How to Build A Bigger, Better Chest

The bar for beach muscles has been raised – aimless repping no longer cuts it. If you want a bigger chest you need to get scientific with your gym time. Alternate between our two lab-tested sessions to add size faster than ever. You don't need a white coat – but you will require a bigger T-shirt.




Creating a larger more powerful chest is difficult but if you follow this easy workout you'll see results in no time.
Each of the chest exercises listed should be done with proper form to not only avoid injury, but the better your form is, the better results you will get. Please also note that even though these are only a few chest exercises, these are the most effective. You may or may not want to do every one of these chest exercises in your chest workout routine.
