June 25, 2009


The regular bench press exercise is a multifarious exercise that necessitates synchronized work of chest, triceps and shoulders. The regular bench press exercise endows body with enhanced strength but it cannot be accredited to gain utmost muscle growth and shape in pectoral area. By performing the exercises mentioned below, it is possible for a beginner to gain mass, shape along with power in chest.

Dumbbell Bench Press - It happens often that barbell bench press triggers shoulder pain with elevated risks of rotator cuff injuries. Dumbbell bench press exercise facilitates stretching of pecs with ease by increasing the range of motion thereby stimulating newly formed muscle fibers to achieve maximum growth and shape. It is necessary to note that in case an individual’s maximum rep in barbell bench press is 250 pounds than the utmost capacity will be 125×2 dumbbells.

Incline Dumbbell Bench Press - Although, the advantages of incline dumbbell bench press are similar to the benefits of dumbbell bench press but the difference among two lays in their concentration on pecs. Incline dumbbell bench press concentrates on upper portion of pecs whereas the other concentrates on entire chest area. It is advisable for beginners to perform this exercise in the presence of trainer.

Parallel Bar Dips - The advantages of Parallel Bar Dips are immense for shaping and building mass in the complete pectoral area. The best technique is to grasp the handles of parallel dip equipment and hold hover between them. To keep major prominence on chest, lean forward while performing this exercise. Breathe in while lowering the body as down as body can effortlessly descend and then exhale while pushing body back up to the preliminary pose.

Wide Grip Decline Barbell Bench Press The only difference between a wide grip decline barbell bench press exercise and standard wide grip barbell bench press exercise is posture of hands. In this exercise hands are positioned as far as possible. Owing to the angle of this exercise, touching of chest to bar does not put stress on shoulders.
