Trainer Shares 4 Underrated Exercises to Trigger Chest Growth That Few Use
Trainer Shares 4 Underrated Exercises to Trigger Chest Growth That Few Use originally appeared on Men's Fitness. "Nobody likes a chicken chest," says C.J. Murphy, M.F.S., owner of Total Performance Sports—and we can't argue with him. If you want to project an image of strength and power, a broad, chiseled chest is one of the oldest, most time-honored ways of doing it. But there are better ways to build pecs than just the bench press. "The bench does work the chest, but it also works a bunch of related muscles, like the deltoids and triceps, among others," says Murphy. With these other exercises added to your pec workout, you'll have a chest you can balance a beer on in no time. Exercises for Chest Growth Decline Dumbbell Press Murphy first suggests the highly underrated decline dumbbell press. "It activates more available pec fibers than any other exercise," he says. "It's almost all pec because the range of motion is so short that your delts and triceps don't do a ton of work." The angle also allows you to vuse heavier weights, which equates to more work and a bigger chest. Use a weight that allows 10 to 12 reps on your first set, perform five sets, pushing each one until you're one rep shy of failure. Chest Flyes Then, it's on to flyes. Murphy advises using bands or chains to put less wear and tear on the shoulders. When the weight unloads as you go down on chain flyes, your shoulders will be safer at the bottom and you'll get a more powerful pec contraction at the shoulder. With bands, you can loop an exercise band around each hand and behind your back before picking up dumbbells. Perform four sets of 15 to 20 reps. Dips Finally, "dips are like the squat of the upper body," says Murphy, "in that they're a great way to increase pec mass." They press the muscles fully and also hit stabilizing lats and abs hard when done with proper technique. Perform 50 dips in a few sets as possible. Suspension Trainer Flyes But to really stimulate growth, try suspension trainer flyes, which utilize full-body tension. "Plus, it's done from an angle that you hardly ever use when doing presses, which creates a totally new stimulus that causes your nervous system and muscles to work differently, stimulating growth," he says. To do it, ensure that you're maintaining a strong plank position throughout each flye. Perform 40 total in as few sets as possible, using a body angle of 45 Shares 4 Underrated Exercises to Trigger Chest Growth That Few Use first appeared on Men's Fitness on Jul 15, 2025 This story was originally reported by Men's Fitness on Jul 15, 2025, where it first appeared.

Friends of Muslim Society marks Friendship Day by Awarding Talented Students, Scholars

The awardees included SSC and HSC students, including a large number of girls, who cleared their exams with flying colours. Nagpur University gold medallists, PhD scholars, successful NET/SET and CA candidates, and persons with outstanding performances were awarded on the occasion. A special Rs11,000 award sponsored by advocate Firdos Mirza was conferred on an Urdu medium girl student scoring the highest marks in the Marathi subject. The awardees included many students from Kamptee schools. Over three decades ago, some friends came together to start the tradition of awarding each other's kids in a modest living room of an apartment in Anant Nagar. "This was done to keep Muslim families and kids inspired and motivated towards the importance of education as the country was facing communal tension in the early 1990s. We also bring a community topper as one of the guests to guide the meritorious students in their careers," said MFS president Mushtaque Eshaan Qureshi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Over the years, the popularity increased, and the event turned public from being held privately at an apartment.

Similarly, kids suffering from cancer, sickle cell, or HIV too can avail financial assistance for education, and they must apply," said Pathan.

To improve your experience update it here A pet dog has been hailed a hero after helping its elderly owners - the grandparents of Port Adelaide captain Connor Rozee's wife - escape their burning home. Little Jack Russell Vivienne alerted elderly couple Helen and Geoff Packer when their fire alarms failed to activate after their home on Glen Avenue in Unley Park went up in flames about 3am. The Packers, who are grandparents of Port Adelaide captain Connor Rozee's wife Maisie Packer and members of a prominent Adelaide business family, were reportedly asleep when the fire broke out. Little Jack Russell Vivienne alerted elderly couple Helen and Geoff Packer when their fire alarms failed to activate after their home on Glen Avenue in Unley Park went up in flames about 3am. (9News) According to the Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS), the home's fire alarms did not activate due to the external nature of the fire's origin. It started in the carport before rapidly spreading to the home's roof. The couple's house was extensively damaged by fire, with the estimated cost of damages reaching $2 million dollars. "It's a pretty bad day for them, they've lost most of their house. However, the Jack Russell dog has woken them up and they're unscathed," MFS' Gideon Douglas said. "Hundred per cent that dog needs some treats today," he said.
