Feeling as if your breasts are lacking in size can leave you feeling less than great about your body. Breasts are made up of glands and fat tissue that sit on top of muscle. These chest muscles, known as the pectorals, respond to strength training exercises. By performing chest specific exercises with heavy weights you can add muscle mass to your chest and achieve bigger breasts.
Dips
Chest dips are done on dip bars to strengthen the pectoral muscles. Start with your body in between the dip bars with your hands on the handlebars. Press your body upward or jump up until your arms are straight and your body is hanging. Lean forward slightly to isolate your chest muscles. Bend your knees to avoid letting your feet touch the ground during the exercise. Bend your arms slowly and lower your body as far as you can. Pause for a second at the bottom of the movement and press yourself back up until your arms are straight again. Continue performing dips until your muscles fatigue and you cannot complete a full dip.
Lying Dumbbell Pullovers
The lying dumbbell pullover uses a dumbbell to strengthen and enlarge your chest. Start on your back on a weight bench with your feet on the floor. Straighten your arms over your chest and hold one end of the dumbbell with both hands. Hold the dumbbell in a vertical position directly over your chin. Bend your arms and lower the dumbbell behind your head. Extend your arms as far as you can without any pain or discomfort, slowly return the weight to the starting position and repeat for six to eight repetitions. If you can perform eight repetitions easily use a heavier weight.
Medicine Ball Push-Ups
This form of the standard push-up challenges your balance while isolating your entire chest. Use a large medicine ball that fits both of your hands. Start on your knees with your hands on the top of the ball. Fully extend your arms and position the ball directly beneath your chest. Straighten your legs and extend your feet behind your body until there is a straight line from your head to feet. Bend your arms, slowly lower your body until your chest comes in contact with the ball and press back up until your arms are straight again. Start on your knees instead of your toes if you cannot perform a full repetition in the standard position. Perform push-ups until your muscles fatigue.
