By Emmanuel Palmer

Who is your ultimate super hero? Is it Batman, Superman or Wolverine? They all usually have two things in common: super powers (alright, batman just a super utility belt but it's still awesome), and a super body. That's right, these buffed up, muscled men are the ideals of strength and virility we've all come to recognize. Maybe you've always wanted to be one or at least fake it by looking like one. The best way to do this is by learning how to build chest muscle fast.

Alright, maybe the mission is a little less pressing than world peace but everybody has to start somewhere right? Concentrate on building your knowledge on how to build muscle the right way, other super qualities you can learn as you go on.

To effectively build chest muscle fast you need to understand the workouts that will work in the specific areas in your chest. The incline barbell bench for instance will target the upper chest muscles. Use slow and purposeful movements and feel the burn when you do. Don't let the bar touch your chest because this will remove from the stress you want to put on the chest also putting strain on your shoulder joints as well.

Use the decline barbell bench press and the decline dumbbell fly to exercise your lower chest muscles. Have a spotter nearby to assist you in lifting because the angle may be a little tricky especially for those who are attempting to do this for the first time.

And last but not the least; get that wide and strong chest by exercising your inner and outer chest muscles with flat bench dumbbell fly. Maintain the correct form throughout the whole drill. Keep careful watch that your shoulders don't move forward as you extend the weights back to its original position. If you do, this will strain your shoulders and might cause you problems in the future. In training, the proper way of executing the exercises is more important than hurrying through it just to complete the required reps and sets.

If you are a beginner and have attempted to blaze through these training sessions, chances are you will feel extreme soreness running through your body. Don't worry, you will gain the endurance for it soon enough. After several weeks of gaining strength, try to carry out these exercises to failure. This means to train the muscles targeted to its maximum tolerance level. You will find that muscles develop really fast this way. When you attempt to do this, make sure that there is a professional trainer nearby to assist you.

Add more drills into your workout regimen. Keep changing it up ever few weeks because your body hits a plateau after a while if it stays at the same level for long periods of time. Put in pullovers to work the muscle between your chest and back (serratus anterior) and add more dumbbell flyes into your routine. These isolate your chest muscles more than most exercises.

Follow these training suggestions and you will successfully build chest muscle fast. Let them keep the tights and cape; with your new physique, you'll be in your beach shorts all day anyway! - 29951
