Nothing enhances a man's torso better than well defined chest muscles. In women, strong pecs can give breasts a firm, toned appearance.

​

With any chest routine, it's important to use a variety of exercises and training techniques that target different parts of the chest, as this creates a symmetrical shape.

​

Some routines use drop sets, where you do one set of reps, then change down and do the same number of reps with 75% of the initial weight.

​

This overloads the muscle and is one of the most effective techniques for gaining muscle & strength.

​

Some of the exercises isolate the pectorals, while others work the pectorals assisted by other muscle groups. This enables greater overload of the pectorals as you can work them for longer and so achieve better results. 

​

These routines are suitable for those with intermediate to advanced fitness levels who have been following a general gym programme for at least 6-8 weeks.
