THE BEST
Chest and Triceps Workouts



Your Questions Answered...

The kick-start to your ultimate exercise program starts with the Chest and Triceps.


Muscles Worked

• Pectoralis Major & Minor (Chest muscles)
• Anterior & Medial Deltoid (front of shoulder)
• Tricep (back of arm)




Exercise Focused on – Chest Press


When you take a good look at what this machine offers you will be pleasantly surprised and so will your Chest and Triceps..!

Below I have deliberately written so whether you are a man or a woman you will read each others needs and goals when training the Chest and Triceps. I have done this so you may be able to help someone out in your life that may be suffering from any of the below problems.

This may be the kick-start they need… YOU!


So as we begin with the Chest and Triceps…
We will follow on to other favourites such as the Legs and Butt, Back and Biceps and finally the Abdominals.


Let's get Started!

For the Women… (ladies first!)

If you are woman and afraid that working out will sag your breasts, or better yet they will disappear? Then the Chest press is going to be one of your favourites!

This exercise focuses on working the pectoral muscles that sit behind the breasts. The exercise will help pull the breast tissue up making them appear fuller and helping to decrease the look of sagging or droopy breasts.

The back of the arms will also tighten, some people refer to this area as "Grandma Flaps." Whatever they are this exercise has a strong focus on firming and toning this spot!

Now of course you must understand that the breast is made up of fatty tissue and if you are training cardio (getting the heart rate up) then this will have the opposite affect. This is where balance comes in!

If you learn to enjoy both strength and cardio training, plus focus on eating correctly! There will be one result when you work with moderation in both forms of exercise... You will achieve your goals! 

Your chest and triceps will love you as you will be following the right routine for all your desired results...!!



For the Men

Fella’s the Chest and Triceps is one part of the body we love… Some of us love it too much and can neglect the other side (your back) and end up with major problems.

All in all the Chest, Triceps and Biceps are all genuine Loves for any man. I already know your as keen as mustard to crack into the program and work that chest out! So the last thing i want to do is hold you back.

I’m just going to make a One quick point and then please… GO FOR IT!

1. This is important so I’ll repeat what I wrote at the start. Do not neglect the back. I have seen it far too often the man that works and works on the chest and triceps. Tightening those Pecs, so much so that his shoulders will start to droop forward. 

This not only looks horrible it creates major problems in the upper back and neck region. Do yourself a huge favour and love looking after your entire body…

Ok so you’re ready to go!

Please do your warm up, have a stretch (If you have no idea what I’m talking about please click here!)

Each of the three different types of training will require different repetitions and sets. Please ensure you have checked out Endurance, Strength & Power before continuing!

Performing the Chest Press


Starting Position
  • Take a seat in the machine
  • Position your back so it is straight against the machine
  • Create the natural arch in the back by placing the shoulder blades against the machine
  • Lift your elbows up so they are level with your shoulders and your hands out in front of you at 90 degrees to your elbows.
  • Your elbows should be in line with your chest. (See Changing Seat Height below if you are not)
  • Now take the handle grips, ensuring your wrists are flat and comfortably tight

Changing the Seat Height

  • Place one hand underneath the seat for stability
  • Use the other hand to gently pull the lever towards you, this will realease the pin and allow you to move the seat up and down

First Repetition:
  • Double check your shoulders are against the seat
  • Squeeze your tummy and hold it tight
  • Take a deep breathe in through the nose
  • Blowing out as you push the weight all the way to the end – Counting  1 and 2 
  • Ensure the elbows do not lock (keep them soft)
  • Immediately bring the weight back in counting 1, 2, 3 and 4 taking a deep breath through your nose
  • Do not let the weight touch, keep the pressure on the muscles
  • Start from the top of First Repetition and continue to your desired repetitions (Endurance, Strength or Power)

Important things to remember through the set:
  • Continue to count 1 and 2 as you lift the weight
  • Breathe out through the mouth during the Pushing phase
  • Keep your back straight and your tummy tight as you push the weight
  • As you bring the weight back down count 1,2,3 and 4
  • Breathe in through the nose as your bring the weight back in.
