Get Stronger with this 50 Minute Heavy Chest Workout. 

Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing 50 Minute Heavy Chest Workout. This workout is best done at the gym because we will be focusing primarily on barbell bench press.

Cardio Round 1…

For today’s cardio, we are going to be doing a 1 mile warmup run on the treadmill. As you progress, crank up the tempo by increasing the speed or incline. This is a great way to get your heart rate up and the blood flowing. If it is nice outside, feel free to substitute this with a 10 minute run outside instead. 

Circuit…

In today’s workout, we are going to be focusing on barbell bench press. We will be doing 8 sets which includes 4 heavy sets. This is range from 50% of your max to 85% of your max. As you get to the heavier sets, please use a spotter! 

After barbell bench press, we will then do a 4 round 4 exercise circuit to get our heart rate up and to work on muscle endurance. Take about a 30 second to a minute break after each round and drink plenty of water! 

Stretch

To end the workout, stretch out those muscles to prevent soreness and injury. Recovery is the most important part after working out, so make sure to take care of your body and it will take care of you. Stretch it out for a total of 10 – 15 minutes depending on how much time you have.
