While many regular gym-goers have a range of traditional chest exercises that certainly do the job, they likely won’t be sufficient if you’re looking for significant growth. Here are some alternative chest exercises that you may not have tried that are sure to give you an enormous pump like never before.
Glute Bridge Floor Press
Lie flat on your back before lifting your knees, ensuring that your core and hips are engaged and create a straight line. As you perform your chest press, not only will you work your chest and shoulders, but you’ll condition your core and glutes, giving you a well-rounded workout for large sections of your body. You’ll also get a full range of motion as you work your chest.
Back Supported Cable Fly
While regular chest flies are an effective workout, they come with the risk of serious shoulder injury due to the extent of your shoulder and chest extension. By using cables and a bench, you can provide extra support to your chest and shoulders.
Band Resisted Dumbbell Press
Despite how effective the chest press is on its own, you can add an extra challenge by combining your dumbbells with resistance bands. This will make you not only develop a stronger chest but also help you develop control as you look to maintain your posture and technique as the resistance bands work against you.
