Increasing Chest Cleavage - Add Size & Fullness To Your Pecs

Having a nice toned line down the center of your chest is not only a woman's goal anymore. Also known as cleavage, you need to work from the inside and outside for this goal to come to full fruition. Many men want a nice line down the middle of their pecs making the ab line even more accentuated as they meet. The cleavage line makes the pecs look more muscular and full in muscle and less like fatty chest boobs, especially for men!

Being leaner is the main idea, making sure you eat a proper diet with decreased carbs (starches such as potato, breads and refined flour products), increased good fats such as the omegas (flax, fish oil and fresh fish, olives) and lots of proteins (lean choices such as poultry, fish and egg whites) with dark green vegetables such as spinach, collard and mustard greens, and broccoli. You do want some carbs such as oatmeal and quinoa added to your diet.

Water is crucial at about 2 liters per day and avoiding sugar, fruits and dairy will help you with your leaning goal. Salt should also be eliminated as it too sits under the skin making you look less toned and softer. Even diet soda should be limited.

You won't really be able to see all the sculpting work you do if you have a layer of body fat covering over it, even if it is a thinner layer of fat. You don't have to be over weight to have to decrease body fat in order to show more prominent tone.

The exercises you choose on chest day will make a different on this line cutting. You will want to hit your chest twice per week utilizing exercises such as pec dec, fly, and deep pushups. You want to make sure you work full range of motion and really flexing on the end of the push portion.

Using the decline and incline options are also my suggestion to really finish off this type of particular sculpting. Cardio is another portion and HIT training maybe the best choice here for 3 times per week.

For your exercise variables I would suggest 15-30 reps at a lighter weight for an average of 3 sets.

A sample idea for this would be to add the below to your present training, so you would hit back, arms and legs on other days.

Chest day 1 for your week would be 3 sets of 15-20 with light weight on pec DEC, flies then ending with deep pushups. Follow this short workout spurt with some cardio including cross trainer which uses arms while legs move.

Chest day 2 would cover lower cable crosses then upper cable crosses, incline fly followed by decline fly. On the other days you would leave the chest alone and work the other muscle groups instead, giving your chest a day or 2 in between these 2 chest days. My suggestion would be to go for the 2 days break and working other muscles for the days I between or adding a day off.
