The best exercises that will make your pectoral muscles powerful. Trainer Recommends.

Pectoral muscles are an important part of a man’s torso. To get them powerful and sculpted, you need to work them in the gym. We asked Alexey Zakharov, a trainer at the premium World Class Red Side club, to tell us how to work the chest muscles correctly and effectively.

Exercises for chest muscles

Sit-up bench press

The most basic exercise for the chest is the bench press. Variations are possible here, but beginners are better off doing it in a trainer. The exercise loads the large pectoral muscle, as well as the triceps and the front deltoid muscle.

On any bench press exercise, the shoulder blades should be constantly aligned at any point in the movement. It is important to control the load on the pectoral muscle, not to squeeze the shoulders or triceps. Make sure the angle between the shoulder and the body is 80 degrees, which is slightly less than a right angle. Perform 10-12 repetitions.

Shoulder Drive

The exercise is usually performed in a block, on a gif demonstrated in a new exercise machine. In this exercise, it is important to monitor the amplitude of the movement, do not throw your arms when pulling back. Perform 12-15 repetitions.

Incline press with dumbbells

The incline press is needed to work the upper chest. The dumbbell press differs significantly from the barbell in that you need to control each arm. This additionally trains coordination and stabilizer muscles. When performing it, you need to make sure that the hands move smoothly and synchronously, perform the movement at full amplitude and lead them along the same line. Perform 10-12 repetitions.
