    1. Rotate your hands outward
    2. Keep your shoulders "down and back". This is tougher on the triceps, but that's what we want!

    Jeff used to bench dip badly years ago in one of his first videos, and that's the reason why everyone should follow his advice: he went wrong, studied and improved, creating the solution himself. GG Jeff, thank you for every single video you made/make

      It isnt forever though, after around 7-8 months I was able to gently do exercises which required strength from the rotator cuff/front delt area. Now around a year later I am around 95% recovered. Dont let it stop you training, just be careful buddy

      Rangus hi buddy, sorry to hear you’re having some trouble here and there. It sucks, but isn’t forever... the healthcare system in the UK is very similar in that sense, you will get initially triaged with an leaflet on recovery exercises, a resistance band and some painkillers! If you think your shoulder/bone structure is now a little out of place I would consider chiropractic services - that is in an extreme scenario. Otherwise research rehabilitation exercises for your injury (they seem dumb but they worked for me!). Good luck brother

      Technically, because according to Newton's third law for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Meaning as the Earth pushes up on Joff he's pushing down on the Earth. The earth just doesn't feel much movement because according to Newton's second law F=MA. Because force is the same in both cases but the mass of the earth is a lot larger than Joff, the acceleration of the earth is tiny, virtually 0. But it still technically exists.

    I was a gymnast and I used to incorporate dips into my morning mat work after competition days. If you push your hips well forward, you will avoid all this. I would do the dips on a built-in cabinet and then prop my feet up on two armchairs, so that the range of motion is properly defined. It also makes it a bit more fun and challenging.

      When doing Squats, Deadlifts, and Benching(less so than the first two) you should be performing the Valsalva Manuveur to create intra-abdominal pressure to take force off of your lower back and spine. This helps you deadlift without back pain and get out of the bottom portion of the squat more easily.

    I really appreciate this man's knowledge, consistency and honesty. I have been doing a lot of things wrong and I've injured myself. I even found a video where he tells you the proper way to use a foam roller. Most fitness folks just tell you to roll, but there's actually a method to something that seems so simple. Too many fitness gurus don't know their stuff. He definitely does!!!!

    Hey Jeff, a friend of mine who is a physical educator told me this could harm me. He said:
    Most people have wrist and fingers flexors shortened. This position demands a great stretch and tension of these muscles. Long-term effect = flexor tendonitis and medial epicondylitis.
    Second point, in this hand position the natural compensation is to throw the elbow inwards during the execution. The elbow joint is in gingival, that is, it allows movement in only one plane. With this natural compensation, the joint can wear out.
    Third, the shoulder joint is not simple. We have three external rotator muscles and only 1 internal rotator. Therefore rotating the shoulder internally is a natural position where the body defends itself (since q has 3 structures to maintain stability), while tension in external rotation, it has only one muscle (usually shortened) to guarantee this stabilization. That is, the excessive effort in the internal rotator, in the long run will promote an increase in the protruded shoulders posture (rotated forward) because there will be an imbalance of forces between agonists (internal rotators) and antagonists (external rotators).
    So, can u shine a light here and counter it ? I feel way better doing the exercise as you explained on the video, he insists though, that I do not :(

    I've been having trouble with my shoulders since I started doing front and side lateral raises. I thought those were the cause, but having watched this video, and applied what Jeff said, my shoulder pain has gone! Yeah it's more difficult, but I'd prefer not to rip my shoulders out.
    I also noticed my chest pain has improved as well, could that be linked? A tightness across my sternum, tender to the touch and "cracks" when I stretch my arms behind me. Definitely musculo-skeletal, I'm not having a heart attack or anything!
    Thanks for another awesome video Jeff!

    Hey Jeff, have a quick question about one of your workout programs. I'm on month 3 of the Max Size program and I'm already thinking ahead of what I should do next. Love the workouts and I literally see strength gains week to week. I want to know if I can restart the program from day 1 month 1, but just up the weights. Appreciate all the videos and work you put in!!

    • @rafahernandez9624

    • @JustAnotherZen
      @JustAnotherZen 7 років тому +1

      ask under the QA section in the program inside AX, one of the coaches or others will guide you. my advice would be to do it again with increased weights, you can also begin using different weight levels (lower and slightly higher) from your previous months to increase muscle confusion. he also has a video on that as well.

    Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxo_64lVTGMk7y4aXTPxPOcQ3YTLyQ6kYV I use it almost daily. I've gotten used to the small wobble and it's no problem at all. Love the storage, it folds right next to my weight set in the garage and hardly takes any space. I wish the covering material was a little bit tougher. I have a feeling that in a couple years it'll tear, but the bench is very well priced that I would just buy a new one.3 month usage review. Awesome bench for someone looking for compactness and storage. I did have to drill a couple holes to adjust my preferred seating position and leg bar position but that's only due to my personal preference. It's very sturdy for normal workouts, but for anyone going above 100# dumbbell press it wobbles ever so slightly. I would probably go with a fixed bench if that's the case. That being said i can accomplish 99% of my normal gym workout with this setup. Very happy with the purchase.
