I am looking to build up my chest and back. Anybody have some exercises that are out of the norm that will help me with that?

    You can google a bunch of exercises. One thing to consider is that because of our lifestyles, sitting hunched over a computer in many cases, you may want to emphasize the back more that chest. Make sure you are doing at least 1-1 ratio back to chest. Bump closer to 2-1 if you are on a computer/sitting in an office for 8-10 hours a day.

    Good luck.

    Do you go to a gym or work out at home?

    I always find for chest, a great exercise is incline Flyes (I do these last, but really force the muscle to stretch)

    For back, i find Pendlay Rows are great for developing a good back.
