How to Build Muscular Pecs Today

By Frank Hommes

Many guys wish they had large, muscular pecs that will impress everyone that sees them. While that wish could be a reality, it may also prove to be very difficult, especially if you aren't properly informed. The reason for this, is because there are a lot of errors that can easily be made. Here are some of these errors and what you can do to help avoid them.

1. The first blunder that a lot of guys make is simply overworking themselves. They think that the sure way to build up their pecs is just to lift as much as they can as quickly as they can. However, the truth is that this provides very little results and may actually do more harm to your body than good.

As in all things, moderation is the key. Remember that it's more about the quality of the workout than the quantity. Generally, it's better to do more reps than it is to add more resistance, but doing too many reps can also be bad for you.

2. The second common mistake that stops people from getting muscular pecs is focusing entirely on bench pressing. Some people will tell you that bench pressing is the foundation for building the pecs, but this is blatantly untrue.

Bench pressing builds the whole upper body, so trying to focus in on just the pecs is nearly impossible with this exercise. Including flys and inclined bench presses can help to isolate the pecs and really bulk them up.

3. A third common blunder that's often made, has to do with an individual's diet. Some guys don't realize that their diet may be preventing them from building up their muscles the way they should. A diet that is rich in proteins is very essential if you plan to build up your muscle mass and achieve strong pecs.

4. The last mistake but the most common is not to follow a proven training program.
