http://www.LeeHayward.comIt's Lee Hayward here with a complete chest and shoulder weight training workout routine.Hardly a day goes by that I don't get at least one e-mail from someone asking how they can build a big muscular chest. Well in this video clip I'm going to share one of my all time favourite chest workouts for fast muscle gains.I like to start my chest workouts with a big basic compound power exercise. Usually some form of the bench press. In this video I'm doing the barbell bench press but I'll sometimes use dumbbells or incline bench presses instead.When doing bench presses make sure to set up properly by expanding your chest, arching your upper back, and pulling your shoulder blades back. This will help to fully activate the chest muscles and place less strain on the shoulder joints. It's also a good idea to have a spotter with you at all times just in case you need help lifting the barbell off your chest.The next exercise that I like to do is the dumbbell flye. This exercise works the chest in the fully stretched position. I don't use heavy weights here, but rather I emphasize getting a full stretch in the pecs. I even hold the weights for a second at the bottom position to get a better stretch.You'll also notice that I only lift the dumbbells about ¾ of the way up. Going all the way up just takes the stress off the chest muscles.In the video I'm doing incline bench flyes. But sometimes I'll do flat bench flyes, or decline bench flyes to work the chest from different angles.I'll finish up my chest workout with the pec-dec flyes. This works the chest in the fully contracted position. You can't lock it out at the top and get a rest like you can with bench presses or dumbbell flyes.This is a great finishing exercise and really pumps up the pecs.You'll notice that I'll work the chest from all ranges of motion with a mid range power exercise the bench press, then a fully stretched exercise the db fly, and then a peak contraction exercise the pec d...
