Hello everyone and welcome to the second Q&A session on Sound Body Fitness!
Last time I answered some questions about Abs, Whey Protein, and Equiptment. There is a lot of really good information you don't want to miss out on, so if you missed it, you can check it out here: Q & A #1: Abs, Whey Protein, Equiptment
With that said, let's get into this weeks Q & A!
A: There are quite a few chest workouts you can do to really isolate your pectorals: Incline bench press paired with decline bench press, dumbbell press, pushups (any pushup variation in general is great), cable cross overs.
When doing the exercises, stick to low reps with max weight: Do 3 sets of the max weight you can handle while maintaining the proper form for 8-10 reps of each to achieve maximum results. (You can find youtube videos for proper form on the exercise to ensure your are working the muscle to it's full potential)
Abs are a tricky thing. For your abs, I highly recommend trying out ab ripper x or x2 ab ripper from the P90X workout program. Just remember, Getting defined abs is about building up the abdominal muscles AND getting your overall body fat % down to around ≦10% for men and ≦17% for women. Keep in mind that body fat % calculations aren't all that accurate and results can vary quite a bit day to day so you shouldn't stress about your number. The goal is to decrease your overall body fat % through exercise and healthy eating while incorporating a good core workout. If you incorporate an ab workout like ab ripper and even some cardio 2 or 3 times a week, you should see results. Also, while doing any exercises like these, always concentrate on really engaging your abdominal muscles to achieve maximum results.
Just remember any kind of progress takes time. If you are doing a workout that consistently challenges you and you maintain a decent diet then you will see results in time.
Hope this helps
