THE COMPLETE GUIDE - CHEST Part three of six Free with your August Muscle & Fitness

Nothing radiates power, energy and good health like a broad, deep chest with flat, chiselled pecs. Setting aside its more obvious attributes (known in medical circles as secondary sexual characteristics), the chest is still a pretty wondrous part of the anatomy, housing as it does the heart, lungs and various other internal muscle groups designed to promote respiration and circulation.   Developing the pectorals will not only be aerobically beneficial, but your feeling of well-being will be greatly enhanced by your improved appearance.   Despite its great complexity, the chest is one of the easiest body parts to develop. A few efficient exercises, organised into a concise, effective programme, are all you need.
