Lower chest exercise
For full upper body development, consider adding lower chest exercises to your routine.
While most people concentrate on good old flat bench press to develop their pectorals, the smart trainer knows that putting some variety into your workouts is the quickest route to effective training.
Lower chest exercises are a case in point. While they are not terribly popular - they don't look as macho as pushing the big weights on a flat bench - they will ultimately lead to a more fully defined muscle.
The best lower chest exercises are performed on a decline bench. If this is new to you, it can sometimes take a while to get used to exercising with your head lower than your body, so start of with an easy weight, giving your body time to adjust to a new way of moving.
The best options are as follows:
- Decline Bench Press
- Decline Dumbbell Press
- Decline Dumbbell Flyes
When performing these movements, focus on good technique. This means lowering the weight slowly, pausing just before the bar touches you, then powering it back up.
Adding these movements to your programme on a regular basis will soon have you developing your muscles like never before.
