4 Workout To Get a Superman Chest.




Getting a chest that looks like the Superman superhero involves utilizing a variety of chest exercises, such as the pushup, which defines, tones and enlarges your chest muscles. A developed chest often makes your waist appear smaller, particularly if you simultaneously gain muscle while losing excess body fat through healthy eating and aerobic exercise.

• Strategies:

A superman chest workout involves more than just one exercise. Your chest muscle is not just one singular muscle, but a group of muscles that work together. When designing a chest workout, select exercises that work your pectoralis major and minor muscles, as well as your rotator cuff.



The pectoral muscles cover the upper part of your chest, with the pectoralis major muscle sitting on top of the pectoralis minor muscle. Your rotator cuff functions to hold the bones in your upper arm into your shoulder.

1- Planks and Pushups:

Both planks and pushups focus on your chest muscles, and each has the added benefit of strengthening your core. Perform pushups on the floor or by utilizing a stability ball. When you perform your pushups with a stability ball, the instability of the ball makes the pushup more challenging. Place your hands on either side of the ball, and push your body away from and back toward the ball. Plank exercises involve holding your body in a straight line with only your hands and toes coming into contact with the floor. Set a goal of holding the plank position for 60 to 90 seconds. Use a stability ball to perform planks for increased difficulty.


2- Dumbbell and Seated Flys:

Dumbbell and seated flys both work your chest muscles. Lay down on a weight bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Extend your arms away from your body, keeping your elbows almost locked. Lower the dumbbells a few inches toward the floor, then lift your hands in the air, bringing them close together. Use a machine fly to perform a seated fly. Put your hands directly in back of the pads on the machine, then push your hands together causing the pads to meet. Control the movement back to your original starting position.




3- Barbell Incline Bench Press:

The bench press builds up your pectoralis major and upper chest muscles, giving you the well-built superman chest. Begin with lighter barbells and work your way up to heavy weights. Lay back on the incline bench. Using a wide overhand grip, lift the barbell from the rack. Lower the barbell to your chest, then lift in a smooth motion until your arms are completely extended. Repeat the exercise according to your workout plan.


4- Dip Variations:

Dips and their variations work all of your chest muscles, including both pectoralis muscles. In the beginning, you may need to use a dip assist machine, rather than parallel bars, as this chest-building exercise takes strength you may not yet possess. Once you can perform dips on the dip assist machine, move to the parallel bars. Suspend yourself in midair with your elbows locked and hands grasping the parallel bar. Slowly lower yourself toward the ground by bending your elbows. Keep your feet off the ground, and lift yourself back to your starting position. Add a weight belt to make the dip more challenging.
