My supply is limited in the PX but the weight room has little also i only weigh 148 pds and im 6′6 where do i start i eat like crazy nothing helps how do i put on weigh and build a chest
Wow, that’s a really low weight for your height. Have you talked to any of the coremans about putting on weight? As far as building muscle you want to do heavy weight with low reps.
Some exercises to do are bench press, dumbbell fly, dips, push-ups and all the variations. See if you can work up to a one arm push-up! Remember you want to do heavy weight a few times over lower weight many times. Good luck and be safe.

And does anyone know a website that has the ratios between DB and BB for bench (chest) press?
if you are working to failure on 2-6 reps of about 6-8 sets then you should be cool. You should switch between the barbell and dumbbell’s though for maximum muscle shock. it will help you gain. You need someone to spot you to failure though or you will never gain anything!

Video clip showing proper form of the incline dumbbell fly exercise for pecs. Fly type exercises have done far more for my pec development than the pushing type exercises. In doing flys, make sure that your arms do NOT go behind the plane of your body as this puts too much stress on the shoulder joint. Normally with flys, the arms are kept perpendicular to the body but in this variant I pretend I am doing cables from the lower pulley so I start with my hands pointing down to the ground and finish with them over the top of my head. This exercise is tough so use light weights and make sure to use slow, controlled form.
As with any dumbbell exercise, form is key if you want to maximize your muscle building efforts and minimize the chance of injury. Don’t use too much weight, if you can’t do the exercise slowly then you need to go lighter. Count aloud “one onethousand, two onethousand, three onethousand” on the way up and the way down, if you cant do this on this exercise then you are using too much weight. The reason this exercise method maximizes your muscle growth is because it confines the motion to the muscle you are trying to work out, if your body squirms, swings, and kicks, all you are doing is taking the focus away from the muscle you are trying to exercise.
Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

Video clip showing proper form of the dumbbell fly exercise for pecs. Most people focus on bench press for chest but I have found that for me the fly movements have provided the most muscle growth. This is a great home exercise! Here I am doing it on a bench but I actually prefer to do it flat on the floor to limit my range of motion and protect the shoulders. Using a bench you should have a spotter but on the floor you can easily work out alone.

Hi I need help building up my chest particularly in the upper chest because its starting to sink in for some reason and I need a good workout to fix that. Thanks
Focus on the bench press and incline bench press.
The incline bench press will really bring out the top of your chest for sure. Use a spotter or a squat rack for safety.
If you can’t get to a gym to use a barbell, incline dumbbell flys also work.

- chest workout. Hello again, Reuben Bajada here, today I am going to demonstrate another of my favourite programs, this time it’s my ‘chest workout’. Always remember that the pectorials are a large muscle capable of performing under a heavy workload, and when assisted by the deltoids (shoulders) can perform even more effectively.
Targeting the pectorial region from different angles and at different stages of muscular fatigue, are key to building a well developed, prominent chest. This workout transfers the science of building muscle into a more practical form, combining 3 commonly used exercises and forcing them to work in partnership for a common goal; muscular hypertrophy (growth of muscle cells).
Some techniques include;
- Shifting center of gravity
- Wrist Stabilization
- Pre Exhausting of certain body parts
Anybody can experience the benefits of gaining muscle, and it doesn’t take 2-3 hours in a gym like some people may think. At the end of the day your body is a system put together to perform many complex tasks, if it’s treated correctly from the inside out and given the appropriate duties to work with, it will respond with amazing gains especially during weight training.
As per normal, this workout is proven and tested on both myself and my clients. It is original and best of all leaves your chest with no option but to grow!

I love sqeezing exercises for chest as most of my results in chest mass and strength have come from this type exercise. I have covered the basic dumbbell fly in a previous video and here I have a cool variant that you do on an incline bench (or a board leaning against a wall). For this incline fly use a light weight, approximately 20% of what you use for incline dumbbell press. In this exercise we keep the arms straight but not locked and the arms are not perpendicular to our sides like in a normal fly, are not alongside our legs, but halfway inbetween. The palms are facing up at a 45 degree angle.

I need chest exercises that don’t need a bench, so I can’t do bench presses with a barbell or dumbbell because I don’t have a bench. And I already do pushups, so not that.
Any suggestions?
Good question.
Do the following:
(1) Push-ups:
Do 5 sets, 10 reps each set.
(2) Pull-ups.
Do as much as you can.
(3) If you have dumbells,
grab both dumbells on your side.
lift each one up to your shoulder.
repeat with the other arm.
5 sets. 7 reps each set.
If you have any more questions,
ASK me on MY Blog, http://bodfitness.blogspot.com/
I’ll answer as much as possible.
Good luck.
