4 Chest Exercises For Ultimate Growth!
Posted by BEAST Sports on
Team Beast athlete Larry Coleman gives you the lowdown on four of his favorite chest movements for ultimate growth!
Training chest is probably my favorite body part to train, and I'm always able to get a great workout. There’s nothing like the adrenaline rush from moving some serious weight on the bench press or the isolating burn of contraction exercises. I incorporate both compound and isolation movements during my workouts to really build the roundness of the muscle. Here are a few of my go-to moves when it comes to growth!
Incline Bench - Incline Bench Press is one of my favorite movements because it focuses on the upper pecs, while also taking the pressure and tension off the rotator cuff.

Close-Grip Cable Press - Utilizing seated cables, I start out in a seated fly motion and bring my hands into the center of my chest. Once my hands are centered, I use a pressing motion for the duration of my set.
Pec Fly - This emphasizes your pectoralis major muscle, the broad muscle of the chest, for major contraction. I love the isolation movement. It really allows me to squeeze at the top of my reps.
Flat DB Champagne Press - I do these with dumbbells using weight that can be stabilized while rotating my hands inward. The key is to keep the dumbbells parallel while lowering to your chest.
On my moderate days, I like to do 3-4 sets of each in the 10-12 rep range. When training heavier, I add more compound movements to my workout and focus on 5-8 reps while keeping my sets at 3-4. Either way, if it’s chest day give these exercises a try!
