Okay Ladies and Gents. .Most of us want to have toned, firm and shapely breasts/chest to enhance our appearance and confidence. Breasts/chest are made up of mammary glands, fat and the underlying pectoral muscles. The best exercises for firm breasts/chest are ones that strengthen your pectorals.. Increase the weight over time and you will be on your way to firmer breasts/chest.
1...Chest Fly....3 sets of 12 reputitions...(30 sec rest in between)
Lie flat on the floor or on a weight bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Your arms should be directly out to your sides parallel to the floor. Keep your arms straight and raise the weights over your body. As you raise the weights, turn your wrists so that your palms face your head. When you lower the weights, turn your wrists again so your palms are facing one another. Squeeze your chest muscles and perform each repetition in a slow and controlled manner.
2...Arm Raises...3 sets of 12 reputitions...(30 sec rest in between)
Stand with a lighter weight in each hand. Keep your arms straight and raise them directly outwards until they are even with your shoulders. Slowly bring your arms out in front of your body and lower down. Ensure you are squeezing your chest muscles during this exercise.
3...Push-Ups...3 sets of 15 reputitions...(30 sec rest in between)
Keep your body in a straight line, rest your weight on your toes and palms and place your hands directly beneath your shoulders. Lower your body until your arms create a 90-degree angle. Push up with your arms to return to the start position. Vary the type of push-ups you do by moving your arms wider apart, closer to your ribcage, lifting one arm during the exercise and doing the push-up in a very slow motion (count to four on the way down and the way up). Start on your knees for a modified version.
4...Bench Press...3 sets of 12 reputitions...(30 sec rest in between)
Lie on your back on a weight bench. The bench can be level, on a 45-degree incline or a 45-degree decline. Use a barbell or dumbbells and position the weights directly over your shoulders. Your upper arms should be parallel to the floor with a 90-degree angle at your elbows. Push the weights directly over your shoulder and slowly lower to the starting position.
Now let's work on the Boobies..Woot.. Woot.. *muah*

awesome thank you for posting this0

Awesome thread! Also, if you want to intensify your pushups, I recommend doing "step push-ups/floor flys"
Remain in push-up position and step to either side (alternate). Once you step out to a side, do a full push-up (don't half-@ss it), and go back to your center. Then go to the other side. I tire out a lot easier with these, but these are way better than doing standard push-ups!0 -
That looks great -I do a lot of those as is - they are definitely awesome!0
