Alright so we all know the main lifts to pack the beef on…Squats, Deads, Benches, Military Press.
Sure I’ve built up a solid base but my chest is lagging and well I’ve heard it here before that using just the 3 lifts to build an impressive physique won’t entirely work…
So I am sticking with my meat and potatoes obviously but would like some auxiliary exercies to build up the other muscles more so to look good. Things I never do that I am going to do after main benching.
Chest:
Chest Flyes
Bench Press to neck (I tried these, I’ve never ACTUALLY felt my chest work so much)
Incline Bench (i’ve always neglected these)
Any other idea’s? I’m getting width and upper chest working here…I could use some db presses for thickness as well but I think that covers the chest. I don’t have any machines, so it’s not really an option. But I’m sure these will work.
Shoulders:
Lateral Raises!
Front raises - don’t think I need these because of all the military pressing and such
Rear Raises, I do those
I think that covers that? lol
Arms:
I do BB curls, DB curls, Hammer curls, and yes chin ups lol
I’m actually quite happy with my arm development.
Back:
I never do shrugs but I do deadlift so my traps are built up pretty good.
BB Rows
DB Rows
Pull-ups (wide)
Chin-ups
I should include shrugs.
Also I never do any seated rowing and I’m sure that helps.
Anything else you guys know of auxiliary exercises that may help me.
I think I covered it all, like I said my list can’t be extraordinary because no machines but I think adding the chest flyes, inclines, benches to neck will help put some meat on the chest…I’ve actually have had sore chest the last few days…and have never had that before lol
Any other suggestions for back and shoulders or is that pretty much that can be done?
Thanks guys.
