Fitness experience: Does every chest muscle training need to be comprehensive?
During chest muscle training, I believe you must have heard this tip: The chest muscle is a large, flat muscle. Angle training can make your muscles more dimensioned and three-dimensional
Because of this, many trainers perform a large amount of training every time in their chest muscle training. After practicing the bench press, they still need to do more exercises. After practicing the incline, you have to do the incline, and you have to do it from all angles while doing the flying birds...
Is this really good? Do you need to take into account the upper, middle and lower chest at the same time every time you train the chest muscles in the training plan?
First of all, the muscle fiber alignment of the chest muscles is indeed divided into upper, middle and lower bundles. If you want good-looking and full chest muscles, you must take both into account. This is very important in bodybuilding training
But It’s not that you have to practice all three parts together every time!
For the pectoralis major: In fact, no matter what training movements, your entire pectoral muscles are involved. It is impossible for you to train the upper chest only to exert force on the upper chest, and to train the lower chest. Only the lower chest exerts force, but changes in certain angles will favor certain parts!
Also, don’t easily say that your upper chest is particularly weak, because in fact, everyone’s upper chest is particularly weak. The upper chest is inherently smaller in muscles. Silk. This is its innate setting!
If you want to have both, That will inevitably produce a lot of training volume, and it will be very difficult to recover from training and overall fatigue management
If you start doing flat bench presses with all your strength, and then do incline bench presses, the remaining The strength is actually much worse, and the stimulation to the upper chest is not as much as expected! The quality of the single training is not that high!
At this time, You can try to occasionally switch the main movements of your chest muscle training to the following. For example, this month you mainly do flat presses, and next month you mainly do incline presses, or this time you do chest muscle training mainly with incline bench presses, and next time you do flat presses. Mainly bench press
This not only takes into account the development of the entire chest muscles, but also has better control over the training volume and intensity!
