Chest Exercises

CLOSE HAND PUSH UPS





Lie straight on the floor with your toes on the floor. Keep your hands closer than your shoulder width. Lower your body until your chest is about to touch the floor. Now push your body back up and breathe out.

CABLE CROSSOVER





You will need cables for this exercise. Place them up higher above your head. Hold the handles in both hands and stand in between both pulleys and go a few steps forward. Extend your arms and slightly bend your elbows. When you begin the movement make sure only your shoulder moves, everything else should stay stationary. Bring both hand as close together as you can, keep the position for a few seconds and then bring them back while breathing out.

LYING CABLE FLYES



Hold two opposing low pulley stirrup attachments. Lie on the bench, in middle and perpendicular to both pulleys. Slightly bend elbows and internally rotate shoulders so elbows are back. Bring cables together in a hugging motion with elbows in fixed position and shoulders internally rotated so elbows are to sides. Return to starting position until slight stretch. Repeat.

CHEST DIP



Keep your arms straight with shoulders above hands. Bend knees and hips slightly. Lower body by bending arms allowing elbows to flare out to the sides. When slight stretch is felt in chest or shoulders push body up until arms are straight. These are similar to tricep dips but lean your chest forward to put pressure on your chest when you push up. Repeat.
