How to Work Your Pecs

When it comes to attaining the perfect body, most males tend to focus more on the chest. Everyone wants the perfect shaped and sized pec muscles, right? In fact, a perfect chest shows the hard work you have done because bringing up chest takes time and effort.

Building a rock solid chest isn’t an easy task but it’s not a mammoth task, either. Here we pin down some of the most famous and commonly used exercises that should start adding chest definition in just 6-8 weeks.

Anatomy of the Chest Muscles

The chest region is divided into three different areas. The muscles of chest are called pectoral muscles (major and minor) and I would use pecs for defining those muscles in this article.

1. Upper pecs: The top most area of the chest. Gives a bulgy appearance when pumped, the muscles around the collar bone to be precise
2. Middle pecs: The area around the nipples and the sides of the arm armpit.
3. Lower pecs: The area below the nipples.

Exercise Methodology

It's time to ditch the old school methods of training. By old school, I mean doing individual muscle exercises, taking a long break between sets and then moving onto the next set.

This exercise methodology is a bit different and I would not advise it for beginners. The exercises and techniques written below need experience and definitely a spotter’s assistance. I am talking about going heavy and hard with the volume on the pecs. The recovery might be delayed once you perform the exercises mentioned below but it would be worth the pain.
