Q&A for How to Work Out Chest Muscles without Weights

Body building at the age of 12 is not highly recommended since your bones are still growing. Eat a healthy diet of whole natural foods like vegetables, fruit, whole grains and lean protein. Avoid sugar and drink lots of water. Consider discussing your bodybuilding plans with a doctor to be sure that this is a safe choice for you and your body.

Concentration curls put no strain on the back. From a seated position, holding a dumbbell in one hand, lean forward resting the elbow on a padded surface. For instance, sit on a stool at a kitchen table or desk. Place a rolled up towel under the elbow. Lower and raise the dumbbell just like in a standard bicep curl. If you are tall, then this might work better just seated in a regular chair with the elbow resting on a table or desk.

The bench press, dumbbell pec flye and push ups all work the pectoral muscles of the chest. It requires heavy resistance to build muscle size.

Aim for two to three sets of 20 push ups and keep your body fat down to get the ripped look.

Most body builders and trainers would say that the bench press is the main pectoral building exercise.

Push ups, bench presses and the pec flye are the major chest exercises you may wish to consider.

Make working out a part of your regular routine, but work out different muscle groups on different days to give your body time to rest and recover. Eat a diet high in protein and avoid processed foods.

Do bench presses or chest curls.

Do push-ups and wall presses for your arms, and sit ups and crunches for your abdominal muscles. But don't overdo it, otherwise your muscles will get strained and sore.

Yes, but working your abs with sit-ups and crunches is necessary as well. Cardio is the best way to get your abs, because a lot of people already have abs, but they're covered by fat. Try to do both: running and sit-ups/crunches.

You would need to either do push ups or use weights as these are the best chest exercises. If you cannot do full push ups, try doing them with your knees on the ground until you build up the strength to do regular push ups.

Contact a doctor immediately, assuming you are 10 or older. You are severely underweight and need professional help getting to a healthy weight.

It's not really possible to decrease the fat in just one area, so you would have to reduce your whole body's fat percentage. Cardio, along with a healthy diet, is the best way to do this.

You should work out 4-5 days a week to build muscle and reduce fat. Alternate muscle groups so you are not using the same muscles every day and you get a full body workout.

Try lifting weights, or doing bench press every now and then, with limitations.

With the right amount of protein shake and a suitable, healthy meal plan, it is safe to use. Just remember to drink a lot of water.

Wait till the age of 20 years. If you still suffer from pseudogynaecomastia at that age, consider surgery. Consult with your doctor and do your research before deciding what to do next.

You should ask your doctor, to make sure that your growth plates are developed enough that using weights won't damage them.

Push ups are the best. Start by doing 3 sets of low reps, then gradually decrease speed, increase reps, and increase sets day by day.

Push ups and dips. For the push ups, try to keep you hands as close together as possible to work your triceps.

Check out the Paul Wade Convict Conditioning book. There is a chapter dedicated to abs; follow steps 1 to 3. I made a sixpack with these and an improved diet.

Yes, but they take quite a bit of time. If you do bench presses or dips along with a diet, the results will be quicker.

You could do a little bit of light cardio, like ten minutes on the treadmill, along with five to ten minutes of stretching. Stretching is very important as it helps you avoid injuries.

You should drink 1-2 glasses of water (8-16 oz.) about half an hour before your workout. Don't drink water any closer to your workout than that or you could get cramps.

Yes, your muscles will develop. However, you should allow 48 hours for any muscle group to rest before exercising it again.

Any kind of protein is useful for weight gain because it helps you gain muscle instead of fat by helping your muscles rebuild themselves to be bigger and stronger.

You won’t see results the first time or maybe even the first week or two you do it. Take your time and have the right mindset when exercising.

It's like a regular push-up, but against a wall. The incline push-up in the article is what a wall press is, but against a wall.

Push yourself just far enough that it's still fun, and always stop before it hurts. As a guideline, try starting with 3 sets of 12 push-ups every day for 1 week. Do 36 every day, no more no less, for one week and see how you feel. Was it way too hard? Too easy? Adapt as you like.

You would need to reduce your entire body fat percentage overall. Cardio workouts, such as running, will burn off fat for your whole body. It's hard to target a single area to burn fat.
