It takes more than a steady diet of presses and curls to reach your full potential for size and strength. "You need to challenge your upper-body muscles in fresh ways to stimulate new growth," says Sean De Wispelaere, a coach for Men's Health Thrive in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Enter the three-move chest and shoulder blaster. Your muscles won't know what hit them.
"Using the dumbbell chest press, the feet-elevated TRX pushup, and the bear crawl, you'll target both your fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibers," explains De Wispelaere. "The unique combination of exercises increases your power, size, and endurance, and bullet-proofs your shoulders, making you stronger in all upper-body lifts."
