The Best Chest

January 6, 2010 by Joe Gigantino  

dumb bell-weightsToday’s workout routine is simple and focuses on the chest. The best way to do this upper body workout is with a partner taking turns. I have found that working with a partner challenges you and intensifies the workout, making this one of the best chest workouts!

Warm up: 10 minutes on elliptical  machine, then 5 minutes indoor row

Chest Workout Routine:

- Dumb bell Incline Bench Press

- Push ups (double the reps)

- 15-12-10-8-15 reps

- This chest exercise is simple, all you need are dumbells. In the 1st round do 15 reps on the incline bench, once finished get on the ground and double the reps on push ups. Once done take a break and let your partner go. Each round try to go heavier on the weight and remember to double the reps on push ups. 5 total rounds. Post weight for each round.incline_dumbell_press

Good weight (2 dumbells total weight) for advanced:
1 = 60 lbs
2 = 70 lbs
3 = 80 lbs
4 = 80 lbs
5 = 70 lbs

Good weight (2 dumbells total weight) for beginners:
1 = 16 lbs
2 = 20 lbs
