Side weights: Exercises to strengthen the upper chest
In the above body training exercises, the incline dumbbell press is recommended by fitness experts because of its ability to deeply impact the upper part of the large chest muscle - the muscle area that is often underdeveloped in practitioners.
Fitness trainer Yash Agarwal, currently working at Fitness First Center in Mumbai (India), said: Tged weights are an extremely effective exercise to improve the shape and strength of the upper chest. Adjusting the side chairs from 15 to 30 degrees helps direct the force to the right area of the muscles that need to be developed, while supporting increased shoulder stability.
Not only does this exercise provide aesthetic benefits such as helping to tone and fill the chest, it also helps improve posture, especially in people with round shoulders due to sitting for long periods of time or working with a computer. Supportive muscle groups such as the front Delta and triplicate muscles are also activated strongly, contributing to building a comprehensive body balance.
Be careful with people with shoulder injuries
However, not everyone should do sideways weightlifting without instructions. Dr. Edward Laskowski, co-director of the Center for Sports Medicine at the Mayo Clinic (USA), recommends: This exercise puts pressure on the front Delta muscles, so people with a history of shoulder injury or limited shoulder joint movement should consider carefully before performing it.
He also emphasized the importance of techniques: The tilt angle of the seat should not exceed 45 degrees because it can cause too much strength, reducing the effectiveness of chest exercise and increasing the risk of joint pain. The beginner should choose a light weight, maintain movement control and do not lock the elbow when pushing the weight.
Compared to flat weights that focus on the middle of the chest, weightlifting leans towards developing the upper chest and improving your figure when wearing a hammock or sportswear. bodybuilding is not just about lifting heavy weights, but about lifting properly and accurately. Swing weights are a typical example of that, added coach Yash Agarwal.
