Solid Tangible chest muscles are the goal of every man who goes to the gym, but many people’s upper chest muscles are in a weak state. Insufficient upper chest muscles will detract points from the beauty of the chest muscles! That kind of breast shape seems to be saggy, which is not very good-looking!
In order to make up for this weakness, we need to adjust our training to develop our upper chest so that it submerges the collarbone!
A common practice is to adjust the flat bench to an incline angle to train the upper fibers of the chest muscles, such as incline barbells, dumbbell bench presses, flyes, chest clamps, etc.!
However, besides incline movements, are there any other movements that can strengthen the upper chest?
Today I will introduce you to a good move: T-bar chest press!
Using a T-shaped barbell to perform oblique presses can exercise our upper chest muscles very well!
The path of the hands during the T-bar incline press is not much different from that of the "incline bench press". Since the T-bar shoulder press is not pushed directly above the head, the upper side of the pectoralis major muscle will be more involved in the action. Instead of the anterior deltoid muscles, and because there is no restriction from the stool, your shoulder blades can move freely, which is also kinder to your shoulders!
How?
1. Add a plate to one end of the barbell. Make sure the other end of the barbell is against the wall, or use a heavy object to support the other end so that it cannot move backward. And place the barbell at your feet.
2. Kneel down on your knees, grab one end of the barbell with both hands, bend your elbows, and hold the barbell in front of your chest. .
3. Maintain the stability of the trunk, and then, chest muscles, and three heads push the barbell upward at the same time, and the movement trajectory is a diagonal upward!
4. Slowly lower the barbell back to your chest.
