Chest Training For Beginners

The chest is a two-headed muscle group located on your torso's upper front part, above your stomach. The clavicular head refers to the upper portion of the chest. It originates on the clavicle (hence its name) and inserts into the humerus (the larger upper arm bone). The sternal head refers to the middle and lower portion of the chest and makes up most of the muscle group. It primarily originates from the sternum and six primary costal cartilages. Similar to the clavicular head, it also inserts into the humerus.


Both heads of the chest work together in activities like throwing, lifting something off the floor, pressing weights, and adducting our arms (such as when we hug someone). Depending on our arms' position and the angle at which we do activities, we can emphasize different regions of the chest. For instance, chest pressing on an incline bench allows us to emphasize the chest's upper portion. In contrast, doing an exercise like the dip enables us to better train the fibers of the lower region.


Building a solid chest is a goal of many trainees. Plus, with the popularity of the bench press, most new gym-goers head straight for chest training when they first get started. The problem is, effective chest training is about more than simply bench pressing. Understanding the muscle group and what functions it has will make the entire process much more productive.In it, you’ll learn everything you need to know to get started right away.
