Best Chest Workout Weight Training Exercises

www.LeeHayward.com It’s Lee Hayward here with a complete chest and shoulder weight training workout routine. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t get at least one e-mail from someone asking how they can build a big muscular chest. Well in this video clip I’m going to share one of my all time favourite chest workouts for fast muscle gains. I like to start my chest workouts with a big basic compound power exercise. Usually some form of the bench press. In this video I’m doing the barbell bench press but I’ll sometimes use dumbbells or incline bench presses instead. When doing bench presses make sure to set up properly by expanding your chest, arching your upper back, and pulling your shoulder blades back. This will help to fully activate the chest muscles and place less strain on the shoulder joints. It’s also a good idea to have a spotter with you at all times just in case you need help lifting the barbell off your chest. The next exercise that I like to do is the dumbbell flye. This exercise works the chest in the fully stretched position. I don’t use heavy weights here, but rather I emphasize getting a full stretch in the pecs. I even hold the weights for a second at the bottom position to get a better stretch. You’ll also notice that I only lift the dumbbells about ¾ of the way up. Going all the way up just takes the stress off the chest muscles. In the video I’m doing incline bench flyes. But sometimes I’ll do flat bench flyes, or decline bench flyes to work the chest …
that girl is one ugly fuck
@exitwound Not true. Arching your back will not cause a herniated disk unless you already have underlying back problems. Rounding of the back is very dangerous especially when lifting from the floor and can cause a herniated disk or is more likely to. Always keep the back arched when lifting, it’s the safest position for your lower back.
@sonne5 you probably dont know how to squeeze your chest after each rep
@leemhayward
how many push ups do u recommend a day? i do 50 but i think i can use more, besides that im only training at home so i use weights and i do push ups, thats all
Happy with the video, i also tried the free ebooks and products from:
DIETASYPESO . C O M
Lost 15 lbs in just 16 days and never recovered any single pound even with not exercise a lot. Very Happy with it.

MrSILVERBACK43@sonne5,u say that u havent gained or seen results from all the working out u have done…imagine how much u stand to lose,including the gains u have achieved..if u quit…like the vid lemmhayward,disagree about the back being arched though
great workout man..search karl bryant jordan earl for another killer chest workout
@sonne5 I used to have the same problem about feeling it more in my shoulders. The best way to overcome it I think is thru light-weight flys which really are the best exercise to build that mind-muscle connection with the pecs. Start off with pussy weights – for me it was like 12-15 pounders – where you can totally feel it in the chest, and then gradually work your way up. And once that connection is built you’ll feel the presses more in your chest too.
What? arching your back is very dangerous with heavy weight on the bench press. You can herniate a disk. Transferring lets say 270 lbs strait into your spine…what do you think? The only benefit to it, is that your lower chest is within the range of motion more. but not worth screwing ur spine up. Decline bench solves that problem.
@sonne5 It’s ok this is how i felt when i first started. It’s not about doing the exercise, and how fast you go. It’s about how you do it, and how slowly you do it, and how much effort you put into it. Just keep trying. And, also it depends on you’re nutrition. Main point for gaining muscle is protein. Without protein you can’t create muscle.
great video, thanks mate
@sonne5
Try doing daily push ups to help bring up your chest. I did this when I was in martial arts, before I ever started weight training, and it really helped give my chest development a head start over my other bodyparts.
I’ve been doing flys/bench presses/and incline presses for a long time now and am about to quit. No matter what I do, my chest never looks different. I’ve seen good results everywhere else … biceps, triceps, forearms, stomach, shoulders, etc … but any exercise I do for my chest doesn’t help at all. Also, when I do bench presses/flys, I feel it only in my shoulders … my pecs don’t burn whatsoever.
If you already have shoulder problems, what would you suggest to be able to do heavy presses or flys again? Thanks.
@seanjmurray yea its all good im not sure where that guy is from but he doe’s sound like he’s from eastern canada lol,have a good one back to sports on tv……..but first outside for a smoke……
@eddieisgreat5150 well i was only messing saying that… its cool i just love a good arguement on youtube sorry man =]
@seanjmurray yea ok that really shows im an idiot,the only reason i called u an idiot is because you said it only works for Canadians,to me that just sounded stupid, so if you did that work out in Ireland you wouldn’t get results from it ,anyways this is my last comment back to you because only idiots keep sending comments back and forth like we are anyways im sure your a good guy just didn’t like the comment…..
@eddieisgreat5150 It actually does cause it shows how much of an idiot you are.
@seanjmurray an, a,it doesn’t matter the result is still the same idiot…..
@eddieisgreat5150 I think what your trying to say is “your AN idiot”. Uneducated bastard
@seanjmurray your a idiot…..
Hi Lee
I get the impression that how you lift determines what results you get. I’m guessing that if you lift slow and heavy you gain size and endurance and that if you life fast and heavy, you get size and strength?
What do you think?
doesnt the military press at 2:45 help your shoulders, not you chest?
dont be fooled. this only works for canadians
