How to get a Big Chest? Four Simple but powerful exercises to get a Big, Broad Chest right at the comfort of your home

Getting a big, broad chest is a desire for most men. A big broad chest gives you a hot masculine look, which others, especially women like a lot. While working out to get a bigger and broader chest, one should make sure that they are doing the right exercises without exerting too much pressure or following wrong practices, which could result in injuries. Many men prefer the Gym in order to get their big chest dream fulfilled, but in reality, one need not just lift heavy weights blindly to get a big chest. A proper and effective workout regimen including Weight training exercises as well as floor exercises is ideal for building a big, broad chest. In this hub, I have described 4 simple but very powerful exercises through which you can build a big chest, without even going to the Gym. Since these exercises are designed to be done by Dumbbells rather than the traditional Gymnasium Barbells, you can do these exercises right at the comfort of your own home. All you need is a pair of standard dumbbells, which suit your lifting capacity

The exercises are designed to work on all the areas on your chest, viz, upper chest, Lower chest and the Pecks. They will give you a toned, Firmer, Bigger and Broader chest. Do these exercises not more than 2 times a week, since your muscles need time to relax

Below are the 4 simple but powerful Exercises to get a Big, Broader chest:

1. Push-ups:

The push up is one of the first exercises ever done to build strength and muscle! Kneel down on the floor and place your on the floor in front of you at around shoulder width apart. Now take your knees off the floor and step back with your feet until your legs are outstretched and your toes are on the floor. Your body should be straight from head to toe. This is the starting position for the push up. Keeping your body straight, slowly lower your torso as low as possible without touching the floor. Pause, the raise back to the starting position

Workout Schedule: 3-4 sets of 15-20 repetitions each.


2. Incline Dumbbell Press

The incline dumbbell bench press is a great exercise for building mass on the upper chest. Setup for the exercise by setting an incline bench to an angle of about 30 degrees and placing the dumbbells at the low end. Grasp the dumbbells and sit down on the bench, place the ends of the dumbbells on your knees. Rock back onto the bench using your legs to help push the dumbbells up. You should be laying back on the bench with your arms fully outstretched holding the dumbbells (as shown in the video demonstration). This is the starting position. Keeping your body fixed, slowly lower the dumbbells down towards your upper chest until the handles are about level with your chest. Do not pause, then slowly raise the dumbbells back up without locking your elbows out at the top of the exercise.

Workout Schedule: 3-4 sets of 15-20 repetitions each

3. Incline Dumbbell Flys

Incline dumbbell flys hit the upper part of the pectoral muscles. Setup for incline dumbbell flys by setting an incline bench to an angle of around 30-45 degrees. Grasp a set of dumbbells and sit on the end of the incline bench with the dumbbells resting on your thighs. Lay back on the bench and extend your arms up, holding the dumbbells with a neutral grip (palms facing each other). The dumbbells should not be touching. Keep your feet planted on the floor for balance. Bend your arms slightly. This is the starting position for the exercise. Slowly lower the dumbbells out to your sides in a semi-circle. Rotate at the shoulders only, keep your arms slightly bent. Once the dumbbells get about level with your chest, squeeze the chest muscles and raise the dumbbells back up using the same path of motion (semi circle) as you did on the way down. Don't let the dumbbells touch, then slowly lower back again.

Workout Schedule: 3-4 sets of 15-20 repetitions each.

4. Decline Dumbbell Press

Set a decline bench to and angle of around 30 degrees. Grasp a pair of dumbbells and position yourself at the high end of the bench with your legs in the padding. Slowly lay back on the decline bench and push the dumbbells straight up above your lower chest. (alternatively you could have someone pass you the dumbbells) This is the starting position for the exercise. Slowly lower the dumbbells in a triangle shape until the handles are about level with your chest. Pause, then slowly raise the weight back up without locking your elbows out at the top.

Workout Schedule: 3-4 sets of 15-20 repetitions each.
