Virtually all athletes should do their best to help maintain and improve upon their personal fitness should they
desire to excel in their own sport. By building a sound athletic fitness program and adhering to it, anyone can
become a much better athlete.
In this particular post, I am going to offer you a routine that you can incorporate into your athletic fitness program
that will help develop a powerful chest.
I am not a huge fan of doing sets of bench press, after sets of bench press... after more sets of bench press. That is just a Mundane addition to a physical fitness program.
Besides, there are a variety of people out there who feel that bench press is really a ineffective lift, and, while I do not totally agree, I am aware what they are just saying. It
is a restricted workout. And, if you would like create a sound athletic fitness program, it is important to mix it up
and get creative.
This particular one might be hard to understand by only examining the sets and reps involved. Therefore, I am
going to make sure that I clarify it in more detail below so that you have an extensive understanding of how you can
carry this routine out and add it to your fitness training program.
This is not a whole training session. Nevertheless, this is a good superset, or circuit (whatever you desire to call it) to
include in any physical fitness program. You're going to carry out the superset four times. Here is what it will look
like:
Your four supersets are going to involve the following:
-Max Rep Decline Push-Ups -Max Rep Regular Push-Ups -Max Rep Girl Push-Ups -Max Reps Dumbbell Flys -Max
Reps Dumbbell Bench Press
This is the way you are going to execute the superset/circuit:
1. You're going to begin the superset with decline push-ups and you're going to do those until you cannot complete
another rep.
2. Immediately following your decline push-ups, place your toes back on to the ground, so that you return to the
standard push-up position, and then complete as many regular push-ups as you can. When I do these, I can usually
only perform 1-5 regular push-ups.
3. Once you've completed the maximum amount of regular push-ups possible, drop your knees to the floor
and perform as many "girl" push-ups as you can. It is vital that you transition from the regular push-ups to the "girl" push-ups as quickly as possible. For example, if you are on
the last regular push-up you are capable of doing, and you're struggling to push yourself up, simply drop your
knees and continue going. You will find that after 5-10 of these you will really feel it in your chest. However, don't
stop at a specific number; do as many as you possibly can.
4. Now, flip over, get your dumbbells and begin doing flys. There's no need to get a bench, do them on the floor. The
reason behind this, is because you have already performed a lot of repetitions and you probably wouldn't be capable
of getting in an efficient amount of reps by doing the entire range of motion. You will find that doing flys with your back on the ground will limit your motion and you
will be able to perform more reps. Once again, do as many as you are able to.
5. Once you have maxed out on your dumbbell flys, switch to dumbbell press. This will work much like the flys, as
your range will be reduced. Perform the maximum amount of reps possible.
You are going to carry out 4 of these supersets/circuits. Rest a minute or so in between each set.
Cooling down and fitness nutrition is important to enhancing personal fitness. Right after a difficult workout routine, it is important to the recovery process that you cool off with some light movements. Cooling down will
help you return your heart beat to a normal level and will also help you get rid of waste products like lactic acid. You
can cool down by lightly running and some stretching exercises.
Another critical component of a fitness training program, is to make sure that you are eating the correct foods. Fitness nutrition is very important to any athlete who
would like to boost their personal fitness. If you want a list of foods that could be good for your state of health, take a
