How to Build a Great Chest
The Bench Press is Overrated
The first exercise most men think of for the chest is the bench press. Why does that not surprise me!! When someone asks me how I got my chest so well developed and big, they are surprised of the answer.
How I started building a great (CHEST)
While benching 275 pounds for 25 reps, I almost tore my left pectoral CHEST muscle. The next day my chest was so sore I could not extend my arm forward. Little did I know my chest workouts and development was about to change for the rest of my life.
I worked out around the injury and started getting results at a rapid pace
How did I do it? I started performing barbell incline presses, incline dumbbell presses and fly’s. Yes, men that’s right the bench press is a pretty good exercise but inclines RULE period. Many bodybuilders do the ego lift the BENCH PRESS that is.
But people are surprised that most bodybuilders build great chests from incline barbell presses, incline dumbbell presses and fly’s. At the peak of my bodybuilding career I did not bench press for over two years. So let me give you some tips on how to build a great chest without the BENCH PRESS and show you one of the most effective exercises for the chest.
Incline Dumbell Press
Exercise Description
Improtant note: Adjust the bench to about a 35-45 degree angle to target the upper chest
- Lie on an incline bench with dumbells in hands and extend to arms length, palms facing out toward feet.
- Slowly lower DB’s downward with inner dumbells about 2-4 inches from each side of your deltoids.
- Slowly press back to start position in the same range of motion
- Inhale coming down, exhale going up.
- Repeat for recommended reps.

- A heavy focus should be aligning your elbows with your shoulders coming downward.
