Best exercise(s) to bulk up the chest?

[BigDaddyBuk]

So you need to elaborate or I misread.


Your routine that you explained:
Do whatever reps you can hit and then rest for 6 minutes.
Continue for an hour.

Am I right or wrong here.

yes, this is right. you say you dont need that much rest, i say different strokes for different folks. as you get stronger you can either add more reps or decrease the rest time, but like i said, i bust out 35 reps every 6 minutes for an hour, and my results have been great.

shit, i lost fat as well as gained muscle in my chest, shoulders and back.

I feel you.

I might look to try something that in future.
But I've gotten great results going at pace but with less time.

My theory is work those mofos when they are screaming.
You might not go into an hour work out because of it (and probably get less mass from it) but you will get mass and you definitely will get muscle and strength from a work out like that.

But like you said different strokes...

 

[DaddyDiesel]

i was gonna say pushups.

do ten sets in an hour with at least 10 reps per set. do a set every 6 minutes. in an hour you will have done 100 pushups.

as you get stronger add reps until you can do 30 reps every 6 minutes.

when you can do that with relative ease, then raise your feet up on a chair 12 to 17 inches.

makes sure you get adequate rest and eat enough for growth, and your chest will expand like the national debt under Bush 43.

Incline Bench, Dips and dumbbell flys

^^^^^These two...In buks you can probably increase the reps by a couple, but this is a good starting point and you will definitely see results...
Overhead rope pulls or laying on a bench with a dumbell 25lbs or up simulating the same motion...

Dips. If you want to man up add some weight. Not only will they build mass you will get stronger. Lean forward to blast that chest out.

Fuck the bench press, the destroyer of shoulders world wide. Most people just don't have the correct form and it is too easy to get sloppy.

Lock yourself to the dip station, work yourself up to a plate or two and you will thank me.

Good ish my brother

What do you do to develop the back? I don't have a Pull up/chin up bar, so i cant do that...

Deadlifts and more deadlifts. Sumo, stiff leg, etc. Deadlifts along with Squats are vital to any workout regimen. You cant have a strong bench without a strong back to support the weight.

I would beat the living daylights out that pussy.

 

[code_pirahna]

dumbell incline presses....

 

[JD Walker]

dude......you just don't know what you're talking about. i gained more mass on my chest doing push ups than i ever did doing benches.

the push ups helped me to develop stabilizer muscles as well, so i was able to bench heavier and with more control AFTER i did the push ups.

your problem is that you think nothing exists outside of your knowledge.

you don't know everything.

Hey BigFaggotFuck, I know I bench 385lbs, and I know that I didn't get there by doing a bunch of push ups.

C/S ^ This.

My chest building routine :: M, W, F - off Saturday & Sunday

Warm-up - 20 push-ups.
Rest 1 minute

Bench Press:
6 reps x 5 sets.
Set (1-2) 80% of max
Rest 1 minute
Set (3) 90 % of max
Rest 1 minute:
Set (4) Max Weight Workout Weight (Note: This is not a max out)
Ok if I don't get to 6, but must do at least 3. Rest 2 minutes - while stretching to flush lactic acid out
Set (5) 60% of max

Inclines:
5 reps x 5 sets
This is mostly a shaping and defining exercise so I only work at 80% max. 30 seconds of rest between the first 2 sets. 1 minute Sets 3-5.

Butterfly:
10 reps x 5 sets
Easy to cheat on these if you're using a machine and a machine makes it a bit easier, so I increase the rep count to 10.

I basically do the same weight increase and weight pattern as the regular benchpress.


Do this 3 times a week and you'll see definite results within a month depending on your eating habits, how much fat is on your body, and your rest recovery procedure.
When you get to where you want to be, this routine 2x per week along with 40 pushups on the off days will maintain it. If you see losses, just throw another routine into the weekly plan.

Remember, nothing helps muscles grow more than SLEEP and balanced protein.

i'm not a professional bodybuilder or trainer and i know people have different ways of working out depending on their body threshold. but your workout routine = overtraining. what about your back, biceps, and legs?

ninjas be working out their entire upperbody without touching their legs to the point where they look swollen and puffy and like a cartoon character from popeyes or something. *no homo* like that ninja nat turner. One of my homegirls from way back said this about her man at the time that he had chicken legs but a brolic upperbody when we were at dorneypark (waterpark). I looked and I was like WTF???

for the OP pushups, muscle confusion, good sleep and protein. pushups and dips is the most underrated chest workouts.

Hey you're right, I know I bench 385lbs, and I know that I didn't get there by doing a bunch of push ups.

but this doesn't mean what you advised was incorrect, since i don't have any way of knowing one way or the other.

fixed, and thanks!

 

[JD Walker]

Push ups will develop the pecs (no homo)

Why do you say No Homo?

 

[BigDaddyBuk]

i don't know why i'm such a faggot and always talking about shit i don't know about! sorry man! i'm ashamed of myself...my christian mother tried to drown the devil out of me when i was a kid and i aint been right since!

fixed and thanks again!

 

[Osca Lee]

To break it down further...

Unless you destroy the muscle fibers and properly feed them so they can rebuild and produce more fibers then there isn't any other way to build muscle.

Strength is the result of your nervous system allowing you to contract many muscle fibers at one time..regardless of size

One lift may work for some and may have 0 impact for others.

I will have to agree with JD....bench press is king for mass building

 

[gamersfuel]

that guy who had the M W F routine has the right idea. But i wouldnt do the same thing all 3 days. Choose different exercises and rep ranges those other 2 days and use that 3rd day as more of an isolation day. i wouldnt do it any; more than 1 month on then 1 month off and take in a whole lot of protein and calories. if you do that he's right.. your chest will be bigger and you will be stronger in just the 1st month of starting.

Here you go. This is a very good program to follow.

 

[34real]

Im no expert but what most of these cats are suggesting is something that will get you into the game,built up stamia,and give you results but your going to have to add other things,other than just pushups,dips and the likes.

hit the weights hard.

[trick20]

my old routine was simple and it showed result.....i used to knock out 100 pushups in 10 mins no sets just made sure i got my 100 within the time limit

doing that a dips worked for me....thats just if you trying to tighten up the chest area but for bulk just hit the bench press

Is dis a fact bgol??? let me know i thought it was only for triceps

 

[Cle Da YoungKingPin]

bump....any ans??

 

[gene cisco]

Lean forward to blast the chest more. Holding yourself upright will work the triceps more. To add mass keep adding weight and changing rest periods.

Sometimes you will find dip bars that flare out like a V. You can use the narrower part to kill the triceps and use the wider part while leaning forward to blast the chest. Don't go down too low as it can put unneeded stress on your shoulders and since you want to blast the chest without getting the shoulder problems most get from the bench this would be defeating the purpose.

Good luck.
