But trust me, building your dream chest doesn't really have to be a rocket science by over complicating things by using unconventional training exercises and techniques. Even if you perform only a few staple moves of a chest day, but do them with good intensity, that should be enough to get things done for you. Here is the list of those 5 conventional exercises that you should do in 2019 to achieve the best looking pectorals that you always wanted.

Okay, no surprises here. Barbell bench press will always make it to every list of chest exercise that will ever be compiled. It's like you just cannot presume that you are training chest till the time you are doing bench press on your chest day. Bench Press has been the ultimate chest builder since the Arnold Era. Bench Press helps you to build your strength as well as power. It is also one of the best exercises to build the mid pectoral section of your Chest muscles. Relatively easy to spot and easy to balance than a dumbbell press, Barbell Bench press lets you go heavy than its dumbbell counterpart. Thus, there is no reason why you should not be performing a barbell bench press on your chest day if building a good looking chest is your target.

2) Low Incline Bench Press

I've seen so many people doing Incline Presses at a very high angle. When I ask them, they tell me that they are doing it to isolate their upper pecs. However, the truth is that you are actually recruiting more front delt as you go steeper in your incline bench. You should ideally perform incline bench press at a less steep angle to hit your upper pectorals appropriately. Not to mention that Incline Bench Press will help you to build your upper chest and thus give your chest a complete look by complementing those mid and lower pectorals.

3) Decline Bench Press

With the inclusion of the decline press in your chest workout, you will be hitting your upper, mid and lower pectorals at the same time. This will help you build your pectorals in a proportion as every area of the muscle group is being given equal attention. Some of the Gyms lack a dedicated decline bench in their equipment, which can be managed by using the adjustable bench on a squat rack.

4) Incline Bench Cable Flys

After completing your multi-joint movements, you should include a few isolation moves as well to create the required stimuli for muscle growth. Cables allow continuous muscle tension along with full range of motion. Since majority of the people lack that finishing touch in their upper pecs, including Incline Cable Flys in your Chest routine will help you with a complete Upper chest builder workout.

5) High Pulley Cable Cross Over

This one isolates your lower pecs like no other exercise out there. People who have problem of puffy nipples or lose lower chest can actually benefit from including this exercise in their routine. If you were not doing this exercise till now, include it this year and see the change in your pectoral shape with those rounded lower pecs.
