Try Basic Boot Camp Moves to Rip Your Chest and Back

If you're someone that goes to the gym every day, you're going to know exactly what I'm talking about. How many people do you see doing push-ups in the gym? Well, usually none. Guys are always doing bench-press or using some sort of machine to build the chest. It's almost the same with pull-ups, but not as extreme. You will occasionally see a few guys busting out some wide grip pull-ups, but again, it's pretty rare. So what the heck has happened to these traditional exercises to develop the chest and back? People believe they aren't as effective, but I'm here to say otherwise!

First, though, I have to go back in time to when I was playing college baseball. I was one of those guys who went to the gym every day, and relied solely on bench press exercises and machines to build the chest and back muscles. However, after a while I noticed that I hit a plateau, and couldn't get any more definition in my chest or back, but I was stubborn and continued to do the same old routine. It wasn't until I graduated college and got a desk job when I realized that I really wanted to find something that would get me into the best shape possible and get me ripped. That was when I started a basic boot camp a program that relies mostly on push-ups and pull-ups to develop the chest and back muscle groups. However, before I began the program I was a skeptic. How in the world could it be possible to get a ripped chest and back from push-ups or pull-ups? I mean, you're kidding right? Nope.

I was one of those guys who would maybe do 1 set of pull-ups every two months. So what did I do to develop my back? Well, I would do lawn mowers, but never really got anything out of them because I wasn't trained properly on how to use correct form. I would also use the lat-pull-down machine, but that only got me so far. Really, I have never had definition in my back until I changed my approach to back development.

Pull-ups are amazing as an exercise to develop the back. In fact, with the program I follow you are doing 2 days of the week pull-up training. And these aren't regular pull-ups. Sure, there are some that people are familiar with, but many of them are super unique, each developing a certain muscle in the back. As much as I hated doing the pull-ups, I knew it was what I needed to do in order to reach my goal of a ripped back. The first workout was tough for me, and I could only get a max of 8 reps for each exercise during the first half. What about the second half? Ha, forget it. I could only do maybe 1 or 2 reps for each exercise. As each week passed, I noticed that my back got stronger and stronger, until I reached the point where I was busting out 15-20 reps for each exercise!

Then there are the push-ups. Oh boy, that first workout, Chest ... Back, nearly put an end to me! It involves doing nothing but non-stop push-ups and pull-ups for about 45 minutes. After I got through the half-way mark, I seriously thought I was going to pass out. My arms felt like jello from doing all those push-ups, and I could only do 2-3 push-ups for each remaining exercise. After a few weeks of doing that workout, I was already seeing changes in my chest that I have never noticed before! At the end of my 90 days, my chest was more developed than it has ever been.

Please join me in getting into the best shape of your life. I'm a big believer in a traditional pull up and push up program. Also I'm looking to try out a new super high boot camp program and will report on that once I get through it.
