Today I want to share with you the only two exercises you need to build a nice, thick, muscular, well-rounded chest. As I have said in previous VIDEOS, you don’t have to do a ton of different exercises in order to maximize growth for any muscle group. If anything, sticking to less exercises is going to allow you to get better at performing those exercises, and as you continue to do more sets per exercise, you’ll also get a lot stronger as well.
In picking these two exercises, I wanted to make sure they were movements that not only utilize all functions of the chest (there’s three of them, which I’ll cover soon), but they’re also exercises that will in fact allow you to overload more and more as you get stronger and build more muscle. Those two exercises are going to be the INCLINE DUMBBELL PRESS and the CHEST DIP.
Exercise #1: Incline Dumbbell Press
The reason why this is a great exercise is because, doing the incline version of a chest press means you are still working the ENTIRE chest, but this is going to place a bit more emphasis on the UPPER CHEST. You can definitely tell in the gym who does incline pressing and who doesn’t, and if you’re one of those people whose chest looks pretty good, but the upper portion is lagging, this is perfect for you.
As I mentioned earlier, there are three functions of the chest. They are:
1. Flexion Of The Humerus
2. Adduction Of The Humerus
3. Medial Rotation Of The Arm
In this exercise, you can take advantage of two of those functions, those being the flexion and the adduction, which is why you’re not going to use a barbell. When you use a barbell, your hands are in a fixed position, so you’re able to do the flexion of the humerus when you press, but because your hands are stuck in one spot, there’s no adduction and you’re not going to be able to squeeze your chest together as hard as you can at the top.
Proper form for this exercise means firstly that you are ALWAYS retracting your shoulder blades and keeping them packed. Then when you get into position, it’s imperative that you’re not benching over your shoulders. Your elbows should be slightly in front of your shoulders, which allows you to press over your chest, then come back down and not have any issues with shoulder impingement. If you are pressing over your shoulders, you might be flaring your elbows out, which won’t engage your chest as much. When you get to the top position of the movement, make sure you are flexing your chest as hard as you can, and keep in mind that the dumbbells can touch at the top of the movement, but don’t bounce them off each other.
You’re going to sit there on your incline bench and do 6 - 7 sets of 8 - 10 repetitions. If you can overload here, which means lifting as much weight as possible, that’s even better, so get a spotter to help you if you need to.
Exercise #2: Chest Dip
As soon as you finish all of your sets on the incline press, you’re then going to move over to chest dips and do another 6 - 7 sets of 8 - 10 repetitions. That gives you a total of 12 - 14 total working sets for your chest, which is plenty to see growth. For the chest dip, the form is a little different to a regular dip. When you’re hitting triceps, you want to stay as upright as possible as you go down and as you go back up, that’s how to maximize the dip to target your triceps as much as possible.

Bro you are one of very few big fitness channels that look at comments and answer questions for people. You are a good guy. I don't ask many questions but I appreciate seeing that you give a damn.
Thanks Mike :-) I do my best to get to everyone! Hope you are having a great week!

How do I build a chest after having 11 vertebrae fused from scoliosis and can only lift 50 pounds
@@haneyguitarinstruction6260 I have a similar issue due to various medical complications (I too am only allowed to lift 50 lb's ) An to answer your question you do it the same way the video states, just use more reps/sets to counter the missing weight. It will take longer but you will achieve a similar outcome for the most part. Slower smooth reps will also help motivate growth. Remember your muscles don't know the difference between you lifting 250 lb's or 50 lb's 5 times. It still had to push/pull etc. the same amount of weight and is going to lead to a similar level of damage to the muscle which is needed to cause growth.
Where this begins to change though is when you get into heavier and heavier weights as the all at once break down compared to over time breakdown does not follow a linear curve for growth. But based on your issues I'd assume you're only looking for more of a aesthetic look rather than competition or anything like that. So this aspect is minimally important for you if my assumption about your goals are correct.
Who else wants a 10-minute video of him just saying “bah-bell”
Lolol.
I've been repeating it for a minute lol
Don't forget the cobs. 🌽🌽🌽
I’ve been watching Scott for years. Bahhbell never gets old.
The exercises look very hod. Lol 😂

you look natty scott.. an attainable physique- props to you. whats your stats? height, weight, rough bodyfat?
I am #Natty4Life my bro! 5'10, 185lbs and around 10-12% bodyfat.
solid numbers Scott!
ScottHermanFitness are you bulking or cutting currently?
ScottHermanFitness
Scott awesome like always just wanted to ask about something I got somewhat confused about
I think you said in a previous video that if you don't have a big chest to begin with the incline or decline benching or focusing on upper chest and lower chest a lot more would not be as effective how about these 2 exercises now do they help if someone has a little chest at the moment or do you need to do flat bench pressing first in order to fatigue the chest and after that these 2 exercises
Love your accent mate! Baabell! Never gets old!
Thanks Marios you are too kind my friend :-)
Loved that! 🤣
Build ah noice, rouhnd, masculah chest
Not usin ah bah bell
Got that Boston accent going HAAAAAHD in this video :-D
@@ScottHermanFitness Boston? You don't sound like Julia Child. LOL
Build more mascle
Train HAHDAH!
But not with a bah bell.
Magic and muscles? Fancy seeing you here haha
get more strawnger as well
Hajahahhahhhahha ALL THE SPELLING WHET THA FACK
Was just about to hit chest and triceps. Thanks Scott, this is great
Awesome!! Have a hardcore workout brah!
Thanks brotha! Will do 💪 (btw I'm only 16, working out for almost a year and I've been getting outstanding results, and a part of it is thanks to you 👏✊
Wheeen taaaaaargeeeting the tcheeest!
TAAAHGETING!
Awesome Scott! Thank you for this .... hours at work have increased drastically .... 13-14 hrs a day now so gym time is starting to lack. This will be perfect for chest day to go into gym and hit it! Never disappointed when I see these notifications! Keep pushing.
Damn that is a loooong day Noah! Good on you for still finding time for the gym though - keep it up!
Scott the OG and only fitness you-tuber to constantly read and answer all the comments section 👍
Always doing my best!!
Again ... another excellent video! I always do the incline dumbbell chest ... I agree ... it's one of the best! I've recently started to incorporate the chest dips. You're correct ... it takes a lot of practice to perfect, because sometimes it feels like you're working the triceps too much. But the forward slant takes time to achieve ... I'm almost there! Thanks, Scott, for sharing your wisdom ... you totally rock!
Yeah it can be a learning curve, just like anything, but totally worth if for all the gains you'll recieve once you have it nailed down!
BAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHBEELL
BAAAAAHBELL!!!
That was such a good one!
YESSssssss!
LeGOAT James never gets old 😂 love how Scott embraced it and didn't go crying and get all offended like so many people would these days in society
tubbyrainbow111 i know right! This is now my favorite channel.
Thanks Scott I was actually having a pretty hard time growing out my upper chest,I appreciate it.Have a good day Scott also keep up the good work
Happy to help my man! Hope you are having a great week!!
You too Scott.Also keep breaking your limit
True natural!!! Guy struggles to gain muscle for years (as natty) , but year by year I see improvement in his phisique! Big RESPECT
I want to know where he bought Liu Kang's pants from
I always loved dips, as I'm pretty strong on that motion, but I've found that they pretty much wreck my shoulders. I've tried different forms and technique, but I always get shoulder soreness afterwards. ...So, I've decided to avoid them from now on.
Have you tried warming up your shoulders thoroughly before dipping? How To: Shoulder Warm-Up: Increase Mobility & Injury Prevention! ua-cam.com/video/OENxC3bgAEs/v-deo.html
If you do the like this they will OMFG Soo WRONG
Great combination! I use this combo as my second upper body push exercises with the first being regular bench press and dumbbell overhead press. It‘s nice because you don‘t get bored of it do quickly and if you do, you just switch dumbbells for barbells and vice versa. Dumbbell version of dips: decline dumbbell bench press. Cable cross overs can also be nice as a finisher exercise.
Sounds like you know your body pretty well Tim! Keep making those gains man! Have you thought about trying my Cheat & Recover program too? muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
Very informative Scott!
Ive only been lifting for almost a year(15 years) and now ive been making progress..in December biceps were 10.5 now they're 12.5..bench went up from just the bar to 115, hence making strength gains in everything
Good shit Scott! You’re one of the realist old school fitness UA-camrs, thabks for the content man
Any time man, I am here to help!
I literally guessed these two because they feel the best when I do them and it’s the only exercise I do along with flys for chest (no bench press)... of course switching around to barbels every other workout...
Nice Abbas I like the way you think! Maybe you could try switching to my Cheat & Recover program next time you want something different! muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
Perfect video!
I've given up on barbell bench for the time as I just find it a very awkward movement (Tall guy here) and focus on flat bench dumbbell press. Since doing that I've noticed big changes in my chest routine.
I'll try your tips in this video in my chest workout tonight and see how it goes!
Nice Derrek! If your upper and lower portions are lagging a bit these will help a lot!
Scott you are doin a great job...keep up the good work....you know there is a ton of stuff available on youtube but after all the head banging and brain storming there are only 2 channels I have been following for 1 year now and one of them being yours... keep rocking and godspeed..!!
That dip hack is GENIUS!!!
Glad you liked it!! Hope it helps you bro!

Natty Boiii, great advice! Just finished push day and glad I saw this video and knew I was doing it right, but instead of dips I was doing decline bench press.
i everytime use your tricks and everytime my muscle shocks and i get insane soreness in muscle
thanks
Awesome!! Keep making those gains my friend!

TAHGET IT SUPAH HAHD!
I have been taking this approach for the last three weeks and wow has it made a difference. Glad I watched this video. You earned a subscriber. 👍
Dude, this is perfect! Chest is my main area for this week. I'm going to enjoy this!💪👍
Have fun with it Maurice! Your chest will be sore after this I can tell you that much! haha.
I fell in love for chest presses recently, both in incline and straight benches and with dumbbells and bahhhbells. Wish i could pass an entire week doing just chest presses, but the fellows must rest.
Nice video Scott, keep it up.
U still love chest presses fam?
Was just thinking of cutting the number of exercises I did today, and this yay
Just do these two and you will have an AWESOME chest pump!!
Don't you need to add in a differen't variety of exercises so you can hit your chest from differen't angles to make it grow? Chest is not a problem for me anyhow, triceps are however. And chance you can make a vid for your triceps?
for triceps I would advice the tricep pushdown. It made me grow a lot and even more if you perform with perfect form. When pushing down try to let the cable go down in a straight line. Many people make the mistake to push it down and to their body but there is more tricep acitvation when the cable goes straight down and it's a little away from your body. Don't start with heavy weight just feel the muscle
Perfect Scott. That's exactly what I've been trying to find!
I struggle more with upper chest not lower.
Thanks a lot. Wish you all lived closer to us. Atleast I found you here. Awesome man, thanks again.
Chris
You should do a video like this for the back as well. My guess: Pullups and t-bar rows.
I might be able to do more videos like this! If you want a good back routine, just do my PULL workout from my Cheat & Recover program! muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
Thank you very much Mr. Scott Herman. I will execute these movements on my next trip to the gym.
Your all natural, I love it!!
Thanks bro! #Natty4Life
As of February 2021, this video (from 34 months ago) is the last video Scott made that got a million views. Crazy how he was one of the biggest fitness youtubers just a couple of years ago.
This dude is a good sport!
Thanks man!
@@ScottHermanFitness Yeah mate
You are truly a great sport
Literally all of your comments are about your accent and you dont discourage yourself because of them.Instead, you laugh at it with others
What a true legend
When I first clicked on this vid, I thought I would only learn about chest exercises but I ended up learning much more
Thx!
Did this work out the last 2 weeks and loved it. Whole chest feels destoryed after.
Great video on how to tahget the chest. Can you make one on how to target the chest now?
No way.. you have to TAAAAHGET it to really get it to grow :-P
The quality never stops! I’m in the airforce now and it’s nice to know you’re constantly hooking us up with only the best 🔥🤙
My chest has never necessarily been "lagging" BUT I was still looking for new stuff to get growth. hard as a natty but time to go back to basics and stimulate some growthhhhh BAHBELLLLLLLL TIME
Right on Brandon! Natty gains are still the best!!
No not using BAHBELL bro use DUMBBELL xD
u right, just had to make the accent joke lol
These 2 exercises do provide incredible results. I actually had programmed these 2 same movements on my worked just 2 days ago-- I did 8x8 for both. 2 days later and my chest feels like it still has a pump.
Nice David! You must have read my mind before I released this video! haha. Keep up the great work man! And maybe try my Cheat & Recover program if you want to get that awesome pump and gains everywhere else :-D muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
I shall try the chest dips on my next chest day, I normally do the Tricep version.
I can do them unassisted but I tend to do them on the assisted dip machine as it makes my shoulder hurt.
The life of chronic pain
Yeah that must be rough Simon :-/ Just do what you can bro! Keep making those gains!
Every muscle group please, this would be a very helpful series !
I was thinking the same thing!!
Please do a sarm video. I’ve been thinking about buying and using at a low dosage. But I’m waiting for you to speak on the topic.
I have a video that I am working on. Wait until I release that to make your desicion. They are not for human consumption just so you know.
Thanks for the info man. I’m part way through my cutting program and will be starting cheat and recover when finished. I’m looking forward to the gains. Keep up the good work.
Awesome man! You know you can use C&R while cutting too if you like, and then just go into a surplus once the cut is over?
ScottHermanFitness never stopping with the helpful info.
Right on dude I appreciate it! #StayEpic!
#Epic4Life man! haha. You started my Cheat & Recover program yet?! muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
Starrrrrted and now we get haaaandles. Love it :)

Thanks Soham you are too kind :-)
Bawbell LMAO THAT ACCENT IS SO CUTE 😂
Haha thanks :-D
Scott..once again.. You've come at the right time. Its chest day tomorrow baby!
Awww yeah!! Perfect timing!!!
Hey scott, i need ur help
•How many days should i workout for muscle growth, whether it is 5days or 6days
•(How many days should i rest in a week 1day or 2day)
•If it is 2day, can my rest say be like sat and sun????
Thank you, a fan of urs from india
A 5 or 6 day split is good if you have time for it, definitely! And yes you can rest on Saturday and Sunday - whatever works for your schedule bro! Start my Cheat & Recover program if you want to work up to training 6 days a week! muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
How many days you work out depends on how fast you can recover and how much stress you are under. If you are a student(less stress) and sleep well(good rest) you can easily workout 6 days a week but if you feel under recovered try 5 days a week.
@@kushalsharma2122 Student and less stress?😂
Thank you.. this is a confirmation that i'm doing something right.. now i'm just gonna lessen a few routines that i don't need.. big help.. thanks again..
I really inspired Scott . Great.
A big fan of you from Sri Lanka
Thanks bro I appreciate the support!
+1 for keeping it simple, and for providing rep and set suggestions
6 - 7 sets
VOLUME!!
pheww
Yeah yeah! Volume builds muscle!! You should try my Cheat & Recover program.. now THAT is volume! And heavy lifting :-D muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
Volume builds muscle!!
so this is the opposite to what dave palumbo says
@@SuperMraposo oooh yes 3 by 10 is killer
@@SuperMraposo dbol is another
so 12-14 sets per week?
is it overtraining if I do 18 sets for chest?
Great video, as always. Looking forward to doing these.
Thanks man! Enjoy!
Due you should really use stickers in the shape of the muscles you target.. it would be a great addition to visuals.it mightbe uncomfortable but it would really look good.
Maybe I can make sore additions like that - or highlight the area or something. Thanks for the suggestion!
Max Paul you totally fucked that paragraph up but I get what you're saying and I agree.
I’m giving this a shot, will be my chest routine for a while. Sounds good and provides growth for the whole chest. Love your videos man! Stay natty!
Awesome!! Get those chest gains man! And maybe try my Cheat & Recover next when you are ready to overload for MASSIVE gains! muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
I have a problem with dips, when I go down I feel a lot of pressure in my front delt and because of the pain I can't do many reps

Not as natural as Kali.
insanity. nothing wrong with being a smaller fit man. who's to say otherwise? steroid abuse is a bad idea. a little goes ALONG WAY..
Bruce 1253 so a 70 kg martial artist can win against an 100kg martial artist who is taking steroids and lifting heavy weights ,thats your opinion?
Bruce 1253 do you really think an ant can beat a dinosaur. Hohohohoho
Awesome video. I loved the alternatives to the dips because I find them challenging. Thanks!
I'm 17 and I'm following a perfect diet and nutrition program. Should I consider taking creatine during cutting?
You can.. but you don't NEED it. You're only 17.. why are you cutting? Unless you are obese, you shouldn't be cutting.
Agreed, I've been training since I was 16, I'm 21 now and have never done a cut. I sit at around 10.5% bf, the good thing about having youth on your side is being able to grow and stay lean at the same time.
Hahah cutting is for gnarly old dudes like me, once you're in your mid 30's, have put on a ton of muscle but also jacked up your body fat %. Just DON'T do what I did and be powerlifter fat for years, cuz it takes years to get that shit back off again!
robowarriorx xx I'm just hoping I can stay young forever. And I have no interest in going down the powerlifter body route!
I was staying at a decent point for a long time, but got to a point where it just sort of happened..and when you are hanging out with other guys who are all in the "300" club, as we all called ourselves, its was to be like, yeah I'm fat, but I'm married, and I'm strong, so who cares? And then you either get sick, get hurt, or just get tired of having to buy 3x+ shirts! Lol but seriously though, don't ever fall for the idea that you need to bulk, you only need like an excess of 500 calories.. Sure I was squatting near 500, but I was eating like 300 gram of protein a day, probably close to 6000 calories with carbs and stuff, too. Strong like a bull, and fat like one too! Lol :D
I agree 100% with your 1st point about focusing on less exercises. I made a video a few weeks ago titled, The Only Exercise You Need To Build A Bigger Chest. It was a case for the bench press as the only exercise needed.
O.K. People can we stop with the comments about Scott's accent! It's like telling the same "knock knock" joke over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over!!!!!
shut up.

This will help me alot thank you. keep up the great work Scott
Both chest dips and tricep dips aggravate my left elbow in a major way. I can do a lot of reps but after a dozen it starts to cause me pain. Should I quit doing tricep dips and find another exercise, or is this something I can work on with the right stretching or mobility work?
Do you warm-up your elbows with light tricep exercises? Do you get pain on any other movements? Been to see a specialist about it? Post with some more details about the injury in my forums for help. www.MuscularStrength.com/forum
Try a straight bar dip. If that doesn’t work, try a decline bench. The regular dip angle and my elbows don’t get along as well. I get my elbows a little wider for a straight bar dip and it’s more similar to a bench press. YMMV.
It’s that your elbow is getting used to it, u probably weren’t doing much exercise before
Great video. Sometimes simple and clear is so much easier than over complicating. 👍🏻
The are literally the exact two exercises I do for my chest lol
You sir, have a great chest routine :-D Tried my Cheat & Recover routines yet?! muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
Yes!
Flaxlax is your chest well developed?
Thanks a lot for these tips. Surely, will add this to my routine
Keep up the great work 💪🏿
Scott, you're the man! from a Londoner who lives in Dubai. Keep em comin. And for what it's worth, I love the accent #BaAaabel
Solid. I typically do cable flies, flat bench combo presses with dumbbells, pec deck flies, and close grip barbell presses but will incorporate these two moves now. Id be interested to get your take on decline bench press. Rarely see anyone do that at the gym.
I'm not a big fan of decline pressing. It can be useful, but I feel like your shoudlers/triceps get involved too much compared to dips. If lower chest is a major weak point, it would be beneficial.
ScottHermanFitness I agree. I've done them before but never found them to be useful . Thanks for the feedback.
When i do dips, i always stop the movement when my shoulder started to feel stretched and uncomfortable, is it a good enough range of motion or should i go a little deeper
Hai Vu Hong your shoulders shouldn't go beneath your elbows, this much depth is healthy
Always informative, thanks for sharing!
I always had a tough time feeling my upper chest and I learned about Chest shrug from Alpha Destiny podcast. I have just done it once. I don't know how to correctly perform that exercise. Can you please look into it and make a video. Please look into this out of the box exercise on Nether Beast Underground Muscle Shaman, as it seems promising.
Yeah I will have to look into it more.
Hey man, i think this might help you out. A regular db press exactly as scott explain in his video for the entire workout. Yes, this blew up my chest more than any incline has. Practice that and you will understand why you never need anything else. Good luck
I can't do incline because it hurts my neck so i am forced to get the most out of my chest without involving too much uneeded pressure elsewhere
I like that joggers, it looks futuristic but not too fancy
What if i only have equipment for the incline dumbbells but not for the chest dip? what would be a good alternative?
Do you have enough dumbbells that you can put some dumbbells UNDER your bench, and turn it into a decline bench? That would be my suggestion!
ScottHermanFitness Like putting the dumbbells under the bench?? I wonder how that could make a decline for chest. Can you explain more brah? Anw good stuffs as always@!
preciate the input scott, will give a shot.
What about single bar dips
You mean like after you've completed a muscle up? If you can lean forward and get enough ROM to target your chest, sure!
I am saving these minimal exercise videos in a playlist. Thanks
When ever I do some chest exercises. I feel that my left side of chest is pumped but not the right side. My right inner chest is also weak what should I do
May be because you are using your left side more, are you left handed? Try to keep the bar or dumbbells the same height and movement the whole time.
Damn Scott, the best thing abt ur vids are that u explain every possible detail, and unlike most other workout videos; I'm left with absolutely no doubts at the end of it👍
I do my best to make everything as easy to understand as possible!
Scott do you wanna lock out on dips? I heard guys say never lock out, as it puts alot of pressure/strain on your elbow? I lock out and have never had an issue.
ALWAYS lockout and flex. Guys who say dont are just weirdos... lol
ScottHermanFitness Thanks for the response mate. I shall continue with the lock out.
Stephen if it's bad on their joints they just have bad joints or Arthritis. Does lifting cause that? Anything physical can if you over do it for extended periods of time i would say if someone did thousands of reps of a movement each month for months on end. Or even if someone did hours of the punching bad wrong for thousands of punches a month also. Or just did the exercises before they were lean enough to do them, or strong enough probably would cause other problems too.
Don't worry man
Weirdo checking in lol...
Elbow lock outs may be dangerous when the vector of the force is going parallel to your arms + heavy weight. Otherwise ignoring a lock out would simply "eat" a portion of the movement amplitude.
Nice video its good to see a nice guy giving some good instruction with no fluff
Gonna go try it now. Those dips are gonna kill me lol
Yeah they are.. but in a good way haha :-D
Yep. My chest will be sore tomorrow lol
Never seen a dip performed that way! Honestly though even just doing pushups between two benches or chairs like you have shown here will do wonders for you, 100 pushups at home between two chairs or w/e, done off and on through out the day...pretty powerful stuff! Good vid man, dips are really underrated, and honestly probably better than a decline bench, and safer when performed properly. Guys like Vince Gironda wouldn't even let most people bench, he only let them do dips, and people got amazing results. Another great vid, man.
Yeah man. Some trainers will actually have you do dips, dips and more dips (weighted) when you hit a plateau with your chest. It's actually really good for building strength too!
Holy ballz Scotty boy awesome stuff!! you actually made the perfect video to make my point but if you can help a bro out i would appreciate it! So,I'm 34, I've been lifting for around 4 years now. this year specially ive been seeing some crazy gainz on my Dumbbell bench but since i literally HATE the barbell press i never done it for like more than a year. So ive decided to stop being a little bitch and start benching again but ofc i suuuuucked. My bench was abysmal. So here is my question. Ive been doing both the exercises you mention here and more and actually im entirely happy of my chest gainz. Can i skip the fcking barbell bench entirely and keep pushing my dumbbell strength since im already doing great there? Thanks for all the great content dude!! You're a beast!!👊💪
Glad I have been able to help bro! You can stick with these two exercises if you goal is purely muscle gain yes. If you want to lift as much weight as possible, then I would do more barbell pressing. But if you're all about building muscle, then these will help you with that by targeting the entire chest!! If you want to, you can even substitute these into my Cheat & Recover program instead of the BB bench press! muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
ScottHermanFitness wohooo hells yeah my man!! I knew i was doing well!! Fck all the bro sience dudes telling me "uh bruh..you need to barbell bench bruh.." Love you scott!! 💪💪💪 (your cheat n recover method is crazy gainz btw!!)
Good stuff as always Scotty.
Hey Scott, what are your thoughts on the straight bar dip? Personally I get a better squeeze on my chest this way. P.s. videos are always awesome💪🏽
You mean straigh as opposed to bars that get wider like mine? That's fine too - you still get that medial rotation which is what you want! Thanks for watching Patrick!! Have you started my Cheat & Recover program yet? Take those gains to the next level man!! muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
I think he ment doing dips on a bahbell basically (saw that on athleans x youtube channel)
ScottHermanFitness he meant doing dips on a single bar like when you do a muscle up then you do dips on the same bar
Different exercise
THIS IS AWESOM WORKOUT SCOTT, AND IN MY OPINION U AV A NATURAL BODY COMPARE TO OTHERS, KEEP IT UP AND KEEP MOTIVATING ME, I WLL TRY THIS TOMARROW ON MY CHEST DAY
Thanks for the kind words Zaheer! Hope you get a sick pump with these movements!
BAAAHHHHHBELL BENCH PRESS

As much as find his accent funny and that I want to buy him a shirt, the dude seems like a genuinely good guy. Keep up the good stuff
