Your chest muscles are also huge, so by working them out with some of the best chest exercises for men, you'll receive a tough workout. Many body builders only do bench pressing for strong pectoral muscles, but it's important to have a variety of exercises in your workout routines. 1-Seated Chest Press This works similarly to lying down bench presses, but you'll be seated with this machine.

4 Bicep Workouts For Bigger Arms

The truth is that: There aren’t a lot of great multi-joint movements, compound exercises, that target the biceps. Except chip-ups, of course . The start of your workout you would want to start with exercises that allows you to move maximum weight (activate both the short head and the long head): standing barbell curls, for example.
