CHEST DAY WITH BRODY SHEMANSKY

MY TOP 5 TIPS FOR A BIGGER CHEST

1. Compound movement first – Do this to stimulate the highest number of muscle fibers as well as release the maximum amount of testosterone and growth hormone.

2. Work the chest at various angles – While areas of the chest can’t be isolated, they can be focused on. Be sure to work at various inclines ranging from decline to 45 degrees.

3. Focus on dumbbells rather than barbells – You’ll get a better range of motion and force the muscle to work harder using dumbbells as opposed to a barbell.

4. Use isolation movements at the end – once you’ve done your allotted presses for the day, finish up with isolation movements such as flies or cross overs. Work with lighter weights and higher reps for your isolation exercises.

5. Don’t forget your legs and back – I know this seems weird, but if you truly want chest gains don’t neglect training your legs and back. Heavy leg training promotes testosterone and growth hormone release, which will aid in building a bigger chest. Training the back will ensure that that your posture and posterior to anterior strength remain in balance.
