My chest workout routine





The Chest workout routine is definitely one of my favorite workouts. It would also partially workout my shoulders and triceps as well. This workout would provide substantial results if you follow then appropriately. Always remember to use weights that you are comfortable with. Proper form should be practiced instead of using heavier weight. Here is my workout that can be applied at home or at the gym.


Equipment needed for home gym:
* Pair of Dumbbells
* Incline Chair
* Couple of sturdy chairs
* Three piled pillows or a sturdy table
* Resistance or elastic bands
Exercise number 1: Incline barbell bench press
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 15, 12, 10

* Home option: decline push ups with resistance bands, here is an example of decline push ups without the bands
Sets: 3
Repetitions: 20, 15, 12


Exercise number 2: Incline Dumbbell bench press
