Th Effective Exercises to Build a Bigger Chest

An alumnus of Westchester Community College, Vincent Poggioreale is a certified NYC Site Safety Manager who has worked as safety supervisor and coordinator at B&V Contracting since 2015. When he isn’t overseeing safety efforts at construction job sites, Vincent Poggioreale enjoys working out at New York Sports Club.

Working out chest muscles is important to have a strong and chiseled upper body. Below are three effective exercises that can help in this regard:

1. Barbell bench press – One of the most common chest exercises, the barbell bench press involves laying on a bench with your back flat and feet planted on the ground. The bar should be positioned above your upper chest and, while keeping wrists and elbows straight, lower it until it hits your chest and then press the bar up for one full rep.

2. Band chest fly – Attach two exercise bands to a power rack, or any stable base you can find, and grab the ends of each with both hands. Standing with outstretched arms, lean forward at the hips and bring your hands together. Reverse the movement to complete one rep. Use this as a warmup or to finish a workout.

3. Incline dumbbell bench press – This involves the same motion as the barbell bench press but uses dumbbells and requires the bench be set at a 45-degree incline. It focuses more on the upper chest.

Tips for Choosing the Right Tattoo Artist

A construction safety professional based in New York City, Vincent Poggioreale has served as safety supervisor and coordinator with B & V Contracting since 2015. Outside of work, Vincent Poggioreale’s hobbies include attending car shows throughout New England and getting tattoos by his favorite artist, Basilio Martinez.

Because a tattoo is a lifelong commitment, it is vital to choose the artist carefully. A few tips can help you make a choice you won’t regret:

1. Prioritize safety and hygiene. Visit tattoo studios ahead of time to ensure artists follow protocols such as wearing gloves, disinfecting surfaces regularly, and keeping tools clean and organized.

2. Rely on word of mouth. Read online reviews and ask friends for referrals. Check to see how your friends’ tattoos have aged, as this can reveal a lot about the quality of the artist’s work and materials.

3. Do your research. Ask the tattoo artist to let you view their portfolio, or browse their website and social media to make sure their style is right for you.

4. Take your time. Visit several studios and talk to several artists before you make a decision, and rely on your instinct to guide you.

Bark for Life Events Celebrate Canine Contributions

As a safety supervisor and coordinator with B & V Contracting, Vincent Poggioreale assists foremen on construction sites and ensures that all work is performed in compliance with safety standards. Outside of work, Vincent Poggioreale volunteers at charitable events such as the annual Relay for Life, a cancer walk benefiting the American Cancer Society.

A community-based fundraising event, Relay for Life comprises more than 5,000 individual events in more than 20 countries each year. The event has evolved over the years to offer participation opportunities for many special populations, including young professionals and college and high school students. There is even an American Cancer Society Bark for Life event, which celebrates the contributions of canine companions.

For individuals with cancer, dogs can be a powerful source of comfort, compassion, and companionship. Bark for Life events celebrate these qualities through activities such as doggie games, dress-up contests, and music or food. Events might also feature demonstrations by therapy or rescue dogs. Participants in the event can benefit from the opportunity to share their stories and connect with like-minded individuals.

Visiting Cape May on the Jersey Shore

As a safety supervisor and coordinator at B & V Contracting in Yonkers, New York, Vincent Poggioreale draws on several professional certifications to oversee safe construction practices at sites across New York City and the surrounding region. Personally, Vincent Poggioreale enjoys visiting Cape May on the Jersey Shore each summer.

Known for its lighthouse, Cape May combines fascinating history with unspoiled beaches. Its historic district, which boasts Victorian mansions built in the 19th century, earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Cape May offers an extensive array of lodging options for overnight visitors ranging from hotels to campgrounds. Its small size facilitates riding a bicycle or walking, allowing for a more leisurely paced vacation, whether you want to visit a store or the beach.

Cape May’s several beaches offer amenities such as open showers to rinse off the sand and easy access to dining options. For those who want to see a wilder portion of the coast (sans amenities), Higbee Beach lies a couple of miles away from the town. The beach, backed by sand cliffs and dunes, features excellent opportunities for bird watching.
