In the Gym

First, warm up the chest with a few sets of pushups:

The set-up: Start by lying flat on the floor face down, hands are shoulder width apart. Cross your ankles and bend your knees. Line up the neck and spine all the way down to your knees. A variation in the set-up would be to extend the legs straight so the weight is on your toes rather than your knees.

The movement: Exhale and push your body up extending the arms straight without locking the elbows. Tighten your abs, inhale and lower your body toward the floor, bending from the elbows and bringing the chest almost to the floor. Repeat 12 to 15 times.

Then do three sets of each of the following exercises. Be sure to adjust the suggested weights based on your personal ability.

Smith Machine Incline Press

The set-up: Set an incline bench with an angle of 30 degrees or less inside a Smith machine. Place one 5 to10 pound plate on each side of the machine. Lie face up on the bench. Grasping the bar, unlock it and extend your arms so the bar is just above armpits.

The movement: Press the handles upward until your arms are fully extended. Squeeze the chest at the top of the movement and slowly lower to start position.

Cable-Crossovers

The set-up: Attach handles to the high pulleys on the cable machine. Place the pin on 15 pounds on each side. Stand in the center of the two pulleys, one leg in front of the other in a lunge position (front knee aligned with the front ankle). Tilt the torso forward slightly and make sure to keep your chest up, shoulders down and elbows slightly bent. Begin with your arms extended, parallel to the floor.

The movement: Pull the handles toward your chest as if you were about to wrap your arms around someone. Hold for a count of two and open the arms to start position. Repeat 15 to 20 times.
