The first thing to do in this chest workout is to warm up. Take 5 to 10 minutes and use the

Next, do some stretching. It's important that you do a little bit of light stretching before
the start of the chest workout because you'll need to have your muscles well prepared.
The first exercise in this chest workout is the bench press. Lie down on the bench and put
your hands around an empty bar. The bar will not have any weight on it but it is very important
that you get into the correct mind set.

off the rack and slowly lower it to your chest, keeping your pecs tight and flexed. Pull your
shoulder girdle down against the bench, keeping the pressure on the pecs.
