The Best Chest Exercises For Men

Your pectoral muscles are the 2nd best muscles to show off, next to the biceps. Therefore, it's essential that you have a large strong chest. 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. You'll have movements that are similar to bench pressing, but due to the fact that this is a machine, your movements will be controlled. This will result in a focus on your pectoral muscles. It's a pretty easy exercise; just grab the handles and push it in a controlled manner. At the end of your extension, avoid locking your elbows. Performing 3 sets with about 10 reps is optimal.

2-Cable Crossovers (Low or High Cables)

When you're standing, have one foot forward to balance yourself. Then grip the cable's handles and push your hands to bring you hands closer to each other. Then slowly bring your arms and hands to their starting position. This exercise puts a lot of stress on your chest muscles, and therefore is one of the more effective exercises for your pectorals. Using high cables is more effective for your lower chest, whereas low cables are more effective for your inner chest. Doing 3 sets of 10-12

3-Declined and Inclined Flyes

This is a great exercise for your upper pectorals. Shift your bench to approximately a 45 degree angle. Lie down on the bench with 2 dumbbells to your side, while having your elbows bent at approximately 90 degrees. 3 sets of 10 reps are recommended.

4-Bench Press (Wide and Close Grip)

This is one of the most popular chest exercises for men. For the wide grip, have your hands far apart from each other when you grab the barbell. This is good for your lower chest. On the other hand, if you're doing a close grip exercise, just have your hands close together to put more emphasis on your triceps and inner pectorals.

5-Dips

When you're performing dips with your elbows, it focuses more on your lower chest. When you perform it with your elbows tucked in, it emphasizes your inner pectorals.
Remember that there are many other exercises, but these are just some of the best chest exercises for men. You should attempt to do 3-4 different exercises each day you decide to work on your pectorals. Your resting period in between each set should be a minimum of 30 seconds and a maximum of 2 minutes. Remember that after your entire workout session, you should let your pectoral muscles rest for at least 2 days.

45 MINUTES​ FULL BODY WORKOUT

This is a balanced, 3-day a week full body workout routine.  Each session is about 45 minutes.  It's a beginner to intermediate level workout that assumes you know the basics of dumbbell and barbell strength training. ​The table below shows the breakdown of the workout between the days.  It gives the exercises, the sets and reps.  Push and pull are indicated, as well as upper or lower, to show how the routine is fairly well balanced.   On the far right is shown which areas of the body are worked, with totals for the week at the bottom.  While the totals for shoulders, biceps and triceps seem much larger, they are being worked as secondary muscle groups in most cases.  At some point I'd like to figure out a more "weighted" way to represent how the muscles are worked to give a more true coverage picture.  But suffice it to say that the overall 3 day workout is well balanced between push, pull, upper and lower, with every major muscle group getti...
