Home Chest Workout: Pump up Your Pecs with Our Eight-week Training Plan

-
If you think that weights are the only way to develop a strong, muscular chest? Think again. You can build your chest – and your arms at the same time – without lifting a single barbell or dumbbell. You don't need the gym for an effective chest workout, which is welcome news with the corona virus pandemic ongoing.
Grind through these three simple phases of chest workouts to add layers of new upper-body muscle in just eight weeks. The first phase builds endurance, the second boosts strength and the final phase adds explosiveness and speed so you can pack on more size. The entire programme is based on variations of the standard press-up. It's that simple.This content is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page to help users provide their email addresses.

Wide Press-up
Perform the first three chest exercises 2 or 3 days a week in the order shown, with at least 1 day's rest between workouts. Complete three sets of each, resting for 1 to 2 minutes between sets.
Aim for sets of 10 to 15 reps. If that's beyond your chest efforts, just do the best you can.
A. Wide press-up
Perform a standard press-up, but with your hands placed wider than shoulder-width apart.
2Alternating Shuffle Press-up

Weeks 1 & 2
B. Alternating shuffle press-up
Start in the classic press-up position. Move your right hand to the left until your two hands are next to each other. Slide your left hand further left until your hands are shoulder-width apart again. Perform a press-up and repeat, moving to the right. That's two press-ups, but only one rep.

3Diamond Press-up
Diamond press-ups
Perform a press-up with your hands close enough for the tips of your thumbs and index fingers to touch. That's the diamond shape.
4One-arm Press-up

Weeks 3, 4, 5 and 6
Perform these variations 2 days a week. Complete 4 sets of each variation, and rest for 1 to 2 minutes between sets. Again, aim for 10 to 15 reps per set, or as many as you can. You'll need a 10 to 20cm high box, or failing that use the stairs.
A. One-arm press-up
Perform a press-up with your right hand on the floor and your left hand on the box. Switch arms and repeat. That's one rep.
6Cross-over Box Press-up

Weeks 3, 4, 5 and 6
B. Cross-over box press-up
Do a one-arm press-up with your left hand on the box. From the starting position, lift your right hand to beside your left. Move your left hand down to the floor, with hands shoulder-width apart. Do a press-up. That's one rep!
7Hands-on-box Diamond Press-up

 Hands-on-box diamond press-up
There's a clue in the title: perform a diamond press-up, but with both hands on the box. Job done!
8Dynamic Box Press-up

Weeks Dynamic box press-up
Place your hands on a box in the diamond press-up position. Lower your body and press explosively off the box, so your hands land on the floor with the box between them. Watch that chin. Immediately lower your body and press explosively up so your hands land back on the box in the starting position. That's one rep. You've earned the right to a Balboa-esque grunt on this one. Bring it on, champ.

 For A Complete Shoulder Workout : for-a-complete-shoulder-workout/ One of the most visually appealing muscle groups is the deltoids or shoulder. When fully developed the shoulders add width to your upper body and create the v-taper of the body down to your waistline. The shoulder is split into three parts: the front, side and rear deltoids. Training the shoulders is different to other parts of the body in some respect as there is more to it than just creating huge cannonball delts, there is also some priority to create proportion and symmetry in the shoulder muscles. Personally the effect on training shoulders is a different feeling to other parts of the body. I can hardly ever achieve a pump or DOMS. For me the shoulders have always just felt sore and because of this it is a difficult muscle to learn about training from experience. To make sure you have all bases covered when you are working out your shoulders make sure to include these exercise...

Cardio : Indoor Cardio Kit at The Gym : How much cardio do you actually need to do to meet your goals? If you’re training for a race, you’ll have every session planned out already and will be very clear about weekly mileage, pace and distance. If you are on a weight loss journey, you’ll know how much cardio work you need in order to create a calorie deficit. If outdoor cardio isn’t crucial to your fitness or weight goals, think about why you love it so much. Once you know why you do outdoor cardio, you can find a way to replace it during bad weather. If you have gym access, replacing outdoor cardio is pretty easy. Running gets done on a  treadmill , biking gets done on stationary or spinning bikes, uphill walks and hiking can be replaced by fast walking on an incline treadmill. If you use cardio for calorie burn, rather than sport-specific training, consider using conditioning workout classes which use intervals, circuits or HIIT training. They’ll take your cal...

 Best Muscle-Building Shoulder Exercises: Which are the best exercises for overall shoulder development.We let science decide. 141 https://keranfitness.blogspot.com 17 325 The list you're about to read is based on two factors: EMG tests, which measure electrical activity in the deltoids; and an exercise's ability to accommodate load. For example, you may be able to do an overhead barbell press with 185 pounds, but use only 35-pound dumbbells on lateral raises. More often than not, then, the press is the better choice, even if the lateral raise totally lights up the EMG. We cite research, when available, but we'll admit up front that this list reflects yet another factor: our best judgment, based on many years of lifting. For each exercise, we'll tell you why it made the list and how to use it in the context of your workouts. If you disagree with our selections, or think we missed the boat by overlooking your favor...
