Its Workout Week! Yesterday was Abs, Today we will focus on the Chest.

Chest:

Diversify your repetition schemes and emphasize heavier-weight, lower-repetition sets. This allows you to target your body’s fast-twitch muscle fibers, the ones with the greatest potential for growth.

At times, this workout calls for you to lift only your body weight while in a suspended position. Think gymnasts, who build rock-hard bodies without ever picking up a weight. This means you’ll improve your brain-to-muscle connection, which will train your body to recruit more muscle in every exercise.

Do Phase 1 for 4 weeks, working your chest twice a week with two separate routines (Day 1 and Day 2). (Do the exercises shown here as the chest portion of your upper- or total-body routine.) Rest at least 2 days between workouts. Complete Phase 2 workouts in the next 4 weeks.
