Grow Your Chest At Home: The BEST Home Chest Workout For Growth (NO EQUIPMENT)

In today’s video, we’ll go through a home chest workout that’ll teach you how to build a bigger chest at home. Most people are under the impression that they can’t pack on much chest size with just bodyweight chest exercises. But the truth is that you can build an impressive looking chest with just bodyweight training. Admittedly, most home chest workouts fail. Most people fail to see results with them. But that’s because they either don’t progress the home chest workouts in a way that enables them to continue maximizing their chest growth over time, or they’ll fail to incorporate exercises for chest that target the different regions of their chest. In this workout though, I’ll show you how to achieve both of those.

The first of the exercises for chest we’ll be using will target the whole chest and will be the close grip push-up, which you can perform either by just using a narrow grip or a diamond set up, depending on what’s most comfortable for you. Next, we’re going to incorporate more shoulder flexion into the previous push-up to now shift more emphasis to the upper chest. This is called the incline bench press. You can perform this by simply elevating your feet onto a platform. An alternative to this though are wide reverse grip push-ups, where you instead use a wide underhand grip to hold onto an elevated platform, and then perform your push-up against that.

Next, we’re going to move onto dip push-ups, one of the best bodyweight chest exercises, to now target the lower chest by incorporating more. We want to include some form of dip movement into this routine since they’ve been shown to best activate the lower chest. Then, it’s time to incorporate the inner chest push-up, which will enable us to emphasize the inner chest a little more, which is difficult to do with standard push-ups since we can’t actually get our arms across our body to fully contract the chest through horizontal adduction. But we can do so with this exercise by getting into the standard push-up position and then elevating one of your hands onto a platform.

And lastly, we’re going work the whole chest here. Be sure to use the Sliding Chest Flies as a sort of burnout in your home chest workouts. Think of them like cable flies in the gym, for example. An alternative though are bed sheet flies, where we use the setup I presented in my full body home workout video by tying two knots together and throwing them over a door. For these, wrap the bed sheets around your hands and then you can perform the same fly movement I presented by spreading your arms out while letting your body fall forward, and then bringing your arms back inward by squeezing that chest to bring your body back up.

So to sum the video up, here’s what your home chest workout could look like:

Close Grip Push-Ups: 3-4 sets
Decline Close Grip Push-Ups OR Wide Reverse Grip Push-Ups: 3-4 sets
Dip Push-Ups: 3-4 sets
Inner Chest Push-Ups: 2-3 sets
Sliding Chest Flies OR Bed Sheet Flies: 2-3 sets

I’d recommend instead splitting the exercises up into at least 2 days throughout the week using an upper/lower split for example in order to better manage the training volume and frequency. As for the ideal rep range, again as I emphasized in my past full body home workout video, the ideal rep range will vary for everyone based on your strength level. Simply focus on pushing every single set either to failure or within a rep or two short of failure. But all in all, by using this routine and gradually progressing each exercise as you get stronger, you’ll be able to effectively build your chest in the comfort of your own home. That’s it. You now know how to build a bigger chest at home.

Just keep in mind though guys that for the best results, you need to pair your workout routine with the right nutrition plan as THAT really is the key and is FAR more important than your training when it comes to drastically transforming your body and packing on size. To be honest, now is a better time than ever to start prioritizing your nutrition and learning how and what you need to be fueling your body with to maximize growth.
