Which muscle group do you wish to grow the most? For Alex, it's chest. While there's always room for more growth, the amount of progress he's made (plus the hundreds of clients he's worked with) gives him an upper hand in diving into all things chest!

Listen in as Alex and Sue dive into the functions of the chest, our go-to movements, and some common mistakes. And as promised each week—don't forget to sign up to receive a FREE cheat sheet for the next two episodes. Give it a read, save it to your phone, and take notes!

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Be sure to like and subscribe and leave us a review if you loved this episode!
