There are a number of upper chest exercises available to a strength trainer and in this article I will explore the upper chest exercises that will stimulate the most growth. The majority of upper chest exercises will be performed on an incline bench which provides the correct angle for resistance specifically on the upper chest, as opposed to using a flat bench which applies the most resistance on the lower chest muscles. The upper chest is usually the most difficult part of the chest to grow so when you see someone with a developed upper chest it looks very impressive since very few people seem to be able to grow the upper chest to the same degree as the lower chest.

The fastest way to build big legs is with squats. If you are not afraid of a bit of hard work you will definitely build big legs with squats a lot faster than you ever could with leg extensions or just about any other leg exercise. Doing squats each week or at least twice a month is probably the most effective way to build massive legs without having to do an enormous amount of sets for the leg muscles. The legs are big and powerful muscles and they need a lot of stimulation to grow so squatting is the king of all exercises in any leg training program.

The rear deltoid muscles are often overlooked when training the shoulders although they really give a polished and rounded look to the shoulders when they are developed. There are number of rear deltoid exercises that will stimulate growth in the delts but usually you only need to do 3 heavy or high intensity sets for the rear delts at the end of your shoulder workout. If you always finish your shoulders workout by performing a few sets of rear deltoid exercises you may notice some immediate growth in the rear delts and this will complement your front and side deltoid development.

If you want to grow a thick muscular back in the shortest time possible you need to concentrate on back thickness exercises like deadlifts. Many weight trainers and bodybuilders neglect to train their back as hard as they train their other bodyparts and as a result their whole body suffers. When you train your back with heavy weights you stimulate testosterone production in a way you never could by training only smaller bodyparts like arms. Back training with heavy weights will not only allow you to grow a thick muscular back but will also allow you to thicken other bodyparts like your shoulders and arms.

Without a doubt the idea of training your abdominal muscles to lose fat around your stomach area or midsection is the biggest myth in fitness training. As a personal trainer I see overweight people in the gym everyday training their abdominals for set after set and they wonder why they never look any leaner around the belly. On too many occasions to count I have told people that they will never lose weight around their middle by performing sets of ab exercises like crunches, sit ups, leg raises and so many others but often they seem to know best and continue in vain with their constant abdominal training.

Since we use our calf muscles every day when we’re walking around, there seems to be some debate over how often we should train our calves for optimum muscular development and how much weight should we use. The key to effectively building the calf muscles and continuing to make good muscle gains over the long term is a combination of intensity and tricking the muscle with constant change. The calf muscles get a lot of work carrying all of our bodyweight whenever we walk but this won’t make them bigger and more muscular, training them using a mix of high reps, low weight alternated with medium weight with high reps is the best way to stimulate serious calf growth.

In terms of the best exercises for shoulder development you really can’t go past the shoulder press. The shoulder press is about all that stands in your way to getting big round deltoids. There are a number of other great movements for growing the delts but none are as effective in building mass as the shoulder press. One of the main reasons why the shoulder press is so effective for big deltoids is because it can be performed in a number of different ways to target the shoulder muscles from numerous angles. It is from constantly hitting your shoulders at slightly alternate angles by using different exercises that cause your body to grow workout after workout and not get stuck on a plateau of no growth.
