How to train your chest

The chest responds to two movements: pressing and squeezing. Push-ups in all their variations, dumbbell presses and flys train the upper, mid and lower chest by changing the angle of your torso and the width of your hands — you don't need a different machine for each area, you move your hands.

Here you'll find every exercise on video with the form, the most common mistakes and the muscles involved, from knee push-ups for beginners to explosive ones. Golden rule: shoulder blades back and down, elbows not too wide, control on the way down. Drop yourself and bounce back up, and your chest does half the work while your shoulders do the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Can I train my chest without a bench?
Yes. Push-ups and their variations are enough for months; a step or two chairs replace the bench.
How often should I train chest?
Twice a week, with at least 48 hours of recovery in between.
I feel my shoulders, not my chest. What am I doing wrong?
Your elbows are flaring out. Bring them to about 45 degrees from your torso and squeeze your shoulder blades before you press.
