Gyms are closed all around the world but don't worry my friend I'm here to tell you which exercises are best for a home chest workout.

Your body is the machine and you need to use it to maintain muscle. 

Tons of bodyweight exercises out there. You can increase workout intensity by adding some weight like dumbbells, advanced level resistance band, loaded bags, water bottle packs, etc.

But most people don't have dumbbells, resistance bands, and barbells. So what to do?

Use water bottle packs or bags (loaded with books) but we are doing only bodyweight chest workout at home without adding weight.

So here are the top best chest pumping exercises.

1. Slow Motion Wide Grip Push-Ups

Slow-motion wide grip pushes up challenging than regular push-ups because of negative reps. Going down slowly activates pectoral muscles faster than fast push-ups.

2. Chest Dip With Chairs

This exercise helps to gain your upper pectoral muscle and doing in slow and control motion gives you an intense pump. Don't do specific reps like 10 or 15 do maximum reps.
