Do You Want a Herculean Chest?

By: Nathan Underhill

Besides your arms, the chest is one of the most noticeable muscles. When someone walks into the gym you notice right away if they have a huge Herculean chest that sticks out like mountains. And then you see all the other guys in the gym trying to flex their chest and wishing they looked like that guy.

The truth is, most guys would like to have that huge, bulging chest, but they're too busy training their arms all the time to focus on their chest. There are a couple things you need to remember when trying to build that monstrous chest that will make any woman jealous.


Five Tips For A Huge Chest!

  1. Always train your chest first when you get to the gym and with high intensity.
  2. Stick to the basic mass building exercises (bench press, incline, decline, dips, etc.)
  3. Train your chest from all angles. Include a variety of incline, decline, and flat presses for maximum muscle stimulation.
  4. Always stick with low reps for the best size gains. (6-10).If you can get to 10 then add 5 more lbs. And do between 8-12 sets total.
  5. Only train your chest once every 6-8 days.
