Extreme Chest Workout

For bodybuilders, developing a large, well-sculpted chest is crucial for performance on the stage. When building your chest, you need to make sure you hit each specific muscle group in the chest, from multiple angles so that each area is trained maximally. Furthermore, you need to include at least one highly explosive lift and one stabilization lift. The highly explosive chest lift will maximize development of the larger type II muscle fibers of the chest. The stabilization chest exercise will ensure all possible fibers of the chest have been recruited. This ensures every area gets worked.

The Extreme Chest Routine

Breaking Down the Benefits of the Extreme Chest Workout

The extreme chest routine hits both the pec major and pec minor muscles of your chest. More importantly both the clavicular portion of your pecs and sternal portion of your pec major are addressed. Many routines fail to include a specific exercise that hits each of these parts. This particular workout does that for you. The extreme chest routine is also versatile in that you will not only gain mass but power and stabilization strength as well. Being more powerful in the chest and being able to stabilize heavier weights will allow you to progress future workouts to new heights and further increase chest development.

Extreme Chest Workout Exercise Specifics

The dumbbell bench press is used in place of a traditional barbell bench for two reasons. You have to dynamically stabilize the dumbbells with each arm which maximizes the amount of musculature used at the chest and it allows for a more natural movement at the shoulder joint reducing the risk of injury. The decline dumbbell bench takes this concept and applies it to your pec minor muscles. The incline flyes address sternal and clavicular pec muscle fibers while keeping even tension across the chest. This is one motion where cables are actually superior to dumbbells because of how gravity works in relation to your body position.

The chest pass should be done at maximal speed against a wall. Type II fibers respond best to heavy weight or extreme speeds. Since the weight will be lower, use a fast, forceful push. The stability ball pushup is really going to finish off your chest. Your bigger type II fibers are normally responsible for force production while your smaller type I fibers are responsible for stabilization; however, type I fiber training should not be neglected as these can get larger in size if trained appropriately. The stability ball pushup will accomplish this goal when performed at the end of this particular workout.
