The upper body’s largest muscle group is the pectoralis major (if you want the correct name), but more commonly known as the pecs, and here’s some ideas to help build pectoral muscles fast. You can really 
enhance how you physique looks if you have a great chest, but as the chest needs many different exercises to work the upper, lower & body pecs, it pays to do some research on how to build pectoral muscles fast.
Pretty well everyone knows that to build muscle, you must strenuously exercise to the point of tearing it down, then use a diet high in protein to rebuild it. A well balanced bodybuilding diet will be 40% unrefined and natural carbohydrates, then 25% protein, with the remainder a blend of fats and fiber.
One of the better ways to build pectoral muscles fast is to focus your bodybuilding routine on the chest once per week, with focus on other muscle groups on the remaining days. Perform these exercises in “descending strength” order, or start with the exercise that you need the heaviest wights & work down to the lightest. Most bodybuilding trainers will say to exercise three sets of 8 to 10 reps each, but as you become more advanced, 5 sets of 10 becomes common.
Specific Methods To Build Pectoral Muscles
Wide Press Barbell, Bench Press
Feet flat and square to the floor, lie prone on the bench, with the bar gripped about the width of your shoulders. Slowly lower the barbell to around your upper chest and neck area, pause for a 2 count, then a slow return to overhead.
Warm up with one set of a more moderate weight, then increase the weight to the max you can handle for the next eight to ten repetitions.
Slow and smooth and pausing at the full contraction position is ideal. Never bounce the weights onto your chest, and refrain from allowing your back to arch, or from lifting your butt from the bench. Not only will this not be doing justice to your exercise, there’s an injury potential as well.
Front Barbell Raise, Incline
Barbell gripped with palms facing down, arms straight down, on an incline bench and with a lighter weight, raising the weight smoothly to the overhead position, then continuing to extension behind the head is another exercise that will build pectoral muscles fast.
Dumbbell Flies, Flat Bench
Lying supine, you’ll need two dumbbells of moderate weight, holding them straight up, lowers them slowly and smoothly with your elbow with a very slight bend. Don’t over extend the shoulders, and finish with the arms and the floor in parallel.
Incline Press with Barbell, Wide-Grip
Using an incline bench, begin with the barbell straight overhead. Lower the weight to your upper chest-lower neck area. Use a weight that exhausts your muscles at eight to ten reps.
Decline Press with Barbell, Wide-Grip
This time you’ll be using a decline bench, and you’ll begin with your arms perpendicular to the floor. Perform eight to ten reps of slowly lowering to the floor.
Flat Bench Dumbbell Press
This move starts with the dumbbells straight overhead, then you lower them, keeping the upper body almost parallel with the shoulders, and with the elbows high. Again eight to ten repetitions.
Dumbbell Pullover Press Lateral on a Flat Bench
Using medium weight dumbbells and you’ll begin the move with the weights right at your chest, then rotate the dumbbells beyond your head towards the floor. In a singular movement, return them to your chest and press them slowly overhead .
Push-Ups Hands Together
Last but not least. No weights, no equipment and no explanation needed. Do these until you’re about to drop will round off our method to build pectoral muscles . That’s it, let the ripped chest muscles building process begin!
