How to Build a Bigger and Better Chest

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.

Incline Bench Press - This exercise works the upper chest area. 4 sets, 6-10 reps per set at 65% of your 1 rep max

Decline Bench Press - This exercise works the lower chest area 4 sets, 6-10 reps per set at 75% of your 1 rep max
