In a recent article, I talked about the best chest workout for mass.

Although that goes over the best approach to build your chest muscle, I also agree that one of the best ways to build muscle in your chest is by working out your upper chest, more than any other muscle area.

Your upper chest is what makes up the most of the area of your chest, which is why it is vital not to ignore it.

And what I mean by that is you need to perform exercises that isolate your upper chest, this is, in my opinion, the best way to get great looking chest muscles.

The Right Chest Exercises

So now you know why it's important to build up your upper chest in order to get an overall strong chest. Now that you have that
information, you need to implement it with the right upper chest workout and the right exercises.
 
And there are two ways you can learn how to do that. One is to continue to read on where you will find the best upper chest
exercises.
 
And the second option, which will be much more effective is to check out The Muscle Maximizer. The Muscle Maximizer is a system where it will teach you the ropes about building muscle.

It is the most complete workout program of it's kind and many people have had great success with it. So if you want to not only build muscle in your chest, but you also want to transform your body, then you need to check out The Muscle Maximizer. But if you just want a few exercises to start with, read on.

My Upper Chest Workout For Building Lean Chest Muscles 

The first exercise is recommended by many people and for good reason; it is by far the best exercise for your upper chest.
 
Incline Dumbbell Press 
 
The best way to perform these is on a weight bench, but you can practically perform these on any stable surface. You perform these just like a regular bench press, but you are using dumbbells. 
 
Hammer Grip Incline Dumbbell Press  
 
You perform these just like you were to perform the exercise mentioned above, but the way you hold the dumbbells is twisted.  
 
Flys  
 
These are an overall great exercise for your chest, that I love. 
 
Incline Dumbbell Flys  
 
These are the same as regular fly's except your body is at an incline. 
 
Conclusion  
 
These are my favorite and they are very effective. You can implement this workout when you perform your chest day or you can pick a few  of these exercises to incorporate into your workout. Either way, these exercises are some of the best.
 
Although if you want a complete workout so you can build the most muscle in the fastest time, you need to check out The Muscle Maximizer. It is much more than just a fitness program, because it also goes in depth about the diet to build lean muscle.

In a world where most people are trying to lose weight, rather than gain it, it sometimes can be hard to find how to actually do it.

But if you are on a mission to find out how, I think this article will give you some insight on how to do just that.

 Most of it will do mostly with your diet because I believe the best way to gain weight or muscle is through your diet.

This also goes for losing weight also, but we won't be getting into that.


The Healing Process

But you also have to recognize that you also have to workout, with the right exercises also. This is one thing that most people get wrong. They don't seem to workout that right way because they don't allow their muscle to heal properly.
 
It is not necessary to workout a muscle group more than once a week. Your muscles are still healing even after a week of working them out.
 
So if you workout a muscle group more than you should, your muscles actually lose mass because they are not healing, and you are just breaking them down every time you workout. This can lead to serious injury if you aren't careful.

To get around this, you should implement a workout regiment that follows this advice. One program that I recommend you check out is The Muscle Maximizer. This  is a course to show you the do and don'ts when it comes to building muscle and it will show you how to gain weight fast. So check it out and see if it's right  for you.

How To Gain Weight Fast

As I mentioned before your diet is the fastest way to gain weight, period. So let me show you a sample diet plan that I personally use when I'm trying to gain weight.

Sample Diet Plan
 
Morning
 
Cereal w/ whole milk
Five scrambled eggs
Wheat toast
Glass of orange juice

Three Hours After Breakfast
 
Greek yogurt
Granola bar
Bagel with cream cheese
 
Lunch
 
Grilled chicken breast
Vegetable salad
Glass of milk 

Afternoon
 
Bagel with peanut butter
Glass of milk
 
Dinner
 
Steak with mashed potatoes
Green beans and corn
Glass of milk
 
Right Before Bed
 
Bowl of oatmeal
Glass of milk
Piece of cake or pie

A Reoccurring Theme

You probably noticed a reoccurring theme; it was the glass of milk. Well, milk is the most important thing when it comes to gaining weight. Drinking large amounts of milk will dramatically increase your weight gain and muscle gain.
 
Milk will increase your testosterone levels and other hormones that are vital to increase weight gain. Eggs are also important to
gain weight. You can either eat eggs for breakfast or you can spread them out across your day.

But just note that if you follow the milk and eggs advice that is about 80% of what will increase weight for you. The other 20% is just eating as much as you can. More advanced diet strategies can be found in The Muscle Maximizer also.
