Stubborn Chest?

        If you are like me you may have a stubborn chest that no matter what just doesn't want to grow. Desperate times call for serious action. Try this chest routine and you will spark some growth into your chest!
        In this routine we are going to take serious action in growing your chest muscles. To do that we are going to work your chest in BACK TO BACK days. The first day you will perform isolation moves to prime your chest muscles. Do 16-20 total sets of these isolation moves. Each set should be at least 25 reps, and you should not hit muscle failure on any set. You can to make sure you hit the muscle from at least 4 different angles. Do exercises such as; incline flyes, decline flyes, regular flyes, cable crosses, dumbbell pullovers, ect. Make sure you eat extra protein and carbs this day! It is very important to get extra nutrients.
       On the next day you will come and do presses. You want to do 16-22 sets of 6-10 reps. Focus on exercise such as barbell and dumbbell presses. You can do incline decline and regular of all three of these. Again, make sure you are hitting extra protein and carbs today too. After day two you will want to take a FULL week off from training chest.
       Do these back to back chest days for 4 weeks, then take at least 2 month off from this type of training to make sure you don't overtrain the chest muscles.
       Stayed tuned for more fitness tips and motivation!

Equipment

Is there anything you use to help track your fitness goals? Like an application for your phone or  a monitor of sorts?

I, (Ty), use a FitBit flex, which tracks my steps, calories eaten and burned, and things of that nature. It's nice, because it is an easy way to track fitness goals. 61YRYwYtSJL._SL1500_.jpg

I also use a heart-rate monitor so that I can make sure I am in the best zone for burning fat.

Things of this nature can be very helpful.

Stay awesome!

Goals

Have you ever made a goal because someone told you you should, or made fun of you for whatever reason? Like they call you fat or too skinny? If so, you may have wanted to prove them wrong by busting your butt trying to slim down it beef up. In reality you should set goals based on your ideal image of yourself. Try not to let other dictate your goals. Be who you are and do what you can to be happy with your body, and never give up just because it is hard.

Stay strong, motivation, and challenge yourself.
