Different Chest Workouts

In this scenario, who doesn't want a fit and toned body. Today I am writing about some chest workouts. These workouts should be followed consistently for better results.
First I want to ask you all for warm up your body little bit to prevent any injury.
Now begin with Pushups. There are different variations of it such as

1. Traditional pushup                          

The basic starting point. It will also warm up your body.

2. Wide-grip pushup

It basically works more on shoulders.

3. Close-grip pushup

This exercise is also called diamond pushup. It engages the triceps more.

4. Clap pushup

It improves power and explosiveness in the body.

5. One-leg pushup

In this type of pushup hang one leg in the air and do it as a traditional pushup. It engages the core more.

6. Dead-stop pushup

It is done like traditional pushup with little variation with relaxing the grip from the floor which can ease tension on the joints. It's good for the beginners who have just started.

7. Eccentric pushup

This type of pushup is also done like traditional pushup with reaching of chest part slowly towards the ground. It emphasizes the muscle-lengthening phase of the pushup, enabling you to change the stimulus on your muscles.

8. Spider-Man pushup

This pushup is done by stretching one leg sideways alternatively with each pushup. It engages the core more and improves hip mobility.
Above all pushups are the variations of a traditional pushup or flat pushup.

10. Decline pushup

In this type, it requires some stationary surface to rest legs. It works more on the upper chest and shoulders.

11. Incline pushup

Likewise in the decline pushup, the hands are on the higher side. It works more on the lower chest and triceps.

Now for the guys who want to workout with equipment,

Let's start with the bench press:

FLAT BARBELL BENCH PRESS


As depicted in the above image, Grab the barbell with overhead grip and hold the barbell over your chest. Now lower the barbell gradually until it touches the chest bone and again raise the barbell.
Repeat it with the number of reps suitable in different sets.

It engages the primary muscles such as triceps brachii and pectoralis major with the anterior(front) deltoids, traps and back as secondary muscles.

INCLINE BENCH PRESS

Here the muscles involved are upper chest, deltoid ( shoulder) and triceps. 

DECLINED BENCH PRESS


Here the muscles engaged are the lower parts of the chest, the front part of the shoulder and the triceps.


You can also do the same exercises by replacing the barbell with dumbells. With dumbbells also it engages the same muscle of chest as with barbell.

Another alternative is

CABLE CROSSOVER FLYER


High Cable Crossover

 Engages anterior deltoid (shoulder), upper and lower pectoralis (chest)

Medium Cable Crossover




        












    Engages anterior deltoid, upper and lower pectoralis (Chest) and Biceps.



Low Cable Crossover

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Engages anterior deltoid, upper pectoralis (Chest) and Biceps.
