Hi team! Spring is here, summer is coming and many want to get those arms and chest in shape. I decided to blog about a great workout for both your chest, and arms that can be done in the comfort of your home. As we know working the chest is great for men, but it's also good for women too, by helping lift the breasts.
Bigger pecs & lift the breasts:
The chest is made of the upper and lower chest muscles. These muscles are underneath the fatty tissue of the breasts. By gaining muscle in this area it will give the breasts a natural lift! On the other hand, this routine will add to the thickness of a mans chest area with the added lean mass. This routine will also help shape and firm your shoulders and triceps which is great for both genders.
This is a circuit training (push-up) workout. Circuit training is a workout technique involving a series of exercises performed in rotation with minimal rest between each exercise, often using different pieces of equipment. In this case we need minimal equipment!
1-2-3 Circuit:
This combination workout consists of 3 types of push-ups that are done in a circuit (one set). First, using a standard flat bench (or chair if at home), perform decline (feet elevated on bench or chair) push-ups until failure (until you can't do anymore).
Second, immediately drop your feet to the floor and do standard push ups until failure.
Third, put your hands on the bench (or chair), feet on the floor, and do incline push-ups until failure as well.
All three steps are performed without resting in-between, this adds a great high intensity cardio component to this workout which will assist you in building a leaner physique as well as burn more calories! Allow your fitness level to determine how many times you perform the circuit. Remember if your just starting out to gradually build up over time., some one circuit is fine., and over time your number of circuits will increase with strength and endurance. Your should get a great pump, and burn in your chest and arms Now let's get it!!
Question: How many push-ups can you do until failure?
Question: Have you ever done incline & decline push-ups? If so what were your results?
Question: Have you performed any type of circuit training before? If so what are your thoughts?
