You can pump the pectoral muscles in quite a lot of ways, and experts always argue about this. Some argue that with the help of a basic exercise — bench press — you can pump up the pectoral muscles. Others think it's a waste of time and need to use more sophisticated ways. I am sure that for a good result you do not need to limit yourself. It is worth trying and achieving the goal in all ways. Here are my top 5 favorite exercises for working out the pectoral.

Bench press

Ordinary and beloved by everyone. Do not forget that it can be done with different slopes of the bench and each of them pumps its part of the pectoral muscle.

• Horizontal bench press pumps the base of the pectoral muscles.
• The vertical bench press affects the upper part.
• The downward-sloping bench press pumps the lower segments more efficiently.

Dilution of dumbbells to the sides

It promotes muscle stretching and, as a result, their greater growth. The increase in muscle directly depends on the rupture of muscle fibers.

Pullover

I met him a long time ago. I noticed that in the gym, people who often devoted time to this exercise had pectorals an order of magnitude larger than the rest. Therefore, leaving a pullover without attention will be just a crime. And this exercise also has one amazing property, which is very little mentioned. It stretches the cubes of the press.

Push-ups on the uneven bars with arms apart to the side

It also works well on the chest due to the low inclination. It allows you to stretch and work out the fibers of the pectoral muscles more effectively, which are rarely used in normal exercises. At the same time, it works very effectively to work out the middle of the chest.

Push-ups from the floor with a wide arm position

At home, it is great for everyone, using those necessary parts that are needed for competent pumping of the pectoral muscles.

You can also consider many exercises with simulators. For example: bringing hands together in a simulator ("butterfly"), bench press in a hummer, bench press sitting in a Smith.

Each exercise will bring a certain contribution to the growth of the pectoral muscles. But the five exercises described above are the basis. Everything else should be used as a refinement.
