The speaker, Jeff Cavill, discusses the importance of targeting the lower chest area for muscle development and improvement. He emphasizes the importance of diet and nutrition in achieving a defined lower chest, and outlines eight different exercises that can help target this area more effectively.
The exercises he suggests include:
1. Dips: These exercises effectively target the lower chest because they involve movement of the arm in a specific direction.
2. Dip Plus: This variation of the dip exercise involves angling the body more appropriately to ensure the lower chest area is targeted more effectively.
3. Straight Bar Dip: This exercise involves leaning forward and hovering over a bar, which puts the arms in a position that effectively targets the lower chest.
4. Jack Hammer Push Down: This exercise, which is typically performed for the triceps, becomes an effective lower chest exercise when performed correctly.
5. Standing Cable LC Press: This exercise involves focusing on the elbow riding high and going low, and trying to make contact with the sternum.
6. Kneeling Express: This exercise involves getting a better stretch by allowing the arm to drift up even higher and get more separation on the chest muscle.
7. Decline Cable Dip: This exercise involves setting up a decline bench and sliding forward, which puts the body in a position that effectively targets the lower chest.
8. Inclined Twisting Push-Up: This exercise involves twisting the body away as the push-up is performed, creating a relative motion that effectively targets the lower chest.
Cavill emphasizes the importance of developing a good mind-muscle connection with the lower chest area and suggests aiming for great contractions one after the next. He also mentions the importance of not overlooking other areas when aiming for a complete physique.
