There’s a reason why ‘international chest day’ is on a Monday, because a lot of people are on a mission to supersize their pecs. We know you have plenty of other muscle groups to work through though, so this three-move workout from Sports Scientist Dr. Milo Wolf leaves you with plenty of time to attack the rest of your upper body, whilst also delivering a “crazy pec pump”. His humble words. Better still, you can do it at the gym, or attack it from home.
What is it about the chest though? Well, apart from donning the physique of superheroes and looking pretty nice in a t-shirt, a lot of chest exercises engage multiple muscles, contributing to upper body strength and improving the performance of other lifts. They also contribute to functional strength, as strong chest muscles help us push things, as well improving our posture. Basically, they’re not just a vanity project! Although, no judgment here if that’s only why you want to train them.
