Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1

    Warm Up

    Start with 5-10 minutes of light cardio and dynamic stretching. Perform 1-2 light sets of your first exercise to prepare your chest muscles.

  2. 2

    Primary Compound Movement

    Begin with bench press or incline bench press. Perform 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps with heavy weight to build strength and size.

  3. 3

    Secondary Compound Movement

    Follow with incline dumbbell press or dips. Perform 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps to target different angles of the chest.

  4. 4

    Isolation Exercises

    Add 2-3 isolation exercises like chest flyes, cable crossovers, or push-ups. Perform 3 sets of 10-15 reps for muscle definition.

    Finish with static stretching for the chest, shoulders, and triceps. Hold each stretch for 30-60 seconds.
