I want to start by saying that I feel your pain guys.
I was there - skinny and flat chested - you could not pay me to take of my shirt or any reason, even if I was at home alone in my room! I hated walking in front of the mirror and seeing that "tooth pick" looking kid.
I had always considered myself an athletic person, but I just could not figure out how to make my chest bigger.
To make matters worse, I also had very broad shoulders! This means that not only was my chest flat but it was wide and flat just plan pathetic! I absolutely hated going to basketball practice on the days when we had to scrimmage "shirts" vs.
"skins"! It was absolutely embarrassing the cheerleaders would always seem to pop into our practice on those days and I hated it with a passion! I did not want anyone to see how skinny I actually was under my shirt(s) - it bothered me so much.
So moving along now - as I got older, I started doing some research to learn exactly what it takes in order to build some serious muscle mass in my chest.
I was amazed at how simple it actually was! There are basically three simple steps that have to be followed and absolutely anyone can do them! First, you should always perform your chest workout with maximum intensity and progression.
This means that you need to focus on moving the most about of weight possible for as many repetitions as you can.
You should start with weight that you can complete at least five repetitions with but no more than seven.
If you are able to do more than seven repetitions then you should increase the weight.
During every workout, you should focus on either lifting slightly more weight or completing more repetitions.
Second, you need an adequate amount of rest.
When you are in the gym workout out, you are breaking down your muscles, not building them.
Muscle growth takes place outside of the gym.
With this being said, you need to make sure that your muscles have plenty of time to heal and grow! In order to stimulate muscle growth, each muscle group should not be trained more than once per week.
Third, you must have proper nutrition.
In order for your body to repair itself and build muscle it must have the proper tools.
Your diet is probably the most important part of your muscle building process! If you are not eating properly, then you are completely wasting your time in the gym.
Your body requires a surplus of calories, protein and other nutrients to rebuild your muscles bigger and stronger in order to handle the new stress that is being put on them.
So there you have it! If you want to build a huge, massive and button popping chest, just follow these simple steps.
Train with intensity and progression, rest, and eat properly.
Do this and I guarantee that you will start to see results.
It definitely worked for me...
so I'm positive that absolutely anyone can do it if you are willing to put forth the effort.
