My chest hurts finally... Thanks for the pain
good!
Yeah buddy.. Hah ha ha
Ain't everybody wanna be a bodybuilder but nobody want to lift that heavy ass weight
Thank you. Maybe you can create the same by adding a DB for warmups
World shall know pain
I remember when I first figured this out. I was about 19 and had been weight training for about 5 years already but had never felt my chest because I was mostly just pressing weight straight up and down. Then I read in Flex magazine about how the true function of the pecs are to bring the arms together. So the next workout I concentrated on going wide at the bottom of dumbbell presses and then trying to squeeze my biceps together at the top. After maybe 3 reps my chest cramped up incredibly painfully because they had never experienced that before. From there my chest progress just took off.
WILD THINGS I wish I could read it so I can see how to do it
WOW THANK YOU!
Thats the best way to do it. Think about squeezing both biceps together at the top most definitely activates the chest muscles to work best. I'm going to do it tonight lol
@stephen stewart thats even a better way of connecting mind and muscle while benching. I just tried it without any weight and instantly you can feel a better pump, thanks!
@Nexxo Exxon same here, I am also facing this issue and I keep stressed out everyday.....
I feel I wasted nearly a whole year of training until I figured this out for the first time. Such a great feeling.
I love how John and friends fricken finally simplify and explain muscle building to where I can ACTUALLY understand what the whole point of any exercise ACTUALLY is. Awesome.
I can't express my gratitude for this video. My chest gains have plateaued because I couldn't get that MMC, no matter how hard i tried. Now I can finally feel my chest swell with blood. Thanks a lot mate!
I wish i knew about this when I first started, this is something i had to figure out on my own over few years. Mind muscle connection is key and damn it feels good when you do it right.
Great video Mountain Dog, its cool how you always have other pro’s sharing advised. You dont act like this is my channel I know it all, humble guy👍👍
Absolutely revolutionary! Eugene is shamingly articulate (as always) with no splicing, cutaways or editing of any kind
Thank you, I've been having problem using my chest for bench press, now that problem is solved thank you.
awesome!!
This are propably the best chest tips I have ever heard. I could always squeeze and make them burn, but not feel it very well doing any pressing or even cables. I always felt like my front delt and bicep wants to take over, even with tucked back shoulders. Will definitely try thank you very much 💪
hey mate just saw your massage now im having the exact same problem right now did those workout worked ?
Oh wow this was over 2 years ago. Yes these tips here worked well. It turned out that my front delts where just proportionally overdeveloped and overcompensating in most chest exercises. What helped me the most though, was to use light weights and do every chest exercise with proper technique and in slow motion (!) for a couple months to really feel ghe chest burn and activate that mind-muscle connection. This was by far my biggest chest problem and chances are that its the same for you. Once that connection was established I went back into my strength-focused training and became continually stronger than ever since I could now properly incorporate my chest. Hope this helps 👍
@@servantofthemosthigh9250 thank you for your time and tips man i appreciate it
@@servantofthemosthigh9250 thanks for this comment
@@servantofthemosthigh9250 I have that same problema and injured myself the rotator cuff and bicp tendon I will try your commnet to star with light weight for a couple of month.
Hope have a big chest
Definitely gonna incorporate this video and the one on chest stretch (w/ kettlebell offset on bench) into my chest routine. RIP to the legend John Meadows. These videos are top notch and hold up years later. Thanks to whoever is maintaining these videos and keeping them on UA-cam for all to learn from.
Man, Eugene's good. Never thought about chest activation this way. Love the drills, they work wonders!
Absolutely great advice. After years of lifting something as simple as shoulder positioning had slipped away. This reminded instantly functionality of my chest. Much appreciated.
I cannot tell you how much your videos have improved my workouts and form. Lifting this morning I did this activation and I’ve never felt my chest more during a workout. Thank you for the videos keep them coming!!
Rip John you will never be forgotten 💪
See, everytime I watch workout videos, nobody ever explains the science behind it or HOW to truly get an efficient workout. THIS is the most important in weight lifting and sets people up to succeed. In my honest opinion, if we break down HOW to workout properly and WHY these motions are important, everything else will follow naturally and people will see much greater results without injuring themselves. EXCELLENT work guys.
You didn't watch Jeff nippard ?
@@kakskak6220 Aww snap! I was going to recommend Jeff before I read your comment. His technique Tuesday series is great. I found this channel through him. :)
This was super helpful! For a long while my delts always took over when i tried to do chest exrecises
this video is actually truly helpful whether you have issues with feeling your chest or not. i do isometric squeezes as part of chest but this actually puts into words what is happening. this is not a super sexy topic so i bet it might get bypassed but it was truly helpful
Amazing knowledge, this has added a whole new dimension too my training.
Thanks guys! Great stuff.
Im doing chest this am, and with Ulcerative Colitis and serious infusion meds that cause joint pain, my shoulders have been bothering me badly last few months so this info is very helpful. Ill give it a solid shot today prior to blasting the pecs.
Thanks for your time and advice guys. Much appreciated.
I have been training for yrs and I have been doing it wrong! Thank you for showing me the right way.So grateful to watch the number one training channel on UA-cam Thank you for sharing your awesome video Mountain ⛰ dog 🐕
I love pre exhaustion stuffs. Just never do it to failure. After that that very muscle will cooperate in all the compound liftings to follow. I’ve done one arm pec deck before chest, straight arm pull down before lats, extensions before legs and side laterals before delts. All extra lightweight and mid-part partials. I love it. Helps a lot with that mind muscle connection. Additionally I also do a little isometrics or posing right after the workouts to keep the blood boiled. Hope this helps too. Wish all the best to everyone.
Great idea for warming up prior to chest work. Something so easy to do and I will begin to incorporate this into my workout. Thanks for sharing.
I want to say thank you for this video. I used your technique along with some band work before my chest routine and it helped a lot. Best pump I've had in a while
This is exactly what I've been noticing in playing around with the feel/contraction. Your instructions make so much sense and help enforce that I'm on the right track. Thank you
So happy I found this all the time I spent working on my chest with little results now a slight repositioning of the shoulders now I feel the burn Thank you.
Hi Eugene and John. Thank you for the video. I did the chest activation exercises and it made a big difference. It really helped with my incline bench press. You are right it does help relieve some tightness in my shoulder. Also those chest stretch exercises you recommend doing at the end of my chest workout helped my chest feel open and removed all that uncomfortable tension I get from training chest. Really good open chest feeling.
awesome!!!
Finally, a proper video on how to activate your chest, after viewing hundreds of videos I finally found a legit one, thanks man
Excellent video. Now, I know why your shoulders are supposed to be pinched back during bench press. And also now I can feel my chest. Thank you so much.
Glad I found your channel. I'm disappointed I missed you at the olympia. You teach very well.
Been waiting for these vids to come out since your visit John. Mountain Dog and the Muscle Mechanic collab, awesome stuff!
Very helpful and useful video. Addresses a very crucial issue related to chest development. Thanks for all the inputs.
Oh my gosh how have I not seen this video before!? Two legends of the game 👏👏👏 RIP John Meadows 🙏🙏🙏
Edit: Chest day yesterday- WOW. I always had decent wide chest engagement, had been working more on interior and lower pec. These helped tremendously! Feeling amazing today.
*And* As Eugene suggested, my right shoulder had on occasion been getting a little janky if I was lifting max, and ending on incline presses. I will probably adjust, but did a decline/flat/incline sequence yesterday, and at the end, I had way less/no shoulder impingement. These activations are next level!
This is actually super helpful as I have partial tears in both of my biceps and I always have a very difficult time activating my chest during chest training. John Meadows always providing amazing information
Eugene is the man!
Honestly can’t believe I haven’t tried this before. Great advice, thank you guys!
Great short video! Really like Eugene’s way of coaching and explaining this. We miss you John!
I’ve done this before but never the other way I’ll get it a go see if it gives me abit more stability great vids keep it up
My two favorite trainers together. I really enjoy both your channels.
Absolutely fantastic video! Always a problem for me , huge help ! Thanks
I did know Mark Hamil was so jacked under that robe lol.
yesss!!!!
@@mountaindog1 Luck, may the Force be with you!
I figured this out on my own. It's very helpful. I do think it grows your muscles though, if you concentrate and flex hard enough you can really feel it.
Awesome tutorial. Thank you. I have shoulder issues and that 10 rack hold going from I side to outside is awesome. Feels good
This has to be the greatest video on chest ever. This literally cured the MMC problem for me and my chest has not stopped growing since
This has saved my life. I still need alot of practice before i can perfect the movement, but gains are on the way 💪
I definitely struggle with feeling my right pec and it shows with the development... can’t wait to test this out!
Absolutely quality video as always. I'm going to the gym to bench in about an hour. So will be using this
Wow! Thanks for the info, been struggling to improve my mind muscle connection in pecs area, and building quality chest muscles. Will incorporate this to my routine 🙏🏽
This is legendary info! Clicked instantly after a chest workout with little activation! Thank you
Fantastic information, thank you John for these series of videos
Great video. I had a general idea but learning the mechanics of the situation brings it to life
Thank you for doing the video. Going to give it a try. You have great instructional videos.
Tried your rack method with a pillar in my house - CHEST FIBRES WOKE RIGHT UP. Thanks for all the great advice!
Amazing content. Thanks so much John and Eugene!
Super educational. Thanks so much. Can’t wait to put this into practice.
This is Gold Advice!...Will Def incorporate in my training!
Thanks a lot. I’ve been having problems trying to get the mind muscle connection on my chest. Now I understand where I’ve been going wrong.
This vid and your other one like was a huge help, man. I was getting frustrated with myself. Feeling great now. New sub!
This is a good visual aid because he has big developed muscles to actually see what's being discussed
You're freaking awesome man. One of my biggest inspirations in bodybuilding and in life. I've had the pleasure of chatting with you a few times through email but it's a dream to meet you and maybe even train with you one day. Keep it up man. You inspire so many people. You've changed my life dramatically with your knowledge.
thank you!
Good information as I will start to do this. Chest is my weakest point. Especially BB Bench Press. DB I am much stronger on, although not to where my squat and deadlift is. Thank you for the videos Eugene and John. Very down to earth no bullshit stuff.
Thank you for sharing such great knowledge
Great teacher. Awesome information. Going to do chest right now!!
Valuable tips here that I feel are imperative to training all muscle groups. Good info yet again John..Thank you !
Thank you!
This is the best video i have come across for this information! you have actually changed everything for me. No more stupid gym bro lifting as much as possible, go back make sure its right and start lifting with the right muscles! This saved my shoulders!
That was very interesting, something very important and at the same time simple. Thank you John for always bringing good information.
Just got added to my YT chest folder. Great tips. Really like the stabilisation tip.😁
Just got done with chest and back. Thanks for the video!!
Man two legends in one video. Miss ya John
Great advice, wish I would've watched this when it was released. Makes since why I have no growth in mid upper inner chest. My shoulder is doing too much of the press
John, your channel has so much value and I hope people see how important the things you put out are. Wish you all the best my man!
thank you!!!!
Eugene way better here than his latest videos , I like the way he’s more direct in his explanations
This is brilliant. I feel the muscle fibres clearly. Thanks for this brilliant tip

Im doing that mind/muscle prep today b4 my chest work John. Ty.
Nice definitely will do this from now on before hitting chest , makes more sense with mind muscle connection as well
In just a very short period of time, 8 minutes to be precise, these two men explained to the entire world how to [much] more effectively work chest. And yet, less than 3k thumbs up.
:/
Brutal.
But, THANK YOU for the knowledge. Will be employing this knowledge post haste.
This video was super helpful guys. Thanks a ton
I needed this video. Thank you 🙏
Very helpful tips!

First time actually feeling my chest,instantly subbed!
Brilliant advice. Worked a charm.
Wow! This was fantastic!
Very intellectual way to train. Just like how B paks style.
