The biceps muscle plays a secondary role in stabilizing and assisting the movement during the downward phase of a close grip barbell press. It helps to control the tempo of the movement and provides support to the shoulder joint. However, the primary muscles responsible for lowering the barbell are the chest, triceps, and shoulders.
A good muscle building workout to do 3 times a week at the gym would be 1 set of 8-10 reps of each of the following: barbell squats, leg extensions, lying leg curls, dumbbell pullovers, military press, seated cable rows, barbell bench press, barbell curls, pull-ups, bench dips, standing calf raises and crunches.
a 14 year old boy shouldn't workout too much as his muscles are still forming and growing. Exercises that will help to enlarge the pecks are barbell bench press, incline barbell bench press, decline barbell bench press, and decline dumbbell bench press.
Bench press
pecs triceps anterior delts
pectorils MAINLY front delts and triceps, and to a lesser degree the pecs.
There are many exercises that you can use. For instance push-ups, bench press with barbell or dumbbells (flat bench, incline and decline), dumbbell flyes, dips, cable crossovers, peck deck flyes, etc.
The opposite exercise to the bench press is the seated row.
A bench press is a form of exercise which is performed by pressing the mass of a barbell away from one's body while lying on a bench.
Start with a dumbbell bench press, barbell squat, barbell deadlift, pull-up, and ab bicycles on one day. Two days later, do a dumbbell shoulder press, barbell squat, bent over barbell row, chin-up, leverage bar, and decline bench crunches. Two days after that, try the same thing you did on the first day. Always remember to warm up and cool down!
No. Don't throw the bench press away just yet.
Press ups do increase chest muscle. When you're doing then it uses your pecks and the muscle above them.
