A New Firmer You

Sometimes you don't need to resort to pills, devices and surgery to firm up your bust. There are some great ways that you can achieve guaranteed results within weeks, and these are revealed by Raphael Calzadilla.

When a personal training client asked him to help her create firm looking bust, here was his response:

There wasn't anything mystical about my plan of attack. I simply analyzed the basic structure of the female chest area and thought about the most effective exercises to create a lifted appearance. The goal was to make my client's bust appear more firm and elevated.

I wasn't about to modify the basic shape of her breasts, so I had to focus on the surrounding muscle tissue.

By placing a major emphasis on the upper chest and outer perimeter to some degree, I started to think that it might have a favorable effect.

I decided to increase the volume of her chest workouts each week and place most of my emphasis on upper chest exercises. If I could develop the upper chest, it might create the illusion she was looking for. I always knew that the typical bodybuilder always looked impressive with a muscular upper chest and that it made one's eyes go directly to that area due to its impressiveness. However, I was by no means attempting to turn my client into a bodybuilder. I simply wanted to build a small amount of muscle in that area for illusion.

I focused on three great upper chest exercises; the dumbbell incline press, dumbbell incline fly and modified fitness band two arm chest fly. With the fitness band two arm chest fly, I changed the angle one would normally use to perform the movement. I also like this particular exercise because it creates a different type of tension on the muscles compared to dumbbells.

These exercises helped to fill in the upper chest area for my client, creating a lifted appearance. In addition, the dumbbell incline fly and fitness band exercise had an affect on the outer perimeter of the chest as well which created a tighter all around look.

Within 90 days one could see the effect that was taking place. When my client walked into a room, her upper chest appeared lifted, this in turn made the entire bust appear higher and more firm.

She was ecstatic with the results and so was I.

So, strength training in the chest area builds up the pectoral muscles, creating a much larger cleavage. If you're unsure about pills or surgery, this is a very good alternative that will help build your bust.

Exercises for a Firmer You

What exercises would be most effective for the appearance of bust/breast enhancement?

The most effective exercises for bust enhancement would basically be anything that is going to work your chest muscles. You can only build up the muscle underneath the bust -- these exercises won't increase the actual size of the bust. There are two major categories of exercises -- ones that will build and ones that will help define.

Exercises that will build up the chest muscles include: dumbbell and barbell bench presses (these can be done on the flat bench, incline bench or decline bench), dips and push-ups. Exercises that will help with definition include cable cross-overs, dumbbell flyes (flat, incline or decline) and the pec deck.

I would recommend using primarily exercises that build up the muscle, while including the exercises from the second category in a smaller ratio. I would say for every 3 sets of building exercises, do 1 set of defining exercises. Most women tend to do the complete opposite, choosing the pec deck and cross-overs because they're easier and neglecting the presses. You'll get better results by working at the exercises that are harder.

The best bench press version to use to enhance the bust line is the decline bench press. This exercise is done on a decline bench, so your head will be lower than your feet. This position tends to emphasize the lower chest muscles. Building this area up will push forward what you've already got, helping to enhance the bust area.

I would also recommend doing exercises for the back and shoulders to help balance out your posture. These include cable rows, pull downs, rear delt laterals, dumbbell rows, etc. These exercises will pull your shoulders back, keeping you from slouching forward. Improving your posture will probably do just as much for bust enhancement as will working the chest muscles.
