If you are looking to develop a muscle-defined chest, then you may want to consider isometric chest exercises rather than normal push-ups and bench presses.

To get the best results from your Isometric Pec workout, you should consider using an isometric exercise device, resistance bands, or free weights. In this article I will show you a simple freehand isometric exercise.

However, if you can afford to spend a few dollars … in the long run, an Isometric Exerciser will allow you to become stronger than simply using your body weight.

As with any exercise program, it’s best to check with your doctor before starting. As mentioned above, the most effective exercises to strengthen your chest are isometric chest exercises. They are easy to perform and only take a few seconds.

Doing isometric exercises will not only give you phenomenal results, it will also be fun.

Here is an example of an isometric chest exercise

1. In a standing position, place your feet in an ellipse at approximately hip distance with your toes pointing forward.

2. Slightly bend your knees.

3. Bring both hands to the center of your chest approximately where your breastbone is.

4. Place your right fist in the palm of your left hand. The fingers of the left hand will then pass through the knuckles on the right hand.

5. Keep your elbows out and away from your chest.

6. Begin pushing in slowly using the same amount of resistance with each hand. Intensely squeeze your chest muscles as hard as possible while doing this exercise.

7. Don’t hold your breath … in fact, read it before doing the exercise and exhale while applying the resistance (exhale while you are actually doing the exercise).

8. Continue pushing in and hold for 10-10 seconds.

9. Release tension and relax. Wait approximately 30 seconds to a minute and then repeat the exercise.

This exercise is just as effective as doing push-ups. Try it for the next 30 days and you will see remarkable results. Before you start using this isometric exercise, take a test drive.

Get down on the floor and see how many push-ups you can do. Record this number somewhere and then start doing your isometric training every day, five days a week using a 7-10 second hold. At the end of 30 days, go back and see how many push-ups you can do and you will find that you will be able to do a lot more than you did the first time.
