Good Inner Chest Workout
Great Chest Workouts
Bench Press
You can’t go wrong with the classic, standard bench press. The bench press is such a great chest workout because it specifically and powerfully targets your main pectoral muscles and allows for explosive movements. The bench press can be done with both high reps and low reps depending on what your goals are. If you are looking for definitive muscle growth you should do higher weights and lower reps, around 3-5, to really stress your muscles and rebuild them much stronger. If you just want definition than do lower weight and high reps, around 10-15. Make sure you are doing high weight that you have someone spot you so that you can push yourself on those final few “negative” reps without having to worry about dropping the bar.
Machine Flies
Most modern gyms have this great chest workout machine which is great because it is one of the best machines to use to really work your inner pectoral muscles. The great thing about the fly machine is that you can adjust span of your arms to give yourself a very wide, difficult rep or an easier and still effective fly rep. The fly machine is simple to use, just adjust the seat so that your arms are about lined up with the bars and then slowly push your arms together so your wrists touch. Repeat until your muscles are fully fatigued, rest, and it is recommended you do 2-3 reps to really feel and see the difference in your pecs.
Incline Dumbbell Press
This can be done either on an incline bench that is already set up at an incline or you can adjust a bench to the right incline you prefer. Either way, the movement and lift is just like a normal flat dumbbell press but instead your are lifting with a slight incline to stimulate a slightly different part of your pectoral muscles. If you really want to see results fast you need to do a good variety of chest workouts to hit all the different parts of your chest, inner, outer, etc. As long as you stay focused, keep your eyes off the free cable tv in the gym, focus your mind on building muscle and you are doing a good chest routine with these three workouts at least once a week you will see results in no time.
