The 6 move workout that'll add inches to your pecs
For the perfect balance of size, strength and definition in your chest, you need to do more than just bench press. Sorry.
This workout from Personal Trainer, Peter Mac, which involves presses, flys, pullovers and dips will shock your chest into growing.
Using such a variety of movements will help target all areas of your chest and maximise your muscle building potential. The incline press will help build the upper portion of your chest, the flat bench works your middle and the decline press and flys will help develop the lower portion.
Mac has incorporated unilateral single-arm presses, which will stop your stronger side from doing the majority of the lifting – a lot of people have a more dominant side – helping prevent any imbalances from creeping in.
"I like to finish with dips until failure because then you know you've fully exhausted your chest and this is where the magic of muscle breakdown occurs," says Mac. "You'll grow stronger with every session and when you try the workout again you can try to beat your previous amount of reps."
Be prepared to see your bench press plates and chest growth shoot up after this workout.
