Chest Exercises

Exercises with your chest as the primary target:

• Barbell Incline Chest Press - Free Weight

  Using an incline bench targets the upper chest more so than using a flat bench for chest press. You can even vary the angles on some benches.

• Barbell Pullover - Free Weight

  Use a barbell on a flat bench to do this pullover exercise to strengthen your back and under arm muscles.

• Cable Chest Press - Machine

  This chest press uses independent cables that allow your arms to press their own weight, and also allows your stability muscles surrounding the shoulders to get a good workout.

• Cable Decline Chest Fly - Machine

  You will strengthen your chest and biceps muscles with this exercise and get a stretch across your entire chest while you do the exercise.

• Cable Standing Fly - Machine

  Using a cable machine to do chest fly allows you to strengthen your stability muscles while you work the major muscles of the chest.

• Decline Dumbbell Chest Fly - Free Weight

  This exercise targets the pecs in a different way and is a great way to ensure that you are hitting the chest muscles from every direction.

• Intermediate Push-ups - Stability Ball

  Using a stability ball, you can do these push-ups in order to challenge your chest muscles from a different angle than when your feet are on the floor.

• Pullover - Free Weight

  This exercise targets the pulling muscles of your back from a different angle than other typical back exercises.

• Smith Chest Press - Free Weight

  Using the Smith machine to do chest press provides a good guide for your arms' motion since the ends of the bar is fixed, making this a closed-chain exercise.

• Smith Decline Chest Press - Free Weight

  This exercise pairs well with incline chest press, as it targets the lower pecs (chest muscles). Because you are on the Smith Machine, it will guide your motion so that you do not have to worry about dropping the bar too early or "getting stuck".
