P90X Chest, Shoulders and Triceps Workout

P90X includes workouts that stretch your muscles, workouts that improve your balance, workouts that improve your cardio and, most importantly, workouts that build good, lean, healthy muscle.  Today, we’ll be discussing one of those muscle building and toning workouts, the tenth P90X workout: Chest, Shoulders and Trecips.

The first thing that you need to know about this workout is that it is hard! Many users who have written P90X reviews have said that this feels like the longest workout in the set (even though it’s not actually any longer than any other workout!). What will make it feel so exhausting it that you’re working a very limited number of muscles in your chest, shoulders and triceps repeatedly. For the ladies out there who always wanted to firm up that problematic tricep area – this is the workout for you!


This workout uses weights, and the most important thing for you to keep in mind is that heavier weights are not always better. What is important is that you focus on doing the moves using correct form. You shouldn’t overextend or over lift. If you need to use lighter weights in order to maintain correct form on the exercises, then by all means do. Your goal here is the end result of perfectly toned and ripped arms. The goal is not to be the person in your living room using the heaviest weights possible!


You’ll also find yourself doing no shortage of exercises that rely on your body weight in this routine. You may be surprised how much harder it can be to lift yourself against your own body weight than it is to use an actual set of weights!


This workout is packed with a ton of exercises, including all of the following:


-         Slow Motion 3-in-1 Pushups


-         In and Out Shoulder Flies


-         Chair Dips


-         Plange Push-ups


-         Pike Press


-         Side Tri-Rise


-         Floor Flies


-         Scarecrows


-         Overhead Tricep Extensions

Chest and Shoulder Workouts For Building Muscle Fast

This is one of the best workouts for building maximum muscle mass to your pecs and delts. Chest and shoulder training are closely related as they both tend to involve some sort of pushing exercise or flye. 

When it comes to training the chest, the king of all exercises is the bench press. This pushing exercise hits the largest area of your chest muscles and also works your shoulders and triceps as secondary muscles.

There are 3 main types of bench press movements, incline, decline and flat. They can be done with a barbell or dumbbells. Personally i like to use dumbbells because it allows for a greater stretch of the muscles and you don't often need a spotter.

For the shoulders the best exercise for overall development is the barbell or dumbbell shoulder press. Heavy shoulder presses are key to building muscle on the front of your deltoids. You chest and shoulder workouts should include some form of shoulder press.

There are 2 chest and shoulder workouts that i want to share with you. Both are demonstrated on the videos below. They can be done as a standalone workout or as a post workout blitz to truly burn the muscles.

They can be done on separate days or if you can handle it then you can do them both on the same day. By adding the two together you will get an amazing pump feeling in the chest and shoulders and will no doubt ache for a few days after.
