RIP coach. So damn happy all your videos live on here for us to keep learning.
@@Iwasneverhere7 unfortunately yeah but he thankfully made tons and tons of videos for us to learn from. His bodybuilding programs are awesome too
After not being able to feel the stretch anymore on incline, I started these last week. First time in years, or ever, that my chest got genuinely pumped and sore, not just stretched. That good kind of sore. For some reason my upper pecs were hit well also, never happens for me even on incline. Long may it last. 93% pec activation on dumbbell decline according to EMG studies.
But for The mid and lower pec .....
I'm focusing now more about upper pecs
I'm doing just incline dumbbell press
And Incline dumbells fly
When they study muscle activation with EMG, it shows a decline press activates the pectoralis major the most. This makes sense, because when you do them, you can feel your shoulders are less activated. So, the science matches how they feel. Interestingly, flat bech and incline usually show equal stimulation in the pecs, with more shoulder in the incline version. Dorian was onto something, slight incline as to not make your bench a shoulder exercise and slight decline because being upside down while pressing sucks, lol.
I know im late but can you show me that study that says decline has the most chest activation
So impressed with the simple idea of putting a plate under the bench to give you the decline one of those why didn't I think of tha moments
I love the decline bencing, it really isolates the lower pec for me too and somehow it is a bit easier for my shoulders also.
definitely!
These are golden...do all the not so common unique exercises you know too.
I just did the same: sticking a plate under my bench to create a 'slight' decline. The result was that my chest was targeted like never before, with no shoulder issues. I won't be going back to the flat press.
So as soon as you uploaded this , I was like “I’m definitely doing this today !!!”
I did it and just that slight decline!!! Whooooaaa man !!!! This was great !!!! I felt it and it HURT ! Thank youuuuu John !
Thank you so much for giving us all free tips & advice. God bless you brother John @mountaindog1
I like that small angles are easier to manage in a home gym without a bunch of extra equipment. I experiment with different size wood blocks so I still have plates i can lift lol. RIP Coach. You were always a massive inspiration to me and I know so many others. It's sad he never will know how many lives he continues to change even after his passing.
Its a great chest exercise for those with shoulder issues. I can vouch for that from personal experience.
I train for like 10 years,amd this is the best tip ever....
Very humble man. Top coach. Salute!
I really enjoy doing these on incline. Really easy on the shoulders
These superset with cable flys are a nasty burn with minimal shoulder issues….my shoulders are a mess and these were a game changer. I also stick the plate on the opposite end for a slight incline as well. Perfect chest workout for trashed shoulders.
These look fun and it pec day for me. Thanks John.
I feel these way more in my whole chest than when I do incline or flat dumbbell presses.
RIP king
I added these into my chest work
Reality good as I’m tall with long arms and Bench press hurt my shoulders 🤘🏾🔥💙
These and slight incline dumbbell press are my go to.
Thank you for the video John. Your videos make my day!
I like that exercise, thanks John 🙌🏼
Thank you, going to try this tomorrow.
Game changing videos right there. Keep them coming, sir. Stay safe!
Glad you reloaded it!!!
Great for people dealing with impingement!!!
My favorite exercise
Love and miss this man! God bless
This channel is gold. Thanks a lot for all the big advices.
you bet!
Still is.
Rest in peace John ❤Thanks for everything.
I add these in my routine sometimes as well. Awesome vid and great point in that even angling something just a little can effect what muscle is being hit.
Always great phenomenal content. Look forward to every video
Nice! Thanks for these John.
All exercises are cool
I think the slight decline is a good way to hit the pecs and specially with dumbbells! Thanks
my bench at home declines but mainly only the larger portion of the pad is at a decline whereas the part of the pad where it divides from the top portion is not long enough to support my lower back.. so what I did was put two crates underneath the bench and it elevated it to an extreme decline level that I had at the gym but it still felt awkward quite like the ones in the gym.... The new weider bench I just brought does a very slight decline just as the one you illustrate in your video and for a little while I thought that was not an effective decline until I stumbled across this video... I have since went on Amazon and updated my review on its decline feature... Thank you for this most informative info.. I no longer need to fight gravity and balance doing declines at extreme angles...
One of the best!
Great idea thank you!
thanks for the reupload! you're looking great in that shirt man, what's your weight now because you make me feel small at 220 Haha
im only like 225-228
The best in the business!!
watch you all the time man , i do this slight incline all the time now ...really feel it lower in the chest..used to be a lagging part but now im getting the shape iv been looking for ..thank dude !!
I done a pb on dumbell press today John 40kg/ 90lb felt like a beast lol not bad for little old me was telling everyone all day about it boring them 😂
I'd be telling everyone too if I did 90s
@@anthonyspencermusicofficial But 90lbs my 1rm.
love these another way is doing them as floor presses with a pillow or airex pad under your butt rest at the bottom and press up best feeling in the chest u re more stable cause ur shoulder are resting on the floor compared to a bench good for people with wider shoulders
The nice thing about this is you don’t have blood rushing to your head like it’s going to explode 🤯🤟🏼 did you feel the difference with the change?
yes!
RIP, and thank you
Great exercise
Thanos should try a little of these to get up to par! Yaaa! cool exercise and great range, my lower and outer pecs need shaping bad
I’ve hurt myself with this exercise. RIP John. Just found out about John recently and have been loving the videos and working so many exercises and tips into my workouts. This was my second chest day of trying the decline dumbbell press and on my second set, I jerked a knot in the center of my back trying to stabilize the weight while laying down. I was almost in tears. I’ve been on the foam roller and been stretching all day. Trying to figure out how John did it so smoothly. Not giving up on this exercise just yet!
How much can you seated cable row for a semi strict set of ten, with a full stretch?
I did these today, what a coincidence.. i rotate them sideways when i bring them to my chest though. and i keep them lined up with my lower chest more than the upper or middle
Miss you John 😞
Can t wait for tomorrow to try it out. Today was an awful day I got so sick after the squat and lounges that I passed out a couple of times lul. Thx for another great video sir John .Also, could you please help out with this sickness getting in my way during legs training days? Is like I get dizzy and light headed and sweat q lot and then boom I have to sit and make silly noises.
Watched & Liked 👍🏼👍🏼
That bush music real Tarzan shit workout 😂🎉
If I flared my elbows out that much my shoulders would break.
Never found an exercise you recommend that wasn't great. But does belt help in benching? I use it on leg or back day but never chest. thx.
I use to keep lower back tight...my lower back is really fragile
Here from the project colossus
yes sir!!! are you cranking those top sets?
Do u ever do cardio? If so how often?
hey just curious what is you're height and weight? also thanks for the tip!
5'7 - 225-228
Is Decline press better than the flat press?
a little different, i think better for pecs
easier on the delts?
yes
cool
Hi John, I have done these the last couple of weeks and my rotator cuff is killing me! Should I just avoid them or what?
jebadiah4 try stretching and warming up longer before hand
I already do a considerable warm up beforehand as I have shoulder issues as it is. But this was next level pain, and the only thing I've changed in my workout last cpl of weeks is adding this exercise.
@@jebadiah4 I have one that isn't fucked yet but I can feel it.
No form Nazis will be nitpicking on this video that's for sure. 😏
