A well developed chest is high on the list for most men. Whether you want a bulky or more athletic appearance, it’s important to plan your workouts to avoid over-training. Below are two tips on how to build chest muscle.

Training Without Weights

Although weight lifting has gained tremendous popularity in recent years it’s still possible to build a well developed chest without weights. If you look at the physiques of athletes like gymnasts and sprinters you’ll often find well sculpted torsos without a lot of weight lifting.

The secret to developing a full chest without weights is variety and intensity. You can get a good workout by doing push-up variations as long as you strive to get better with each workout. If you’re stuck on thirty push-ups your body won’t grow until you can push past that plateau. When you feel your chest muscles fatigue you can gain additional strength by completing half and quarter repetitions.

Advantages of Free Weight Training

To build strength, Milo the legendary wrestler of ancient Greece prepared for the Olympiad by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until the cow was full grown.

Nearby, you can bet there was a woman hauling a 30-lb toddler on her hip who must have been watching and thinking … “muscle head.”

Each of us lifts heavy things as part of our daily lives, be it toddlers, equipment, groceries, or a number of things. Resistance training can make you stronger and these tasks will seem easier.

You don’t have to be an athlete to reap benefits from lifting weights. Anyone who is short of breathe when they walk up a flight of stairs or who just wants to feel and look better can achieve amazing results by adding free weight training to their weekly schedule.
