Building chest muscle is more then just about doing bench presses. To build a quality fully developed chest you need to be looking at hitting the 3 main areas of the chest muscle.
The 3 basic areas are simply:
Upper Chest
Lower Chest
Middle Chest
Obviously there are other areas to consider such as outer and inner chest however the exercises that I am going to show you will stimulate these areas also.
The extended set technique I am going to show you is great for building pectoral muscle as it stimulates all 3 of the above mentioned areas.
The principle of this muscle building workout is to combine 3 exercises together into one large extended set.
The exercises for building chest muscle that we are going to use in this workout are:
Incline Press
Flat Press
Decline Press
You can use either dumbbells or a barbell for this chest workout.

The idea of this building chest muscle workout is that you start in your weakest range of motion. Perform a set until you cannot do anymore and then switch into the next position and perform more reps of that exercise until you cannot do any more. Finally you will hit the last exercise and do the same.
You should aim to do around 10 reps for each of the exercises. You should have no rest in between exercises and perform 2-3 of these extended sets with 2 minutes rest in between.
This building chest muscle workout will really give you that pump feeling and is harder then it looks.
The tempo that you should be using for each rep should be 401. 4 seconds to lower the weight and 1second to raise it back up again without resting at the top or bottom.
This is a fairly advanced method so if you have only just started out with your muscle building then you may want to give this one a miss. Alternatively you could do 10reps of each exercise with a 30-60 break in between.
