Best way to build a bulkier chest?

Question

How would you work out using dumbbells or just without weights?

Answer 1

Biggie 1:  Weight Training



Weight training for muscle has a specific purpose and that is to stimulate muscle growth. Muscle fibers do not grow in numbers, they grow in size.

Effective exercises for building chest muscles:

1. Flat and Incline Bench Press

2. Dumbbell Flys, Pec-Decs, or Pullovers

* For overall chest development you need to do two kinds of movements - Presses and Flys.



These 2 movements are crucial for overall chest development, however, they have to be performed at various angles because chest is a big muscle with many insertion points.



** Calisthenics, machines, and free weights should be done interchangeably.  It's good to mix it up.  Variety is the spice of life!

*** Perform at least 4-6 sets per exercise for 4-8 reps, resting no more than 90-120 seconds.

**** Go as heavy as possible without compromising form.

Biggie 2:  Muscle building diet



To build muscle, you have to eat like a bodybuilder.

Your efforts in the gym will only be compensated if you eat the right quantities of foods in the right proportions and at the right times.

You have 3 components for a muscle building diet...carbohydrates, proteins and essential fats.

Biggie 3:  Rest

This is where you actually grow. This is where muscle is built. A sound sleep every night for 7-8 hours is a must.

Answer 2

  

     I think the best way is to use dumbbells. One can also do push ups. When you do push ups put your feet up on a low stool this will give you a better work out.
