Let's face it, most bodybuilders want bigger pecs. They want bigger chest muscles, and they want them right now!

Just like any other bodybuilding technique, their is a right way to build chest muscles, and a wrong way. The sad thing is most bodybuilders incorporate the wrong way, and only receive a small portion of the muscle building benefit they really could have.

Strength training for the chest to build massive muscle is not that complicated. All that is needed is the proper stimulus coupled with enough muscle building rest, and recovery to grow. This is the main secret to building any body part. Progressive overload through exercise intensity with the precise amount of rest is the secret muscle building formula.

So what exactly is the easy way to building bigger pecs?

First off, you must understand intensity of exercise. Intensity is the degree of load, or resistance place upon a particular muscle. The more muscle fibers called upon to activate, the greater the intensity. In order to build chest muscles, intensity needs to be progressive in nature. An example would be trying to beat the number of reps with each subsequent chest training workout. A couple of other ways to increase the intensity is by increasing the weight, or decreasing the rest between sets.

As a bodybuilder it is your goal to constantly strive to continuously increase your intensity of training.

One of my favorite techniques for getting bigger pecs is the use of the pre-exhaustion principle. The objective of the pre-exhaustion chest building method is to first isolate, and train the target muscle to fatigue, and immediately perform the multi-jointed exercise immediately after. Thus, the targeted muscle is already pre-fatigued before we introduce the multi-jointed exercise. This prevents the secondary muscles from tiring out before the main target muscle is completely stimulated.

An example would be when weight training chest to do flyes to fatigue first followed by bench press, or dips. This technique will make sure your pecs are absolutely stimulated to the max before the secondary movers (shoulders, and triceps) fail.

The other side of the equation to getting bigger pecs the easy way is to get the precise amount of rest between workouts to facilitate chest muscle growth.

To do this make sure you track your weights, and reps for each workout. When your strength plateaus or decreases you need to take more days off between chest training workouts. If your strength continues to increase with each pec building workout, you have hit the sweat spot on rest between chest training sessions.

If you follow this simple equation I have presented above, then you will witness bigger pecs the easy way.
