Chest Expansion (2026/132)

Are you of a certain age which would remember "chest expanders" - sets of springs where the force required to pull them apart tends to increase as the movement continues? You don't see them much any more, but a similar principle applies when using a barbell to which chains are attached - the higher you lift, the heavier you are lifting.  Of course, the so-called "chest" expanders actually worked the read deltoids, triceps and upper back!  Anyway, a post today dedicated to the chest. Great examples of successful development (and maybe "expansion"!) along with some suitable exercises.     Targetting specific areas of the pectoral muscles: ...thanks to a Korean enthusiast for making that available. And in one of our final salutes to the rising generation, Norwegian athlete Oliver shows good form (not arching the back) when training correctly by starting with light weights for his bench press...

Never mind the swimwear - admire the contents. We've tried to choose the guys whose body image accords with our fitness and aesthetic ambitions. That was 1966 - interesting how styles have changed!
