Complete SHOULDER & CHEST WORKOUT | 23 Effective Exercises
Video
Description
When most people start lifting weights and doing strength training exercises, they focus on legs, arms, and abs. However, there are lots of other areas that are important to work out to build overall strength and make sure your body is balanced. Here are some of the best exercises for your chest, shoulders, and upper back. These moves work for everyone from beginner exercisers to experienced lifters, and you can do them anywhere.
A strong chest and shoulders are important for overall fitness and muscle performance. Dozens of exercises for a chest and shoulder workout exist, but certain ones have been tested to outperform others, including the bench press and overhead press.
Chest muscle exercises typically target the pectoralis muscles, commonly called the « pecs. » In addition, your anterior deltoids and triceps will get a workout.
If strength is a priority, you need to be fresh to lift the heaviest possible loads, but you should try beginning your workout with a lighter exercise you can use just to get a pump. Swap the order of your dumbbell bench and bench press, so that by the time you get to the big barbell lift, you’ll already be sweating, somewhat pumped, and ready to load on the plates. If you use a conservative weight, you wont be too tired to bench heavy.
Gonna highlight the levels again for those who haven’t heard:⠀
– LEVEL 1: Beginners / Intermediate (0-3yr) – 45 minute workout max. If you only complete through Level 1, it is still a complete workout!
– LEVEL 2: Intermediate / Advanced (3-5yr) – 45-60 minute workout. If you only complete through Level 2, it is still a complete workout!
– LEVEL 3: SHREDDER! (5yr+) – 60-90 minute workout. If you complete through Level 3, you’re an ABSOLUTE LEGEND.
