The incline serves to target the upper chest, shoulders, and triceps\u00a0to a greater degree than the flat bench, and may also negate the urge to arch the back, potentially allowing for a greater stretch in the shoulders and upper chest due to the position of the torso.<\/p>\n<p>For his third and final chest specific exercise, the Classic Physique competitor moves on to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/chest-exercises\/build-strong-chest-strength-band-pec-flye\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pec-deck fly<\/a>, a machine that isolates the pecs via horizontal adduction. Vissers makes sure to hammer his point home about getting a full contraction and stretch, as he sets about building muscle by exhausting the chest muscle fibers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always like to train the side delts after doing some chest, because they\u2019re warmed up anyway, and you cannot ever have big enough side delts,\u201d says the big man of his affinity for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/exercise\/workouts\/shoulder-exercises\/cable-lateral-raise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cable lateral raise<\/a>, utilizing the cuff attachment to complete his reps. Then, sticking with cables, Vissers uses the cuff attachment once again to execute side triceps pushdowns. \u201cOne of my favorite motions,\u201d he shares, while\u00a0 taxing the lateral head. The medial head of the triceps is also recruited to stabilize the process.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Vissers throws in some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/exercise\/workouts\/arm-exercises\/seated-dumbbell-overhead-triceps-extension\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">overhead triceps extensions<\/a> to hit the long head of the triceps for a full sweep. By raising the arm overhead, the bodybuilder puts the long head into a deep stretch, just as Vissers envisioned.<\/p>\n<p>To try this session for yourself, go heavy and dig deep like The Dutch Oak, completing three sets for the warming up chest press, and then two sets to go all-in with each proceeding exercise. Aim for 8 to 12 reps per set and get ready for those chest, triceps, and shoulder gains.<\/p>\n<p>To follow Wesley Vissers on Instagram, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wesleyvissers\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/wesley-vissers-shares-the-upper-body-workout-thats-helped-build-his-chest-shoulders-and-triceps\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dutch bodybuilder, Wesley Vissers is hoping to follow up his Arnold Classic victory by winning the Classic Physique title at the 2026 Olympia and has recently shared a straight-forward workout for building his upper body.
