Chest Coach System

Question by Tyson: Is it ok to use machines instead of benches to workout chest muscles?
My main concern is muscle gain, when it’s my day to work chest I usually stick to incline, flat and decline bench, along with the cross pulley.

However, if I’m working out alone I can not use the bench, so I must use machines to work out my chest safely. Do machines not create as good of a workout? How can I maximize my chest workout with machines, considering my main goal is muscle gain?

I really don’t think that machines will ever give you as much muscle gain as the regular bench workout does. Maybe you could find someone to meet up with at the gym 2-4 times a week so that you have someone guaranteed to help you. You could always do dumbell bench…that’s a little safer, but you still might need spotting. Try asking a fitness trainer at your gym for advise.

Question by : What is a good workout routine for your chest?
I’m 16, and i’ve been doing weight training for about 2 months now.
I have been working on my arms mainly, but have found out that they now look too big in proportion to my upper body?
Can someone please recommend a chest workout, that mainly focuses on the pectoral major and minor.
With reps and sets please.
I’m trying to build muscle mass not endurance

push ups and bench press will defiantly get your pecs bigger. when it comes to reps and sets you just have to challenge your self, not everyone is going to be using the same weight, every ones different. i would do about 50 push ups every day for 3 or 4 days a week (which should be nothing you have good arms). then when it comes to bench press pick a weight you can only rep about 6- 8 times and do 4 sets of that.

-you’ll se results
-hope it helped

Question by : What should I be Feeling during a chest workout?
When ever I workout my chest, I feel strain in my biceps, and other muscles of the arm, but not my chest. I my form is good and I use a good amount of weight. I usually do a bunch of bench presses, then inclined bench presses, push ups, dumbbell fly’s, then dips. is there anything that I could be doing to better my workout? or should I just be more careful about my form and maybe add more weight.

Exercise. Lying on your back on the floor and lifting a can of corn in each hand while keeping your arms straight is a great way to build up the pecs. It’s also a good exercise for prevention of something called thoracic outlet syndrome.
As will all exercises regimes, see a Doctor before starting.

Question by Poooo D: How can I get a good chest workout at home?
I want to do a good chest workout at home. I usually use freeweights, but I dont have those at home. I have a benchpress, but I don’t like to use to much weight because I dont have a spotter. What should I do to substitute those freeweight excercises, and what can I do with a benchpress, with less weight that I usually would use to do a regular bench press.

Pushup Pyramids.

These are a favorite among myself and my fellow Soldiers. They hurt, trust me! I wasn’t a believer until I tried it.

Basically you do one push up, and then come to your knees and do one military press (raising your arms about your head as if to “raise the roof”)… continue to 2 push ups, 2 presses, and so on and so forth up to 10, and then back down. Sounds easy enough, but it will kick your butt! The key is to not rest… even if it means going to your knees and doing “female” pushups.

You can also make the addition of weights to the military press part for extra umph.

Question by All Day!: Wat is good workout to lose your man boobs?

Answer by SubJ
None in particular.

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.

Take light exercises and brisk walks for 30 min.regularly preferably twice a day.

U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.

This schedule will also be helpful in maintaining good healthy weight.
