Construire une poitrine puissante et bien d\u00e9finie demande plus que simplement se pr\u00e9senter \u00e0 la salle de sport. Cela n\u00e9cessite une combinaison strat\u00e9gique d\u2019entra\u00eenement r\u00e9gulier, d\u2019une nutrition intelligente et d\u2019un choix d\u2019exercices cibl\u00e9 qui met vos pectoraux \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve sous tous les angles. Que vous d\u00e9butiez ou que vous cherchiez \u00e0 franchir un plateau, ces neuf exercices \u00e9prouv\u00e9s pour la poitrine vous aideront \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper une vraie force et une d\u00e9finition durable.<\/p>

Votre poitrine est ancr\u00e9e par les muscles pectoraux \u2014 l\u2019un des plus grands groupes musculaires du haut de votre corps. Mais l\u2019entra\u00eenement de la poitrine ne se fait pas isol\u00e9ment. Vos delto\u00efdes ant\u00e9rieurs, triceps, trap\u00e8ze et grand dorsal contribuent tous aux mouvements de pression et de vol, faisant de la journ\u00e9e poitrine une v\u00e9ritable s\u00e9ance du haut du corps lorsqu\u2019elle est correctement programm\u00e9e.<\/p>

Pourquoi l\u2019entra\u00eenement de la poitrine est important<\/h2>

Au-del\u00e0 de l\u2019esth\u00e9tique, une poitrine forte am\u00e9liore la posture, la puissance de pouss\u00e9e du haut du corps et la stabilit\u00e9 des articulations de l\u2019\u00e9paule. Selon une critique de 2017 dans leJournal of Human Kinetics<\/em>, les mouvements thoraciques compos\u00e9s et d\u2019isolation contribuent tous deux de mani\u00e8re significative \u00e0 l\u2019hypertrophie lorsque le volume et la surcharge progressive sont appliqu\u00e9s de mani\u00e8re constante.\u00b9<\/p>

9 exercices de poitrine les plus efficaces<\/h2>

1. Planche \u00e0 bras droit<\/h3>

                    Vous n\u2019avez pas besoin d\u2019effectuer les neuf exercices en une seule s\u00e9ance. Pour les d\u00e9butants, choisissez trois \u00e0 quatre mouvements par s\u00e9ance. Les athl\u00e8tes avanc\u00e9s peuvent structurer des splits push\/pull qui superposent des presses compos\u00e9es avec des mouches d\u2019isolation tout au long de la semaine. LeAmerican College of Sports Medicine<\/em>recommande 2 \u00e0 4 s\u00e9ries de 8 \u00e0 12 r\u00e9p\u00e9titions par exercice pour l\u2019hypertrophie, avec une surcharge progressive appliqu\u00e9e au fil du temps.\u2075<\/p>
