  • The Only 3 Chest Exercises You Need To Build Muscle...www.liveanabolic.com
    You don’t need a lot of different exercises and equipment to get a bigger chest. All you need is a set of dumbbells, and these 3 exercises to help you get a bigger chest at home. You are probably used to doing the same chest exercises in your workouts, and it is important to change up that routine to spark new muscle growth. That is why the 3 exercises I am about to give you will help you build a bigger chest and work your chest differently. Let’s get started with the unique 3 exercises you need to build muscle with dumbbells only.
    Exercise #1: DUMBBELL INCLINE SQUEEZE PRESS. The goal is to squeeze the dumbbells together and maintain that squeeze. You are going to work your chest throughout the entire range of motion. Press the weights together throughout the whole movement from stretch to contraction. Applying the constant tension to the chest, will help you build more muscle in your chest.
    Exercise #2: TRICON DUMBBELL BENCH PRESS. With the TRICON sets, here is the layout. It is 9 total reps, the first 3 reps are explosive, the second 3 reps are isometric 10 second holds, and the last 3 reps are super slow reps (4 seconds up and 4 seconds down). You can do this exercise with lighter weight, and still get the great benefits of working your chest with the TriCon Training.
    Exercise #3: MID-LINE BENCH PRESS. You are going to bring the dumbbells to the midline of your body at the top of the movement, using a supinated grip. This is going to help you get a great contraction, and help you work your inner chest. You are going to be pushing away from the body, while coming across at the top of the movement.
    Incorporate these exercises into your chest workouts, and you are going to see some great results. This will help spike your muscle growth, by hitting the chest muscles in different ways.
    Alright guys, that wraps up this video tutorial with the only 3 chest exercises you need to build muscle with dumbbells only. Make sure to subscribe to our channel for more videos on how to build more muscle and get ripped fast.

I do 3 sets, 10-15 reps and 60 second rest between sets. I suggest you make sure you include the number if sets, reps and rest time for all your videos. You're Awesome. THANK YOU!!!

    I’m 81 years old and started doing these exercises a few weeks ago as I was having problems with heavier weights with the arthritis in my wrists and hands. In any event besides a good workout it seems to have helped the” head forward “ condition I have with my back. I have never had such a straight back for years. I enjoy your information.

      Congrats on starting your training. Im 66 myself but Ive been fit and weight training since HS. Stay away from heavy weights at first! Its a quick way to injure yourself and get discouraged. You have to strengthen your tendons first, so stay with light weight. Do multiple sets and gradually increase the weight. Good luck

I'm 56 270 and been doing some of your work outs but just in parts for the last 5 months. I'd like to get into a routine of different parts instead of doing the same things everyday. I try to switch it up but i'm not sure if some of the things i do are doing the same muscle but in a different way. the 30 minutes a day that i have been doing have made a difference but a step by step would be awesome. Thanks for the great videos

    I'm 51 and had multiple dislocated shoulder injuries. These exercises look promising! Thanks

    I'm a 59 year old gym rat who had shoulder surgery from a bad fall April 2023. I have recovered nicely because of time spent in the gym for years. I am always looking for different ways to lift and gain muscle. I will try your technique. Thank you sir!💪🏾

    Really nice and easy to understand, thanks. The last of the three though, I was taught to do with elbows still bent as if using a vertical "butterfly" pec machine. Is that wrong? You straightened your arm when bringing back to mid-chest. 50+ and hanging in there so appreciate any advice. x
