The chest area is one of easist muscle groups for beginning bodybuilders to strengthen and develop. It consists of a large muscle (pectoralis major) to either side of breastbone and a smaller muscle (pectoralis minor) underneath. The pecs are relatively easy to develop in early stages simply because they can be trained intensively although care needs to be taken to work them from different angles to ensure full development.For beginners, three safe but effective exercises are recommended: 1. Incline dumbbell press - 3 sets of 10-15 reps. When you feel comfortable with mechanics involved in this exercise you can move on to using a barbell instead, remembering to maintain proper form. 2. Incline dumbbell flyes - 3 sets of 10-15 reps. Done properly, this exercise is good for inner and outer pecs.
