A really deep, well develop chest muscle is
one of the most important requirement in a bodybuilder's physique. To
achieve this requires training with a variety of exercises - to develop
the upper and lower pectorals, the inside and outside pectorals, and the
tie-ins to the deltoids, and to expand the entire rib cage to show off
the pectoral muscles to their advantage.
But perfecting the chest muscle is more
difficult than many bodybuilders believe. You can have a huge rib cage, thick pectoral muscles, but this will not guarantee a perfect
chest. Chest perfection, especially if you are interested in
competition, involves the following :
1. A great rib cage
2. Thick pectoral (chest) muscles
3. Development of the inside, outside,
upper, and lower areas of the pectorals (chest muscles).
4. Visible striations when the
pectorals are flexed, such as in a most muscular shot, with the
striations showing from the middle of the rib cage all the way across
and from top to bottom.
5. A clear separation of upper and
lower pectorals
6. A shape that gives a nice square
look, achieved by a lot of upper pectoral development, rather than one
in which the chest muscle seems simply to be hanging down.
7. Sufficient development so that the
pectorals don't totally disappear when you lift your arms over your head
or do a front double biceps shot.
