The awesome chest of charles Atlas
A thick, powerful chest is the key to a great physique. It is also foundational to building a total body you can be proud of. It is extremely difficult to build your other upper body muscles if you have a weak chest. Building up your chest muscles will have unexpected benefits as well – when you are working out your pecs, you will also be working out your arms, shoulders, and the smaller stabilizing muscles in your torso. This in turn will lead to increased gains in other areas, and more ease in making those gains.
For example, it is a lot easier t0 build a great back if your chest is not a weak point. It’s a lot easier to build great arms if your chest is there to act as an assistant when you are going for a new max on your triceps extensions.
I’ve been lifting since the early 1980s, and I’ve made every dumb mistake there is trying to build my chest up, but I’ve also figured a few things out.
In the near future, we’ll be building out this site with tons of chest workouts and so much more:
- Video chest workout routines
- Step by step instructions on building your own routine
- The best ways to integrate a focused chest workout within a whole body plan
- Tips and tricks from all around the net – and from the great bodybuilders of the past
We’re also going to attack some persistent myths and old wives’ tales concerning building a great chest, and hopefully we can show you a few things that you can apply to your situation.
We all have different reasons for working out, but the main one is appearance. Yes. I know, we can tell our friends and significant others that we want to stay young, or we think that out body is a temple, and so on, but at the end of the day, it’s all about the look you get when you walk past a a nice looking woman. Does her gaze slide over you as if you were a piece of furniture, or does it linger? Maybe she even does a second take? Time to say hello.
If you are already in a relationship, so much the better. Whether you are male or female (and we will adress the needs of both in this blog) your partner will love showing you off if you are in shape.
