What is a Feeder Workout?​
Feeder workouts are referred to as small sets of regular workouts. This means that after rigorous bodybuilding, you will undergo another session in the day. However, with feeder workouts, you are targeting some specific muscles using light exercises.

Moreover, let's say Sunday you start with pushing muscles (shoulders, shoulders, chest). Then the following Monday after your regular fitness routine, you choose to undergo feeder workouts on the triceps, shoulder, and chest. This is a person who is done in isolation and allows you fully concentrate on a specific muscle via strict reps.

A good example of a feeder workout recommended for push muscles might be :

Lateral Raise =4 sets 60-110 reps.
Pec Dec = 3 sets, 40-80 reps.
Dumbbell skull crushers = 3 sets 60-120 reps.

The aim of feeder workouts is not to bring out the muscles or pulverize them. These workouts and bodybuilding exercises are low-intensity fitness work to drive many-body nutrients into your muscles.

It is important to know that muscles grow when they are stimulated and fed with rich nutrients.

Chest Feeder Workouts​
In chest feeder workouts, there are six core body parts to focus on:thighs, calves, arms, shoulder, back, shoulders, and chest. The most stressful thing to build is the chest, and it cannot be done in isolation but with other body parts.

With Chest feeder workouts, you can learn to build muscles around your chest region. Most chest feeder workouts will focus on trapezius muscles and pecs.
