The Best Upper Body Workout …

The objective of removing the excess adipose tissue from the area of the chest is achieved when tackled from two distinct angles.  Specific chest resistance exercises like those mentioned below are always well complimented by some form of cardio exercise like climbing, running or swimming.

Exercising the muscles of the chest directly by doing pushups, bench presses etc does not burn much fat in the area.

The right balance of diet and cardio when combined, allows the body to burn fat from all over.

Hence having a body-builder’s muscular chest is best achieved when you put in the extra cardio workout.

Enough said about cardio.  Let me introduce you to a powerful chest exercise for shaping up that chest…

Muscle building Upper Body dips

Its common knowledge that the single most metabolically stimulating weight-training exercise is the squat.

Dips are for the chest, as squats are for the legs.

Since dips involve using your body weight, they are not as glamorous as the bench press and have unfortunately lost much popularity in the modern day. The truth remains however, that past bodybuilding giants such as Vince Gironda used dips to achieve huge and perfectly defined chests, many without ever going near the bench press. Vince’s preferences are not taken lightly, since he successfully trained a number of top bodybuilders, including Arnie, Larry Scott and Lou Ferrigno, and also celebrities such as Clint Eastwood, Clint Walker, Cher and Erik Estrada.

In fact, he replaced all of the bench presses in his gym with dipping stations.

Chest dips are a powerful exercise that quickly improves the overall strength of the entire upper torso.

Engaging more muscles simultaneously causes more anabolic hormones to be released, stimulating better growth of muscle than using equipment like the bench press or cable crossovers that would focus on the chest only.

Building a wide looking chest is easy as long as your exercise routine focuses on chest dipping which encompasses a downward motion in the arms which by extension works the outer portion of the largest muscle in the chest area that is affectionately called “the pecs”.

To really get a full chest workout the original chest dipping exercise just has to be adjusted with a small tilt forward while doing the exercise.

Conclusions and Tips for a Muscular Chest …

There is no better exercise for building the muscles of the male chest like chest dips.

Mastering the correct technique for this exercise will produce excellent results in building chest muscles.

I can tell you that you’ll get a really muscular chest by adding pushups along with bench presses to the chest dipping exercise.

If chest dips are done properly the whole chest is exercised but the stimulation has a bigger impact on the lower chest than on the upper chest.

In order to even things out so you can get bigger square stone-slab-like pecs, it helps to combine chest dips with decline pushups, where you have your feet elevated to target your upper chest.

Rest the muscles of the chest for a few days especially after a strenuous workout.

The chest muscles will continue to grow larger with repeated workouts and these routines should be done every other day at first and then with bigger time lapses between workouts as the muscles get larger and need a greater time for recovery.

Over time, in order to see further gains, it will be important for you to take longer rest-periods, going from every other day, to 3 days per week, to 2 days per week, and finally as an advanced bodybuilder (if that’s what your goal is), just once per week.
