5 Chest Exercises That Should Be In Every Chest Workout


 1. Push-Ups (3 sets of 10-15 reps)

  • Start with standard push-ups or modify by dropping to your knees.
  • Keep your core engaged and lower yourself until your chest is just above the floor.



2. Dumbbell Chest Press (3 sets of 10-12 reps)

  • Lie on a bench or the floor with dumbbells in each hand.
  • Press the weights up until your arms are fully extended, then lower them slowly.



3. Dumbbell Chest Flys (3 sets of 10-12 reps)

  • Lie on a bench or mat and hold dumbbells above your chest with a slight bend in your elbows.
  • Slowly lower the weights outward until you feel a stretch, then bring them back together.



4. Incline Dumbbell Press (3 sets of 10-12 reps)

  • Use an inclined bench and press the dumbbells upward.
  • This targets the upper chest and shoulders.



6. Triceps Dips (3 sets of 10 reps)

  • Use a bench or parallel bars to dip your body down and back up.
  • This engages the chest along with the triceps.

Bonus Tips:

  • Warm-up: Always start with 5-10 minutes of dynamic stretching or light cardio.
  • Progressive overload: Gradually increase weights or reps over time.
  • Form first: Focus on proper technique to avoid injuries.
