1. Bench Press (3–4 sets, 8–10 reps)
Explanation: A fundamental compound exercise that builds overall chest mass and strength while engaging shoulders and triceps.
Tip: Keep your feet flat, back slightly arched, and control the bar slowly.
Warning: Always use a spotter for heavy lifts to avoid accidents.
2. Incline Dumbbell Press (3 sets, 10–12 reps)
Explanation: Targets the upper chest and gives more definition to the chest muscles.
Tip: Maintain a controlled motion, don’t let dumbbells touch at the top.
Warning: Don’t overstretch at the bottom to protect your shoulder joints.
3. Chest Flys (3 sets, 12–15 reps)
Explanation: Isolates the chest muscles, enhancing stretch and contraction for muscle growth.
Tip: Use moderate weights and keep a slight bend in your elbows.
Warning: Avoid going too wide—this can strain the shoulders.
4. Tricep Dips (3 sets, 8–12 reps)
Explanation: Strengthens triceps and secondary chest activation.
Tip: Lean slightly forward for chest focus, stay upright for more tricep activation.
Warning: Avoid dipping too low; this may stress your shoulders.
5. Tricep Pushdowns (3 sets, 10–12 reps)
Explanation: Isolates the triceps for definition and finishing strength.
Tip: Keep elbows tucked in; push down fully and squeeze.
Warning: Don’t swing or use momentum—keep movements controlled.
Warm-Up & Cool-Down
Warm-up: 5–10 minutes light cardio + dynamic stretches.
Cool-down: Chest and tricep stretches to improve flexibility and reduce soreness.
General Warning
Don’t overload with heavy weights on your first day.
Prioritize form over weight to avoid injury.
Listen to your body—if pain (not soreness) occurs, stop immediately.
