So, what’s your biggest bench press? It is one of the most frequently asked questions around the country by gym enthusiasts. In fact the amount you can bench is a great yardstick for over all strength and is probably the best way to gain muscle mass on your upper body and therefore the exercise has reached almost mythical status. So in this article we will provide you with three tips for developing your bench press.

1) Do Drop Sets. These are fantastic in giving you a real burn and really forcing your muscles into new muscle growth. To do these simply perform your bench-press exercise as you normally would and when you can not do any more simply take off a weight disc and do as many more as you can. Then once more take some more weight off the bar and perform as many more reps as you possibly can. Keep stripping the bar in this manner until there is very little weight left or until your muscles are not able to perform any more. This is one method that is very intense and will leave you feeling very sore for a number of days to come. Keep your protein intake at a high level to ensure your muscle grow back stronger as soon as possible and to get rid of the muscle soreness.

2) Quit training your chest. Instead hit your tricep muscles on their own. By doing this you can really focus on increasing the strength of your triceps. Once you have done this for 3-4 weeks go back to your benchpress and I can you will more than likely beat your previous best. This is due to the fact that your chest will have had a really good rest period to completely recover from all of your previous workouts and also your triceps will now possess greater strength. Because you triceps take a great deal of the work load during benchpressing it is obvious that you will be able to press more if you strengthen your tricep muscles.

3) 10 sets of 10 repetitions. This is one more intense and tough technique, indeed Arnold Schwarzenegger was a big fan of this technique. Basically you lift as much as you can for ten reps rest and do another ten reps. Continue doing this until you have done ten sets consisting of ten reps each. You will have to reduce the weight each time and have to give yourself a two to three minute break between sets. The idea of this is to really give your chest muscles some new stimulus to grow. Once more expect to be particularly sore for maybe a week or so following this workout but also expect increase your maximum bench-press on your return to the gym. This is perhaps the fastest way to gain muscle on your chest if done correctly nd is great no no nonsense muscle building.

OK, I hope you found that useful so why not go ahead and give those tips a try in your next pecs workout.
