Where do you work out?
There are many exercises you can do if you are looking to build your chest however, before you get started, there are a few things you will need to know.
- If you can’t complete the reps you set yourself, your weights are too heavy. You want to keep to sets of 3 of a particular workout and you want to keep each set to 12, 10, and 8 reps, no higher and no lower.
- Take a 30 – 60 second break between sets, do not over rest, and do not rush.
- If you go over 12 reps for your first set put on extra weight.
Working out at home is always great, because you can do it almost any time of the day. If you go to a gym you have to go before closing time or you will not be able to work out for the day. However, working out at a gym has its benefits, like the fact that you can find any piece of equipment you need, and you have the perfect atmosphere to motivate you.
Working out at home
There are not many home workouts you can do, however, if you have a set of dumbbells with enough disc plates and an exercise ball you have enough to do the incline dumbbell press, the one arm dumbbell flat press, and incline dumbbell flye, and let’s not forget the ever famous push-ups.
Working out at a gym
You have a greater selection of workouts if you decide to make use of a gym. The workouts you can perform at a gym are the seated chest press machine, the Smith-Machine flat bench press, the peck-deck flye, and the machine pullover among others.
Working out at home does not mean that you won’t get the same results as you would if you work out at a gym, but only If you follow a good routine, and a good eating plan.
To eat or not to eat
Cutting out one part of your diet and eating more of a specific food is not what you want to do. Many diets and eating plans tell you to eat less carbohydrates and more proteins, cut out calories and eat more fiber. This is not necessary, because you need carbohydrates to absorb the protein faster, and you do not need to cut anything out of your diet. As long as you eat everything in moderation, as long as you stay active and keep working out, and as long as you remember that you need at least half the amount of protein than you do carbs, you will have that built chest in no time.
