Looking to have a stronger, larger chest? If you are a gym owner purchasing equipment, a fitness distributor, or are simply someone who likes to lift weights, here is how to train your chest the right way, without the fancy fluff and proper terminology!

1. Only Do the Basics 
Your chest muscles (pectoralis) will respond best to basic, traditional movements. Start with push-ups; they are free and use your entire chest. If you are going to a gym or a personal home gym, the bench press using a barbell or dumbbells is essential. The bench is adjustable, but when flat, this effectively works the middle chest, if the bench is inclined (tilt towards the sky), this effectively works the upper chest, and if it is declined (tilt towards the ground), this effectively works the lower chest.

2. Control Your Movements  
The goal in working out is not to simply lift heavy weights as fast as you can. Slow down! You should be lowering the weight for 3 seconds, and pushing the weight up as fast as you can, or 1 second. Physically lowering your weight this way keeps your chest muscles and pectoralis engaged and active not your shoulders or arms. Always make it a point to lower your arms totally to the bottom and squeeze your chest at the top.

3. Appropriate Equipment  
Adjustable benches: this allows your users to train multiple areas of the chest easily. When you are focusing on adjustable benches, look for benches that are sturdy and easy to adjust (the easiest configuration for a gym!).  
Dumbbells: Dumbbells are a great choice for chest flys (lying on the bench for flat, incline or decline).

4. General Advice

Gym Owners:  Purchase equipment that will last. Invest in equipment like heavy duty benches or dumbbells with thick grips. A happy member will stick around!

Sellers:  Focus on versatile equipment (incline/flat/decline benches don't take up much space). Your customers will appreciate the flexibility.

Home Fitness Users:  No gym?  No problem.  Adjustable dumbbells or resistance bands are a great substitute.  You can perform push-ups on chairs to achieve a deeper chest workout.

Final Thoughts 
Building a strong chest may take some time. Just remember to train the chest muscle 2-3 times a week, eat enough protein, and rest. Finally, if you are purchasing equipment for a gym, or for yourself, buy equipment that will grow with you!
