chest tightening

Post by xBrawlerx »

I am just looking for a few good workouts for the chest, abs are in good shape from Muay Thai, and arms are well off. I just want to shape chest, I heard, dips, chest flys with both pulleys and barbells are good for ya. As well as push ups. Got any ohter suggestions?

upper chest (incline)
- barbell bench presses

- *dumbell bench flys*

middle chest
- barbell bench presses
- dumbell bench presses
- *dumbell bench flys*

lower chest (decline)
- barbell bench presses
- dumbell bench presses
- *dumbell bench flys*

thanks bro, instructor said I need to tighten chest because it is too big of a target for opponents. I will try these and let know progress. Thanks for the great advice.

if your chest is too big then you'll need to lose , wt or both..shaping it differently won't change it's size...try this though;

push ups with wide grip on bars or db's for as many as you can
without rest go to floor with same wide grip for as many as you can
without terst go to a bench about 30 - 40cms high and with wide grip do as many as you can again

repeat 2 - 3 more times

I usually do dips for triceps, don't know how well they work on the chest though.

leaning forward will hit the chest motre and having a straight body will hit the tri's more but not much difference really

Jawbreaker, or anyone:

bench can also drop down. What does that work out? So raising it at about a 35 degree angle hits the upper chest? goal is that "V" look.

Thanks

decline can emphasise lower / outer portion but they all depend on grip and body structure more so than angles i think...for v shape build up delts (side in particular), lats and outer thighs and trim down waist...chest focus not really required until later
