Building Upper Body Power: Chest & Back
Real strength starts with a solid foundation. We focus on heavy, controlled compound lifts to build a powerful chest and a back that stands tall.

About Building Upper Body Power: Chest & Back
Bench press and rows are the foundation of your upper body, but they are useless if your form is off. If you are just chasing a pump, you will lose progress. I focus on controlled eccentrics and proper spotting to ensure you hit the muscle fiber, not just the weight on the bar.
This is not about hawabazi. A strong chest and back define your posture and your total body strength. We do not just aim for the bench. We integrate incline movements to target the upper pecs and ensure full range of motion. For the back, pull-ups and heavy rows are non-negotiable. I teach you to retract your scapula and drive with your elbows. That is where the growth happens. Most people injure themselves because they ego-lift. In my sessions, we focus on safe progressive overload. Whether it is a barbell bench press or cable rows, I am there to spot you. We do not skip the foundational movements. If you want to build mass, you need to lift heavy with intent, not ego. Come prepared to work.
