If you want to build a bigger chest in time for summer but are new to strength training and don’t know where to start, then this workout can help. Walking into a gym and being swamped by crazy-looking bits of equipment can be a little intimidating, so with this workout you’ll know exactly where to go and what to do. That being said, you could easily do this at home too with a pair of dumbbells and a weight bench.
Most of us want big chest muscles because they’re a symbol of strength and look good in a tee, and that’s ok. But did you know stronger pecs actually contribute to better posture? Northside Hospital says: “As one of the largest muscles in your upper body, the pecs play a major role in maintaining good posture.” This is because if our chest muscles are weak, or are too tight, it can cause our shoulders to hunch over. “In addition to improving your posture, strengthening and lengthening chest muscles helps to support deeper breathing. That’s because the pecs are attached to your ribs, which expand with every breath.”
