Instructions

      Exercise on a Smith machine incline bench press first. The Smith machine will allow you to target the muscles in your upper pectoral area. Targeting this area first is important because it becomes hard to work the upper pectorals once you do other exercises that exhaust the other muscles in the chest.

      Execute the barbell bench press. Make sure that you are concentrating on the chest with every lift so that you are getting the most out of the exercise. Use an amount of weight that you are comfortable with, as opposed to something that is too heavy, or too light, for you. The movements during this exercise should be steady and controlled.

      Execute a set of dumbbell flys, which will help to work your outer pectoral muscles. Focus on using your chest to lower the weight while keeping your elbows bent for the best results.
