He explains things better than a lot of fitness UA-cam instructors. Are there many more of these?
Daniel Spellman yup. look up evan centopani. another one of my fave honest straight up human being like this dude jay. kai green too. bradley martin is when I sometimes need a laugh for a moment or two.
Well he was Mr Olympia..
Because he is a legend!
He is better than ronnie my think😊
@@FitifyArifsheikh8 well, technically he IS better than Ronnie. He didn’t abuse Roids as badly, he kept mostly healthy and it shows
Barbell press 100% fucks your shoulders up, whenever I did barbell bench press my left shoulder would feel horrible but with dumbells there’s no pain at all
i agree. i can press the 90lbs dumbbells 8X, and it's fine. But go to the bar, and press the converted weight... maybe 235lbs, and shoulders feel the strain. I avoid the barbell, and will even use machine presses over it.
Excellent explanation Jay I HAVE to do these in order to really hit my chest maybe genetics or what have you but that's for sharing!
I like doing dumbell presses with palms facing in towards each other. I think that way works the chest more and less on the shoulders. It works well for people that have shoulder issues too.
Those are chest flies.
@@jordanhamrick5891 If you're pressing them up and not bring them across your body from the outside, yes they are presses.
@@bob-carnatu-sef they are chest flies. Lol. They are two different exercises entirely. Yes technically you're using pressing muscles with even seated chest flies, let alone actually lying down to do them which uses even more pressing, but it's still more stabilization than pressing. That's why you cannot fly near as much as db press. Not even close. Palms facing inwards changes the lift entirely UNLESS you keep your arms super straight but that defeats the purpose of ROM. You're basically calling a bicep curl a pull exercise when I reality it's just a bicep exercise. I understand it incorporates a pulling movement with pulling muscles but it's simply different than rows. You're basically saying that OHP and lateral raises are the same thing. They both use the shoulders and triceps basically ONLY and yet are completely different even though both are pressing motions. Maybe you're under thinking it or maybe in overthinking it but I do it for a living.
@@jordanhamrick5891 you do realize that for lying chest flies the concentric starts from your arms being extended outside your body like Jesus nailed to a cross and bringing them up, whereas a press with neutral grip the eccentric starts with the weight near your chest and pushing them up. I don't know how you are failing to visualize this. Think a dumbbell bench press and turn your palms inwards. Those are not flies and your comprehension is terrible
same it just feels so much more of a comfortable pushing movement than the elbows flared out position
This is my favorite chest exercise. Fun and effective!
Same!
no spotter needed either
Jay really knows his stuff.
That's why he is a legend!
You think ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
150lbs for reps that's crazy
They look like 50 lbs in his hands
Where do you see 150 here?
One small tip: Externally rotate your arms a bit like he does to take the pressure off of your front delts and activate the chest more.
Thank you for this tip. Highly appreciated.
In addition to the benefits Jay listed, the shorter ROM is great because we want the scapulas stable and down. So laying 200+ lbs on them makes them immobile, and much more stable. Trying to lock out while maintaining the pinned/down/back scaps will bang up your coracoid processes, and invite labrum issues and impingement.
I get 0 contraction doing this exercise and it sucks cause you need this for mass. It almost feels like I'm pushing with my arms instead of getting the contraction by focusing on bring the dumbells across my body but actually doing it. Its weird
Try to roll your shoulders back. This happened to me and i was getting sore in a specific spot between my chest and elbow.
Dont move the weight then squeeze your chest, squeeze your chest to move the weight up and the focus on the stretch on the way down
out of my big three compounds. my bb bench was weakest. and had not the best chest genetic compared to my other body parts...shittt compared to my legs etc. started doing heavy reps on flat db press...all of the sudden i developed bitch tits
nice bro
+Alex Sung Out of your three big compounds, your bench is kinda supposed to be the weakest.
Malte Alhem no lol of course ur bench is weakest.. I squat on Highbar for 385 and sumo 475. I should be able to hit 275+ on bench being 185 lb bw. But I cant
Hope the same happens to me, my barbell isn't great and my chest is small and uneven lol. So hope it explodes over the next few months
I don't know how heavy these dumbbells are, but my room shook when he dropped them
Says 85lbs
Great video. Short, to the point, and the movement is explained in detail and shown.
Thank you for the advice. Great video
Pinch back push back further back and down xD is how i figured out how to properly arch :)
Jay mentioned the triceps involvement mistake which was really helpful.
Hi Jay, great advice but can I ask , I'm I'm my late 50s and when I bench press plus other exercises I suffer with shoulder pain so would you have any advice. Thanks.
You need to have your shoulder examined and check it's mobility, range of motion and for any impingement or injuries.
The bench press can be difficult on the shoulder as if you don't set up properly to do the lift, this can place excess strain on your rotator cuffs and trigger pain.
I specifically don't do bench press as I can never perform the lift without straining the rotator cuffs and find the dumbbell press doesn't cause me any issues.
If you insist on doing the bench press, try using a more narrow grip and don't bring the barbell to your chest, but a few inches above it. See if this helps.
Red hulk💪🏻👻
I see what I did wrong like I touched the dumb bell and how do you squeeze the chest? like breath in or out? Also what is the best weight to use on ea dumbbells? I just start getting back to the gym and start lifting to lose chest fat
I have a problem when I'm trying to perform chest workouts (dumbbells or barbells) I mostly feel it in my shoulders and arms, instead of my chest.
Does this mean the weight is too heavy?
I can stabilize the weights without effort and I am putting my traps back when on barbell but stays the same.
Help/tips appreciated.
Angle your elbows closer to your body. This should help take the pressure off your shoulders. On this vid Jay has his elbows quite high up but I'm guessing his mind to muscle connection is much stronger than yours and mine.
+EscapeRouteMedia fully agree ! Also retracting your shoulder blades should help 💪🏾
what do you mean closer to your body? do you mean when your arm is out and ready to pull up? and how close?
Seems like your elbows are too high. Try keep your arms parallel with your chest. That way, the dumbbell is over your chest and not your arms. People make the mistake of usually having them too low and there elbows go below their back which is wrong. Keep it in line with your chest and you should come to a 90 degree angle, unless the person doing it has a larger range of motion.
i have the same problem, even when i keep my elbows in, retract shoulders, and keep the dumbbells in line with the bottom of my chest, i feel little activation in my chest and more in my shoulders :/
I have a hard time keeping weights from touching, I do 95lbs for 3 sets of 10-12 but my arms are long so I feel like I'm not doing proper stretch when pressing. I'm going to practice this technique with lighter weight.
I thought this was the football player jay cutler
I’m gearing up later this evening to attack chest using dumbbells , dip exercises and chest flies so I’m here to gain a few more ideas from one of the top bodybuilders.
im a pretty good judge in character an i say he knows what hes talking about
You think 😂😂
666 likes 6 dislikes
i do 30 reps with lightweight 10 heavyweight
I'm finding it really hard to get 40kg dumbbells into position. watching you do this I now how to do it.... thank you.
Jay is great at this
Can I tone my arms in 2 weeks?
I am one of those losers. I did dips today. But I don’t like them as I am big on dumbbell pressing and they ‘mostly’ use the same muscles. Also you have a bit more wiggle room with angle through the push. You only get an hour or so and then you have to go home and heal for a few days so it’s about maximising at the end of the day. Today I had a 55kg in one hand and a 40kg in the other. And then I swap them the set after. Means I can go super deep on the lighter weight and bust out 15 etc. puts a lot of torsion through body which also engages core more. I also do normal sets, and will do the odd set of dips. I find dumbbells after six straight years of doing them easier on your shoulder than dips, but he is also right cos I am a loser and don’t even have a job atm. Lol
Yummy I'm starting to enjoy DB bench. 40KG x2 is my gaol li can now but not in control want clean reps
I sure wish all the people who just let go of their dumbbells would watch this video... they're actually dangerous to the feet of people on the bench next to them.
many thanx jay u r the best

This damn tips really blow my chest , damn , i cant find this tips on other youtubers,thanks
Its always a pleasure listening to Jay cutler. He keeps it simple and easy to understand
Has he torn his right bicep?
I have the same thing on my outer head on my left arm. I haven't ripped it.
@@CornFedZ06 Thanks for speaking for everyone who tore a bicep, but didn't because you didn't rip yours. ghy
muscleinsider.com/news/jay-cutler-partially-tears-biceps
@@JakeJarmel Glad you appreciated the input
Gonna fuck up your shoulders with your arms flared out like that
02:10
WOW have you noticed how he was talking with an Ease to demonstrate the movement while doing the exercise ? and this is not light weight
Whats up with the fading to black and white? Random
Only 4 time Mr. Olympia winner? Nah, I'll pass for someone else with better cred.
Nice mentality, man Child 😂
@@JacksCreates thanks bud.
@@nemonucliosis Nice mentality, man Child 😂 [2]
@@postrock3374 thanks, you just confirmed you're an incel soyboy.
He said 150 pound dumbbells!! Damn.
This dude is Larry the lobster from spongebob
I have seen a couple people say not to touch the dumbbells together. Greg Plitt did a video about doing chest presses and flys a while back. He specifically says to touch the dumbbells together and that is what I have been doing the entire time. Can anybody explain to me why or why not? I feel like I get a nice pump in my chest raising the dumbbells, but as I touch them together it works my arms.
*****
Thanks. Good to know.
+SuperLlama25 Thanks bro
Thank you boss :)
1:21 So you never do the barbell bench press? Powerlifters are they at risk? I'm kind of a powerlifter and I do it.
Has it or is it causing you issues?.
Thanks for the video, great tip
Thanks for the tip i usually always do incline whilst doing this exercise and touch the dumbells together so I'm definitely going to start using this technique from now on 👍
Jay’s the man! 🎸🎸🏋️♂️🏋️♂️
Cutter is great person love u brother 🔥💪🏾
Wow , great demonstration Jason 🤠
He need stroid his arm jamming he offseason 😂😂😂
When i do this my arm shakes
Too much weight
Gregory Mapfumo no that means there’s lack of coordination
Nathan Dean Yes no coordination of control .... because of too much weight.
Jay how to do bench press correctly and how to grow the chest rapidly.
Best chest exercises are squeezing and pushing exercises like chest presses and flys. Growth comes from adequate muscle stimulation, rest to heal and grow muscle and adequate nutrition to build muscle.
You don't look happy champ, you still king among the men
Elijah St Jechisurs tbf jay always looks miserable it just the way he is
jay smash
Jay is my hero 🤘🏼
Why no locking??
red as fuck mate
Get em in man!
Thank you jay
great vid.. Love the explanation
its my favorite chest
The best
c
thanks
Nice
Perfect technique for me.
Steroid lol
Literally every top bodybuilder is on steroids its a must if u really wanna be a bodybuilder at the top level, jay cutler was natural muscular and worked on a farm when he was a kid I think he said he squatted 300 pounds the first time he ever squatted ,he had top genetics from day 1 its not just roids
Dumbbells could be used to correct imbalances but they cause them too unless your form is perfect, and if your form is perfect with Dumbbells, your possibly not going heavy enough for growth. In addition, a barbell allows a wider grip and more weight under control and the stretch feels stronger on the negative portion of the lift for me. The barbell touching the chest in that same sweet spot each time encourages good mind muscle connection.
To imagine Jay Cutler doing Dumbbell Bench Press live demo from the International Space Station, just close your eyes and play the video after 02:14
Thumbs up if you thought it was gonna be jay cutler the QB lmao
Sir u don't need to introduce yourself
As 4time Olympian jay cutler
U r a legend
Everyone knows u
My fav to date
After Phil
Sorry
is my man on ALL the steroids?
U look like a 💩
Question: If you have shorter arms, should you bring the dumbbells down lower?
Thumbs up if you thought it was gonna be jay cutler the QB lmao
Joe “Don’t Press The Dumbbells Together” Rogan
Uh oh. Alpha destiny rules apparently say he can't eh press for shit. Apparently a 4x Olympia champ has no idea what he's doing..😁
How can u say the best is flat bench then u said stay away from it🤔🤔🤔 i don't really understand😥
Any less pixels and this video would be radio...
+legenda
Should I fully extend my arms
HockeyGoalie30 no
doesn't use full ROM and teaching how to get maximum contraction...
bet you're a noodle
did he injure his right arm? it's got a shorter range of motion than his left arm
+nickrunaway2 it's the angle of the shot you dumbass
+NIGGAS
nice troll account you have here. and "dumbass", look at it from both angles. the right arm is shorter in both. good job
Prodr1978
oh ok that makes sense, thanks
NIGGAS
the troll continues
nickrunaway2 lol yeah throw criticism out everywhere but don't look to yourself. good one mate
NEXT
85 pounds on each arm n he does it like nun Jesus
Cmon though, every single strength training coach will tell you, you need to lock out. Rippetoe would cringe if he saw that press.
You dont need to lock out and the idiots in the gym clicking weights are goofs
+Rusty Shackleford wouldn't going for horizontal adduction in this exercise actually be better for hypertrophy. You'll get a much stronger contraction.
+joe nolan is this your version of gay porn so watching this video?? You say it's Gay but you are here watching it??
You'd want to get yourself sorted out. Stop lying to yourself.
joe nolan You are not fooling anyone. Do your family know? Its 2016 relax, no one cares if you are gay as Christmas. Just be honest with yourself and you'll be much happier . . .you won't be angry and lashing out at folks with abusive language.
From what I saw on this you would get more range if you did bench press.
That's true, but perfecting the technique to avoid shoulder strain or injury on the bench press can be difficult for some and do they avoid the bench press
I understand the constant tension concept here but this range of motion is insuffucient. To get the maximum of both ROM and TUT I'd suggest you stop like half an inch before locking your elbows at the top. What Jay is doing is more like a partial rep from the bottom of the motion which has its benefits but it would leave you with a huge gap between your pecs if it was your main chest building exercise.
***** You serious or just trolling?
Different angles and different ways too depending on the functions of the muscle.
He's going up far enough for his chest. He's focusing in chest, not triceps.
ceeloc yeah people think rom means going all the way up or down or whatever, well no, because we aren't trying to destroy our triceps here, just our chest. And it won't be doing much to straighten the hand, the triceps will do that
George Jupin what? If you used commas I might've understood something...
How much wieght
Wow, great video.
