In the video you see bellow, bodybuilding coach Lee Hayward goes over a few principles that all bodybuilders need to abide by when it comes to training the chest and finding the right techniques and methods in order to increase pectoral mass while at the same time increasing balance between both pecs.
Lee goes over the main causes of the imbalance between the right and left side of the body. One cause can be that due to an individual being right handed, their right part of their body typically becomes the dominant side and vice versa.
This lead to muscular imbalance which can sometimes appear but it is not so noticeable until you get on stage. That’s when the real details are shown. I wouldn’t really worry about muscle imbalance and would try my best sticking mostly to dumbbells when it comes to certain exercises. Especially the bench press, barbell curls, anything that has to do with a barbell. The reason is because it is hard to tell if both sides of your body are implementing the same amount of work required in order to push that weight up or pull that weight.
My word of advice as well as Lee’s is to stick to the dumbbells for the pec building workouts.

Incline Dumbbell Bench Press:
Lee illustrates for us the specific techniques needed in order to maximize the benefits we can get from the workout. As well as the benefit of the dumbbells including both arms to handle an equal workload. And in addition to that you also have more freedom of hand movement while executing the exercise which helps in taking some of the stress off of the shoulder joints. We want to avoid injuries at all costs. Because an injury will have a huge negative impact on your goals. You will go right back to where you started, having to work your way up again to where you were at before the injury occurred.
5 Sets of 10-15 Reps
Your first set should consist of half your working weight and your second should consist of 75% of your working weight. Working your way up to your normal weight, you will then go on to the next three sets using your normal weight.
Incline Dumbbell Flyes:
You will be performing the same amount of sets and reps for these as with the incline dumbbell bench press. The incline dumbbell flyes encourage the chest to have more of a stretch during the exercise movements. Which in turn help your pecs build more mass and become more full due to the stretching aspect of the compound movements.
A secret technique that Lee shares with us is to really focus on the stretch being incorporated by the movement and keep the weights low to moderate. Remember, we don’t want any injuries that are going to keep us out of the gym for a couple of months.This is more of a stretching move.
You will notice that when you push the weight up after feeling that stretch in the upper pecs from bringing the weight down, that you get kind of a break and you will not really feel the chest getting worked out by pushing the weight up. We are focusing on the stretching aspect of this movement. It is the technique that is going to lead to massive gains in the long run.
Low Pulley Cable Cross Over Flyes:
Now this is one of those movements that Lee has came up with. Where instead of using the high pully and bringing the arms down. Here you will be doing the opposite using the low pully and bringing the arms up, targeting the upper chest muscles. A little variation here that will lead to allot of successful muscle building. Due to the fact that it might be something you have never heard of before. And much less tried out before.
The Push-Up:
The most basic and simple movement that we should all be more than acquainted with. Yet most seem to or seek to overlook it. The fact is that the push up is by far the best exercise one can implement for building the pectoral muscles as well as the shoulder and arms.
Lee’s favorite as well as one of my favorite chest builder. It is a great way to finish off this workout by really getting a pump in the pecs. Lee advises to try to get in 100 total reps, which is what he does.
Either get them in by repping them out on the first set or do multiple sets with the reps increasing up to the 100 mark. You will experience a great pump in the chest and you will really feel that workout blasting your pectorals.
In conclusion, I want to thank you for visiting and reading my post, hope it has been of some help to you. I would like to hear from you so please give me some feed back, comment, like, share with your social networks.

How to Build Your Pecs Mass
Building Muscle Mass:
Building muscle mass can be quite a challenge at some point in time during your bodybuilding journey. It’s going to happen sooner or later no matter how good someone’s genes can be. In order to keep reaping the benefits of your workouts you have to be switching things up every month or two. By switching things up I mean finding different workout routines to increase your muscle mass.
Lee Hayward
If you stay performing the same workouts month after month, the body starts to get used to it and begins to lower the muscle building rate at which it was at. When you build your pecs, you have to hit them from every different angle possible. To really pump up the pecs thus helping you build more mass from those workouts.
I will lay out a few training routines to help you build your pecs as well as muscle mass within the pectorals below. It is specifically a routine designed for complete pectoral development.

Training The Chest Muscles:
There is two basic type of movements for the chest: Flys, in which the extended arms are drawn together across the chest in a kind of hugging motion; also Presses, where the weight is pressed upward off the chest with the front deltoids and triceps in addition to the primary effort from the pectorals being involved in the movement as well. The basic bench press performed with a barbell on a flat bench, the all time favorite workout of every bodybuilder as well as one of the three movements used in powerlifting. When performing the bench presses correctly using the proper grip and getting the fullest range of motion possible, you will be able to develop the overall mass of the chest.
However when changing the angle of the bench press, you target different muscles in the upper chest and front deltoids by doing it on the incline bench. Including incline presses from the beginning of your program is the smartest thing to do so that you don’t come to find out later that your upper pecs are underdeveloped relative to the middle and lower portions of your chest. In addition, performing allot of incline presses will help create that split between upper and lower chest that is impressive in most muscular poses.
The same as training any other muscle or muscle groups, the greater the range of motion you get in the chest exercises, the more intensity the muscle contraction you accomplish. Ultimately leading to the maximum amount of muscle growth. Its all about concentrating on the range of motion your getting from the exercise. As well as the contraction. Make sure you feel the muscle contracting and stretching while you are performing the workout.
The Mind and Muscle Connection:
It is very important that when you are working out you stay focused on the task at hand and leave all other distractions for later. I know how tough it can be when there’s a beautiful girl in the gym and you can’t help but look her way. The focus should be on the task at hand and your mind connection with your muscle while you are working out those muscles. It has been proven that when one concentrates and connects with the muscle with the mind, its a totally different experience. You will hear about this technique with every pro bodybuilder out there. They will tell you the same. So stay connected mentally with your muscles during your workout. Imagine them being the size you desire. Focus on the contraction and stretch. And you will get there faster.
