An equipment-based workout is very useful when it comes to strengthening and toning the pectoral muscles. Especially for club and endurance athletes, chest work-out is an important part of the training plan. There are very specifically designed strength machines for the chest, with which you can address the different muscle groups and chest areas, such as the chest press, the butterfly, the bench press machine or even the special device for pull-over.
The chest press or bench press machine
This strength equipment for the chest is used specifically to train the large chest muscles as well as the arms and shoulders. This power machine is mostly used as an alternative for the free bench press.
Butterfly for the pectoral muscle
Another strength machine for the chest is the butterfly, which is used to train the large pectoral muscle (musculus pectroalis major) and also the front part of the shoulder muscle at the same time.
Crossover
The cable pull tower, as the crossover is also called, is another piece of equipment for the chest. With this machine you can not only train the chest muscles, but this can also be used for a full body workout, because here you also train the biceps, triceps, back, shoulders, abdominals, legs and forearms.
Pull-Over: the pull-over machine
The large pectoral muscle and the saw muscle can be particularly strongly stressed by training on the pull-over machine or by pull-over training. In addition, the broad back muscle is also used concomitantly and thus trained.
Buy strength equipment for the chest
Before buying, you should consider whether you really want to train two or three times a week at least at home. Only if this results in a clear "yes", it is recommended to buy strength equipment for the chest.
The following points should be taken into account:
- In advance, it is necessary to clarify how much space you have available, and not only for the strength equipment for the chest, but also for the execution.
- In addition, one should inform oneself sufficiently about all devices and test these also in the apron. It is essential to make sure that the seat and the pads are individually adjustable. The pulling, pushing and lifting devices should also be thoroughly tested and scrutinized. It is important to have the full exercise travel available when performing the exercise. For example, the cable pull should not have too much slack, and the weight stack should not slow down prematurely.
- All instructions should be easy to read in the manual and also the descriptions should be listed so that you can easily implement everything in the training.
The variety of strength equipment for the chest
Not only the strength equipment for the chest, which were named above, allow an effective chest training, but there are also strength equipment for the chest, which allow to perform several exercises specifically for the chest. This has the advantage that you only have to buy one piece of strength equipment. In order to have an effective workout, one should perform the different exercises.
But before you buy such a strength equipment, you should inform yourself in detail and this is best in a specialty store. Because there you get a detailed consultation and you can also examine the individual devices. In addition, you can see what training options you have with the respective strength equipment for the chest. Furthermore, it is also possible to pay attention to the quality of workmanship and thus check whether the workmanship is of high quality.
In addition, you should also supplement or alternatively inform yourself in other places about the strength equipment for the chest. This can be test reports or Internet forums, but even a professional trainer of a gym can be helpful to choose the right strength equipment. This is all important in order not to make a wrong decision, so that ultimately after a few weeks the device collects dust in the corner.
