Hey John, you should get another series going or upload more of these videos. It’s a shame you don’t get more views, your standpoint is refreshing especially with all the scientific data to back it up. Good job.
Whether you’re laying on a bench or standing up, it really doesn’t matter. moving the humerus towards the midline of the body is what contracts the pectoral
Well, you can apply more stress in one division of the pec. The Pec Clavicular can be more affected by arm rotation, so in effect you are isolating it more but it isn't going to be as a pressing movement like the example of lower bench or upper press.The plane of action is different for sure. I imagine thats why your tip toeing around these statements. You body can have a muscle spasm that is in one area such as the Pec clavicular and the lower pec is inactive. So neurologically the brain can isolate and affect one area. I agree there are more important issues for most lifters than thinking of fast twitch or isolation movements but part of the motivation for training is phycological or we could argue egotistical. I think im hearing your presentations coming from a place of how to build muscle density and strength fast. What about integration through the core? You use the bar and standing plate which reduces lots of core stress that is attained from standing or using a post or tree to anchor the bands. all moves translate through the core this way. With traditional weights most movements are sitting or laying and little core stress. So lots of big armed guys with no abs, grip power or core. Good program, and lots of great ideas for such a short workout. More efficient means more time to live, Thanks.
While training at home during quarantine I did pull-ups on my pull-up bar you place on your door. I hurt my right shoulder and it has never been the same since. I always preferred lat pull downs vs pull-ups.
@@DanTejedaFit being 58 and working out for the past 35 years I should have known better to warm up my shoulders before just hopping up there and banging out a set. It felt fine until I did the second set which is when I felt sharp pain in my right shoulder. Pull ups are also hard for me because I lost 25 percent of strength in both arms due to serious injuries. Heavy weighted dips used to be one of my favorite exercises also but I had to cut them out of my routine because it also hurts my right shoulder even without weight. I have been a sanitation worker for the past 36 years so I guess wear and tear from that doesn’t help.

Good job.
It's not a thing! Bada Bing! Thanks for the great info! I'm in the middle of week 4!
So , you're saying that you can get width AND thickness in your back from doing only bent rows ?
Yes! Check out some of the progress photos in the X3 Bar Users Group! There have been a lot of fantastic transformations!
So would you recommend sticking strictly to flat bench or does incline still have its place
Or is it just a comfort thing as they are recruiting the same muscle either way

@@JaquishBiomedical wouldn’t that mean since you can push more weight decline to push downwards with the X3 to get more muscle and strength growth?
@@Chiddychild That’s what he’s been saying.

How did you manage that?
