For many bodybuilders, no matter what kind of fitness training mode, such as the most common equipment fitness or the bare-handed fitness with low threshold, its ultimate fitness purpose is to train better-looking muscles. Of course, their muscle pursuit is also different. For example, fitness enthusiasts in gymnasiums are more interested in muscle size and strength, while fitness enthusiasts with bare hands are more interested in muscle separation and flexibility. However, no matter what kind of bodybuilder, it must be muscles that pursue more beauty. As the facade muscle of bodybuilders, chest muscle can be said to be well trained or even affect the overall muscle evaluation.

For example, the more iconic chest exercise in unarmed fitness is push-ups, and the more iconic chest exercise in equipment fitness is bench press. The two chest exercises are different, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. So what's the difference between the chest muscles of an unarmed exerciser and the chest muscles of an instrument exerciser?

The difference in muscle size

If the difference between the two pectoral muscles is the most obvious, it is the difference in dimension. The chest muscle size of unarmed fitness enthusiasts will be smaller than that of equipment fitness enthusiasts. It is mainly because the training actions of practicing chest muscles, such as push-ups, mainly rely on self-weight training, which may have a good stimulating effect on the chest muscles at the initial stage of training, but the stimulating effect on the chest muscles after long-term training is not great. The bench press in equipment fitness can be based on your current needs.

Morphological differences of pectoral muscles

Many people may think that they are all pectoral muscles, and their appearance can be worse, but in fact, pectoral muscles are not just a whole muscle, such as push-ups or parallel bars arm flexion and extension in unarmed fitness training. Although the chest muscles are also very stylish, it is often difficult to practice better. Simple push-up training is difficult to practice the side seam and middle seam of chest muscle. Relatively speaking, bench press and other equipment training are easier to carry out detailed training of chest muscles.

Differences in expressive force of pectoral muscles

In fact, the dimension of muscle also largely determines the strength of muscle. Large pectoral muscles are naturally stronger than small pectoral muscles, and this is indeed the case. The chest muscle strength of instrument exercisers is obviously stronger than that of unarmed exercisers, but the endurance of unarmed exercisers is stronger, which is also different from fitness training methods.
