can go for a great pump without having to balance any weights.EMG data shows that activation of the pectorals major and anterior delt are statistically similar between the pec deck and bench press, which means that even though you'll probably be working in different rep ranges for each exercise, you'll get great chest activation from this machine.

In-lined Dumbbells flys :
Incline dumbbell flys are the most common variation in this category, and although they are still effective in their own right, the
downside is the loss of tension on the pecs that occurs toward the top half of the range of motion.

Since the dumbbells rely only on the straight-line force of gravity, the resistance ends up pulling straight down rather than out to the sides, resulting in minimal pec activation in the fully contracted position.

Decline Dumbbells press :
Sit down on decline bench with feet under leg brace and dumbbells resting on thigh. Lie back with dumbbells. Position dumbbells to sides of chest with bent arm under each dumbbell.Press dumbbells up with elbows to sides until arms are extended. Lower weight to sides chest until slight stretch is felt in chest or shoulder. Repeat.
Incline Bench Cable Fly:
Incline Bench Cable Fly:
Cables offer a direct line of pull against resistance, and that resistance remains constant throughout the entire range of motion of the flye.
Not many single-joint exercises made the list, but this is one of our favorites. It's an effective move to isolate the pecs after completing your multi joint exercises. Cables allow for continuous tension throughout the exercise's full range of motion. If you've got a good chest pump going, nothing beats looking back at yourself in the mirror as you squeeze out a few more reps.
In your workout: Do incline cable flyes at the end of your workout for slightly higher reps (sets of 10-12). If you're training with a partner, do a few drop sets for some real masochistic, muscle-building fun.
Stand in the direct center of a cable-cross station with your feet staggered, knees slightly bent and your focus forward, and grasp D-handles attached to the upper pulleys. Starting with your palms facing downward and elbows bent slightly, flex your pecs to draw the handles down and together, meeting below your waist. Try to keep your elbows up throughout the movement. Pause a moment for a peak contraction, then slowly allow the handles to return to the start position. Don’t let the weight stacks touch down between reps.
Dumbbell Pullover:
it doubles as a fine back exercise. But for those who claim shoulder-impingement concerns, well, we’d instead argue that the problem isn’t the pullover;
Forget flat-bench pull-overs; the incline version puts your chest fibers under tension for a longer range of motion! Just sit back against a bench inclined to about 45 degrees and make sure the dumbbell clears the top. Make sure you keep this a single-joint movement; don't bend or extend at the elbows.
Remember, you should have a specific reason for each movement you complete. Pull-over exercises work the shoulder-extension movement pattern (moving the upper arm rearward), which can really torch the pecs since they're one of the primary muscle groups involved in this action!
Do pull-overs at the very end of your workout for sets of 12. On every set, hold the peak contraction of the last rep for a full five seconds.
it’s the lack of flexibility prevalent in today’s gyms. If you don’t have full mobility in your upper back and delts, the pullover simply won’t feel comfortable.further conclusion click here
