The Chest Blaster Max

When starting any workout routine it is important to know what you are getting yourself into. Proper nutrition and rest is just as big a part in exercise routines as the actually routine itself.

If you want to build a lot of muscle mass, you should be eating a lot of protein. Eating protein will give you energy to exercise and it will repair torn muscle by adding more muscle mass.

You will want to get a hefty amount of complex carbohydrates; these are going to give you lasting energy throughout the day. Carbohydrates also give your brain energy; so if you are feeling lethargic in the head it is probably because you have not got enough good carbohydrates.

Also give your body adequate time to rest and repair. This will greatly increase the quality of your exercise routine.

By letting your muscles recuperate you can work them harder the next time you exercise; this will lead to faster muscle development than it would if you were not giving your muscles a break. So make sure to get the proper amount of rest and nutrients when starting any exercise routine, especially the chest blaster max.

This routine is made of four different exercises: two compound exercises and two isolation exercises. As you may have guessed they are based around the pectoral muscles.

For the two compound exercises you will be performing the bench press and the decline bench press. A compound exercise is any weight lifting exercise that incorporates more than one joint in the workout.

A good example of a compound exercise is the squat: you bend at the knees, the hips, and the ankles; this works your back, your thighs, your calf muscles, and an array of other muscles. These are the best way to build weight and muscle mass.

So first do the bench press, choose a weight were you can comfortably perform ten to twelve reps before failure. Do five sets of these with a forty five second rest in between each set.

Next, move to the pec-dec machine. This is where you perform your first isolation exercise.

Isolation exercise is where you only move one joint; these are great for targeting specific muscles and toning your body to perfection.

Do two to three sets on the pec-dec with slow cadence. Meaning, the release of the exercise is as slow as you went into it.

Now go to your decline dumbbell bench press. Try to do four to five sets of these.

These are important to make sure you are working both arms evenly. After those go to the cable cross over to finish it all off.

This exercise can be done within thirty minutes which makes it ideal for a quick filler routine.
