My mom came in when i was watching this, I couldn't explain very well why I was watching a half naked man draw on himself. I quickly pulled up my pants so I think she missed that bit.
@@jawbaw6471 I'm assuming you meant oligarchy? Anyways, the idiom "work together", especially given the context in which I used it, means "to cooperate (with someone or some group) in order to accomplish something." In other words, there should be compromise from both sides in order for Congress to create and pass laws that better the lives of Americans. The problem is the U.S. has become a oligarchy with a few wealthy individuals/corporations calling the shots through lobbying. Congress needs to work for the American people as a whole, not the corporations.
...which is why I'm looking at this video. The chest muscle he's explaining is under developed on my right ride, BUT I can only see it on me because I'm shredded as you say. I'm thinner, but still.
I was just doing this superseted with decline push ups. Great pump in the upper chest. It really helps when you can FEEL how your muscles move. Great info as always. Keep it up.
if he keeps on with such creativity mixed with his knowledge of human muscle anatomy and functionality .. athleanx will become a religion . chest[3:16] Thy shall workout front delt and upper chest together .
Thou. Quote it correctly, you blasphemer. “Thou shalt raise thine dumbbell no further than shoulder height. And lo behold that as thou raiseth thine dumbbell along the path towards salvation of the upper pec, thou shalt travel along the fibers of the upper pec. And he who so performeth properly shall then rest and find redemption in well defined pecs. So sayeth Jeff. Amen.”
Also the other workout I dunno whats it called but its like an incline barbell press/swing. Where you hold one end of the barbell while it is in a corner or locked into a special attachment.
Ignore these silly comments... YOU ARE AMAZING !!!! you have inspired me to go to the gym and persevere in a way I didn’t think possible for myself. I OWE YOU A MASSIVE THANK YOU!!! These videos for free are such a blessing and they are so beneficial. I have see a huge difference in the gains that I make for myself. Pt’s in the gym always seem to muck me about for time till they’re done. Please Don’t stop!!!! Thanks a million!! No. 1 fan over here!!!
G Beez he suggested to stop doing flys because of the risk of damaging your shoulders, in this case it’s much safer for the shoulder because its going against gravity
serious question,, should you lock your elbows out on presses? Push up, shoulder press etc? I've heard locking our takes pressure off activated muscle and decreases muscle fatigue. lowering workout performance.
Not competing just personal advancement and maintenence. Some say a full push up is all the way up, I notice arriving just short of the top I maintain muscle tension. And going all the way up locking out takes tension away.
Jonh wikcer do what it takes to control the weight. long time under tension (unreliefed) helps getting bigger, locking out will happen if you train in a more explosive way for maybe an amateur sport or whatever... my suggestion: mix it up, more fun ^^
Really love this movement - I feel the burn - and I added something from one of your other videos - at the bottom of the motion (I'm doing this with a cable machine, but I'm sure it would be the same with dumbbells) I contract my triceps to force the biceps to elongate to the max, and it puts a bit of a load on it just at the end - I feel the burn in my biceps from doing this, without having done a single curl, because the eccentric portion is right at the bottom of the movement, at max stretch, and it feels like the biceps is holding that weight for that moment at the very bottom. Your mileage may vary..
Jeff, do you have any exercises for stabilizing the sternoclavicular joint. I had a torn labrum in my right shoulder fixed and they cut the end of the clavicle while they were in there. what they didn't know at the time time was i also had a subluxation of the SC joint. the doctor says there is no exercise to stabilize the SC joint and I need to have surgery. they will need to cut the other end of the clavicle to fix the SC joint.
BP I don't think you know what you're talking about nor you get what he's talking about. It's not about gravity per se, it's about the targeted muscle groups (upper chest & front delt), muscles that prefer to work together work together.
You think it makes a difference to change the direction of your arm and target upper chest / front delt? you need to bend over to the side and do a vertical lift to target upper chest. if you are standing up right you will be targeting front delts no matter which direction you move you arm to.
You can improve this exercise by doing the same with the cable - it targets these muscles even more. When somebody who has been watching some of your videos for 3 or 4 years can look at your exercise and improve on it, I think it really means something - you really give all the science behind it and explain it in comprehensible ways so that people really learn this stuff and are able to apply it. You are doing a great job!
I got one of his programs and it's awesome... well worth the 80 or so euros that I spent on it a while back. Really challenging though, not for people who have never worked out and are just beginning.
Thanks for making this video. This became my favorite exercise. It not only helps building chest and shoulder, it also helps me get a better overall posture.
🖒 Thank you for the info. It was very helpful. I have 3 screws in my shoulder due to my rotator cuff but thanks to this video, I can now exercise without pain! You're the man! thanks again!
I've been doing front raises like that for shoulders since I first started training. And it really did help to build my upper chest which for me is a very weak point
Very helpful I like the way he explains everything in detail. Which helps alot when you need to work your muscles in the direction that they need to be worked instead of awkward or out of place movements. Thanks Jeff for making your videos to help us. Ignore the criticism those people are probably lazy couch junkies that dont care about their bodies.
Hey Jeff, thanks for your video, just wanna share my trick to target the upper pec with you, follow this. Cable, 1 arm crossover, rowing position, and the movement is basicaly what you did on this video but the resistance itself isnt downward anymore, instead it pulls you to the side so the pec is working pretty hard on each rep. I usualy go Dropset on that one and try to focus on my upper pec as much as possible. (I remove the handle from the cable and grab it barehanded from the edge, with a hammer grip). I was tryin to find a way to work more of the upper pecs by suppressing the front delt from the equation, turned out this exercice worked very well on me who have upper pecs developement issue, would you try and make a video about it ? It helped some fellows in my gym already, guess it could help a lot of people out there. thanks for reading, tell me what you think. Keep up the good work.
Jeff, as a massage therapist who works with a lot of athletes I really appreciate the breakdown of the anatomy and how to tailor exercises to get around injuries. Keep it up and thanks!
I am a massage therapist too, we get pictures and lectures, but being able to see how it all works from where we see it (on a live person) is awesome!!! I am pretty sure he stays that shredded because it's his job. I am recommending this channel to all my co-workers
Jeff, I'd like to say thank you, I have a shoulder injury bow and your videos not only make sense but make me feel better when I do workouts. I'm a personal trainer and learn a lot from you. You are amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
GREAT video, got yourself another sub from this one 👍. Been dealing with a partial left front deltoid tear for 4 years now and this is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you.
That exercise is even better at the cables. You can get consistent resistance through a wider range of motion and a more isolating angle as well. Something I've seen on this channel.
Jeff is the best guy on youtube. period. Speaking from true knowledge, functional anatomy and science (not the bro kind) and vast personal experience. Always starts with safety and long term sustainability to make sure that you won't pay the price once you pass 40
Holy dolly. Did you make this video for me, Mr. Jeff? I suffer from a supraspinatus & subscapularis injuries and does the same unsupported flyes. This may just saved my health. Thank you so much!!!
Has anybody successfully recovered from an impingement or Ac joint injury, got back to incline and flat bench and also ohp? Would like to hear anybody's experience. Right now I'm trying heal from a shoulder injury.
Joshua Lobato of course, you just have to give your shoulder joints the right amount of time to heal. The bad news is, it varies from person to person, if you have gifted genetics you might heal faster but for the average joe it's gonna take a while like months. I know that it is kind of depressing but just learn to understand that it is what your body can do right now. Try to start with a 50% load of what you normally lift and listen to your body. As you heal, you might still feel some pain when performing pressing exercises, if you feel the pain, stop. Decrease the weight and go very slow and never ever push your shoulder joints. That's how i did it, hope it helps.
Joshua Lobato lol bro listen to this , it ore both my rotator cuffs ( left shoulder and right shoulder ) i stoppes working out for a while bit stayed motivated , all i did was some rotator cuff exercises and i put some ice at night to decrease the inflammation( pain also ) it took a solid 6 months to get better , but during that time a trained abs and legs really well ( they grew alot ! ) and after 4 months into recovery or even 3 , i started upper body workouts , perf ct form snd moderate weights , made sure i never stress the rotator cuff , after 2 year here i am benching an incline of 100 kgs and shoulder pressing 50 kgs total . oh and also got back to flat bench , just make sure you tuck your shoulder blades in and burst your chest out will bench pressing or dumbell pressing . plus your gonna have to avoid certain moves for a while ! you always have to see your hands during exercise ( avoid stretching them past the shoulder and back and thats pretty much sums it up
Joshua Lobato lots of rear delt band pull aparts100 per day, same rhomboids, never bench without doing double the volume of some kind of pulling for prehab, vary the angle,stay light. Expereinced; thoracic outlet syndrome and impinged ac. now prefer ring dips.
Joshua Lobato I've recovered but I'll never free bench again. injury made me realise bench sucks for me. dips and dumbell bench are smooth as fuck on my shoulders. some chest press machines are okay. I'll also never do flys again. gotta think about the long game. if it bothers you, fuck it off.
Joshua Lobato -yes. you should see a D.O. that specializes in Neuro-Musculoskeletal Medicine. do not let anyone cut you for an impingement syndrome. most people I've met that have, have regretted it.
Hey Jeff! Got an achy right shoulder so was interested in your post about this upper chest exercise. I tried it much like you said with the exception that I was using 2 dumbells in an alternate left right motion (just trying to save time). Was cool, but did not feel a lot in the upper chest. But noticing how you flex the upper chest in the video, I decided to switch to a one hand at a time like you did, but at the same time, I placed my alternate hand on my upper chest to feel that the muscle was actually flexing and working at the top of the movement and that worked much better. Guess it helped me with the mind/muscle connetion while also ensuring I was doing the movement correctly. At the same time, I feel the benefit of less stress on the achy portion of my right shoulder. Thanks 4 the info!
I remember a movie Sylvester Stallone did not so long ago and people were talking about his saggy pecs. At the age of 66 my pecs are sagging, I was looking into working the pectoralis minor or clavicular workout. Stallone has the resources and money to correct the sagging pec syndrome so I'm going to say this is part of aging. I enjoyed my youth, I loved those doubletake's the ladies, make the most of life young men.
Hey, what do you think about training shoulders twice a week? i am training since 3 years and i am not satisfied with my shouzlders. i have never had an aching in my shoulders... probably i am not the only one who has this problem. i hope you can help me :)
Hey!!! Used these tips today for chest and biceps day. I felt the BURN!!! I love your vids. Thank you for promoting safe, effective weight training! God Bless you and yours!!!
Ayub Alom He explains the difference, mate. Your body doesn't care what position you're in. This is WAY different than a fly. Who starts off flyes in this position??
Better use a resistance band for that rather than dumbbells. Additionally, reverse incline benchpress actually circumvents the shoulder impingement so that's still an option.
so I have an AC separation in my left shoulder and I was just wondering if this is the only exercise to get a chest workout or is there more because I find it hard to work out my chest with my AC separation
I have a question... 2 years ago I had to stop working out for a while because I got inflammation in both shoulders. So I went to a doctor and she told me that my muscle attachments in my shoulders are very short, and that it is a genetic thing that I cant really change. "They are very short and when you work out, and get the blood pumping, they also get thicker which leaves my attachments very little room to move around in, and thats why your shoulder hurts". She told me that I should avoid doing "wide" pressing movements and only work close to my body, and also avoid going too far down on pressing movements. Is this true, or is there something I can change to make my shoulders better so that I can do propper bench etc?
Outstanding video! I've been suffering from a shoulder injury for years and I was trying to find a way to work my chest without causing additional damage to my shoulder. Thanks man
looking on your structure information I can't help noticing that you are concentrating on two particular areas are doing this formation you are building your shoulder muscle into a tight grip why you a concert rain on your top chess it's really interesting that you're showing this technique unfortunately not looking at the catastrophic damage which may cause towards your back muscle where your shoulder blade is because you were doing this a fair few times you come across a certain comenda Spain like you are tearing your muscles from your actual shoulder blade which may cause a perfect also a tear in this muscle on your back Sue not realising your shoulders very carefully may cause a effect with somebody who has got a sitter particular damage like this
Video is insightful it help to clarify the upper chest to front delt connection. Do you think that using the super set method when weight training has its perk ,is it overkill or should it be used every now and then. Thanks
You know shit's gonna get real when he takes out the Marker...
well, the muscle marker doesn't lie
I love your bio, that's fucking hilarious! Oops, I talked to you, my bad!

Too bad congress can't be like our front delts and upper pecs.
I Will clap your cheeks so hard
You better if you talkin' that talk, sweetie.
If congress worked together we could not have a democracy. We would be ruled by an oliocracy.

So shredded that he can explain muscle anatomy on his own body.
This
Shayantan Shivam Chakraborty thats an excellent point. That's shredded. Fucking shredded.
John Brady its actually crazy I mean profs use mannequins ...but even the mannequin is not as shredded as Jeff Cavaliere^^ lol
Hes so shredded that he discovered new muscles
...which is why I'm looking at this video. The chest muscle he's explaining is under developed on my right ride, BUT I can only see it on me because I'm shredded as you say. I'm thinner, but still.
I tried this and that part of my pecs burned when it never burned before! This is now part of my routine. Thank you!
How do u look defined while relaxing
Jeff Cavaliere's Red Marker pump
Jeff Cavaliere's Red Marker he's like 6-7% bodyfat, he barely has any fat so he's always shredded
Jeff Cavaliere's Red Marker yea low bodyfat/little sodium/ stay hydrated
Jeff Cavaliere's Red Marker that's diet. All diet.
Dude he's cheating on you with a black marker 😯😯😯
Draw (on) me like one of your French girls, Jeff 😍
Best part lf the movie for obvious reasons
I always wanted him to start a video w "my name if Jeff"
Rumpofsteelskin he did not long ago
lol
Giacomo Pelloso lol what was it called?
Giacomo Pelloso oh yea lmao but I meant Like the movie
Rumpofsteelskin he did do that for a new years video like a few days ago
Hey jeff tell a way to fill out collarbone
why am i watching a half naked man draw on himself
dog *on himself.
Bad dog!
To learn!
For science!
if you are not interested in the actual body knowledge or the movements then you are in a wrong place lol
How could i be so blind! You just have to draw your muscles! Thanks Jeff!
Use synthol and take tattoos to hide it like Rich Piana did. respecting his memory 💪🙏
Hahahha
Nice choker you have there Jeff.
Pug lord 117 that's his mic 😂
I was just doing this superseted with decline push ups. Great pump in the upper chest. It really helps when you can FEEL how your muscles move. Great info as always. Keep it up.
Sounds good im gonna try it as a superset to the decline push ups too
Best channel for CORRECT fitness knowledge
Hey Jeff! Could you maybe do a video on how to fix/cure shoulder impingement? Thanks!
Can Bradley Martyn be trusted? He promotes arm day everyday and still isn't nearly as big as Dom🤔
Emmanuel Rojas ask young metro
Ain't no one will ever be as big as Dom
Bradley trains legs so no

It's a dumbbell version of a cable low to high fly.
Yes, exactly.
Andy Arnold remember to do the crossover part though
Also the other workout I dunno whats it called but its like an incline barbell press/swing. Where you hold one end of the barbell while it is in a corner or locked into a special attachment.
Ignore these silly comments... YOU ARE AMAZING !!!! you have inspired me to go to the gym and persevere in a way I didn’t think possible for myself. I OWE YOU A MASSIVE THANK YOU!!!

Vincent Gelvez I do.. if you know you know.. fake is like u start looking all huge asf with no body fat like rich
C Blanco wrong. Rich had implants in his arms and a shit ton of synthol.
Low to high cable fly for the win!
A-men...
Jeff says no fly and then does a replica low to high dumbbell fly?
G Beez he suggested to stop doing flys because of the risk of damaging your shoulders, in this case it’s much safer for the shoulder because its going against gravity
The cable fly tweaked my shoulder so I started doing this instead and seen some good improvement. Variations of similar exercises are great.
Always impressed with your methods to training smart. Awesome insight. #athleanX
KUUIPO GRACE he’s got great info. This exercise is dumb tho lol
Jeff, you´re the man
I am so thankful with you for giving exercises for people with injuries
serious question,, should you lock your elbows out on presses? Push up, shoulder press etc?
I've heard locking our takes pressure off activated muscle and decreases muscle fatigue. lowering workout performance.
Jonh wikcer
locking out -> slightly lower hypertrophy signal, but needed for a complete rep in e.g. powerlifting... what are your goals?
Not competing just personal advancement and maintenence.
Some say a full push up is all the way up, I notice arriving just short of the top I maintain muscle tension. And going all the way up locking out takes tension away.
Jonh wikcer
do what it takes to control the weight. long time under tension (unreliefed) helps getting bigger, locking out will happen if you train in a more explosive way for maybe an amateur sport or whatever...
my suggestion: mix it up, more fun ^^
Bodybuilding: don't lock out. Powerlifting: lock out as required for the specific movement.
Jonh wikcer not locking out could cause injury
God I swear that aside from the fact that Jeff's an amazing PT and instructor, half of his videos are just him showing off his insane physique.
I'm just going to mark my body with several markers and show up shirtless at my gym. Thanks Jeff!
Really love this movement - I feel the burn - and I added something from one of your other videos - at the bottom of the motion (I'm doing this with a cable machine, but I'm sure it would be the same with dumbbells) I contract my triceps to force the biceps to elongate to the max, and it puts a bit of a load on it just at the end - I feel the burn in my biceps from doing this, without having done a single curl, because the eccentric portion is right at the bottom of the movement, at max stretch, and it feels like the biceps is holding that weight for that moment at the very bottom.

That's just a low cable crossover
Mason Knighten lol trust
Mason Knighten. exactly right mason. I think it takes a lot more than what he shows in this video to develop the upper chest

Damn do I respect you always filling paragraphs of all that information. I really appreciate you taking the time to do that. great work!
Hugely Helpful for a guy who's been through a shoulder reconstruction. Thanks Jeff
You can improve this exercise by doing the same with the cable - it targets these muscles even more.

does this guy have any workout programs? his physique is impressive
yes on his website athleanx.com
Flavio A athlean zero i think
more about low body fat
I got one of his programs and it's awesome... well worth the 80 or so euros that I spent on it a while back. Really challenging though, not for people who have never worked out and are just beginning.
Head on over to Athlean-X.com!!
Thanks for making this video. This became my favorite exercise. It not only helps building chest and shoulder, it also helps me get a better overall posture.
jeff is the strength behind the science

he is 8 percent.
Does anyone know his daily eating habits? I would definitely love to go through that.

Jeff is the fuckn man he gives so much knowledge trainers would charge a fortune for....
GREAT video, got yourself another sub from this one 👍. Been dealing with a partial left front deltoid tear for 4 years now and this is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you.
Exactly what i needed..wish I'd known that before..no more shoulder pain. Thank you!
And it works
can you show a complete full body workout Jeff ?
I really like when you show exercises for those with shoulder injury. Thanks!
That exercise is even better at the cables. You can get consistent resistance through a wider range of motion and a more isolating angle as well. Something I've seen on this channel.

good video, been looking for another option instead of fly's for the outer upper chest... would love to see 1for the the inner, upper chest
No such thing as targeting inner chest
No need for Anatomy Charts. A body like his + A Marker will do
This guy is really impressive not only in physique but also knowlege. Keep it up bro. Great stuff.
Holy dolly. Did you make this video for me, Mr. Jeff? I suffer from a supraspinatus & subscapularis injuries and does the same unsupported flyes. This may just saved my health.
Thank you so much!!!
yeah but do it with cable, with dumbell the tension is still vertical cuz of gravity, so it'll work the front delt
If ur a medical student, u really should watch this channel... then u can spit all the body parts back to ur professor... LoL 🤣😁😂😋 A++
For this what would you suggest as far as weight reps and sets?
Has anybody successfully recovered from an impingement or Ac joint injury, got back to incline and flat bench and also ohp? Would like to hear anybody's experience. Right now I'm trying heal from a shoulder injury.
Joshua Lobato of course, you just have to give your shoulder joints the right amount of time to heal.

That's how i did it, hope it helps.
Joshua Lobato lol bro listen to this , it ore both my rotator cuffs ( left shoulder and right shoulder ) i stoppes working out for a while bit stayed motivated , all i did was some rotator cuff exercises and i put some ice at night to decrease the inflammation( pain also )
it took a solid 6 months to get better , but during that time a trained abs and legs really well ( they grew alot ! ) and after 4 months into recovery or even 3 , i started upper body workouts , perf ct form snd moderate weights , made sure i never stress the rotator cuff , after 2 year here i am
benching an incline of 100 kgs and shoulder pressing 50 kgs total .
oh and also got back to flat bench , just make sure you tuck your shoulder blades in and burst your chest out will bench pressing or dumbell pressing .
plus your gonna have to avoid certain moves for a while ! you always have to see your hands during exercise ( avoid stretching them
past the shoulder and back
and thats pretty much sums it up
Joshua Lobato lots of rear delt band pull aparts100 per day, same rhomboids, never bench without doing double the volume of some kind of pulling for prehab, vary the angle,stay light. Expereinced; thoracic outlet syndrome and impinged ac. now prefer ring dips.
Joshua Lobato I've recovered but I'll never free bench again. injury made me realise bench sucks for me. dips and dumbell bench are smooth as fuck on my shoulders. some chest press machines are okay. I'll also never do flys again. gotta think about the long game. if it bothers you, fuck it off.
Joshua Lobato -yes. you should see a D.O. that specializes in Neuro-Musculoskeletal Medicine. do not let anyone cut you for an impingement syndrome. most people I've met that have, have regretted it.

I tried it much like you said with the exception that I was using 2 dumbells in an alternate left right motion (just trying to save time). Was cool, but did not feel a lot in the upper chest. But noticing how you flex the upper chest in the video, I decided to switch to a one hand at a time like you did, but at the same time, I placed my alternate hand on my upper chest to feel that the muscle was actually flexing and working at the top of the movement and that worked much better. Guess it helped me with the mind/muscle connetion while also ensuring I was doing the movement correctly. At the same time, I feel the benefit of less stress on the achy portion of my right shoulder. Thanks 4 the info!
I remember a movie Sylvester Stallone did not so long ago and people were talking about his saggy pecs. At the age of 66 my pecs are sagging, I was looking into working the pectoralis minor or clavicular workout. Stallone has the resources and money to correct the sagging pec syndrome so I'm going to say this is part of aging. I enjoyed my youth, I loved those doubletake's the ladies, make the most of life young men.
This guy is genius, I really enjoy listening to his points. He takes exercise to a different level
Oh no Jeff’s got a marker!!
Jeff reminds me of an old high school teacher. legends among men
Hey, what do you think about training shoulders twice a week? i am training since 3 years and i am not satisfied with my shouzlders. i have never had an aching in my shoulders... probably i am not the only one who has this problem.
i hope you can help me :)
Lighter and more volume of course twice a week is fine.
i do this on cables without handle.
Hey!!! Used these tips today for chest and biceps day. I felt the BURN!!! I love your vids. Thank you for promoting safe, effective weight training! God Bless you and yours!!!
Sounds like Vegan Gains
Nice, needing more upper chest too. good info
basically a standing fly
Ayub Alom He explains the difference, mate. Your body doesn't care what position you're in. This is WAY different than a fly. Who starts off flyes in this position??
alot of people, ever heard of cable flies?
Better use a resistance band for that rather than dumbbells. Additionally, reverse incline benchpress actually circumvents the shoulder impingement so that's still an option.
When ever i try this I feel crackling/popping near my clavicle. Am I doing them wrong?
these are great videos. ive got acromioclavicular problems and you saved my routine. thanks. subbed
It's like you've read my mind, If been looking for good exercices to recover from an injury and none were successful until now !
Yeppers, this is one of my current target zones.weak spot. Thanks, I appreciate the technique examples in this video a lot
Jeff is one of the MOST intelligent trainers I've come across! brilliant stuff
Thanks for this advice Jeff, tried it out today and it really worked!
so I have an AC separation in my left shoulder and I was just wondering if this is the only exercise to get a chest workout or is there more because I find it hard to work out my chest with my AC separation
I have a question... 2 years ago I had to stop working out for a while because I got inflammation in both shoulders. So I went to a doctor and she told me that my muscle attachments in my shoulders are very short, and that it is a genetic thing that I cant really change. "They are very short and when you work out, and get the blood pumping, they also get thicker which leaves my attachments very little room to move around in, and thats why your shoulder hurts". She told me that I should avoid doing "wide" pressing movements and only work close to my body, and also avoid going too far down on pressing movements. Is this true, or is there something I can change to make my shoulders better so that I can do propper bench etc?
I like this movement for the upper chest. I just prefer bilateral cables for the constant tension, ability for holds, etc.
Outstanding video! I've been suffering from a shoulder injury for years and I was trying to find a way to work my chest without causing additional damage to my shoulder. Thanks man
Rotating your hand palm up during this hits even better. I'm surprised he didn't mention this.
looking on your structure information I can't help noticing that you are concentrating on two particular areas are doing this formation you are building your shoulder muscle into a tight grip why you a concert rain on your top chess
it's really interesting that you're showing this technique unfortunately not looking at the catastrophic damage which may cause towards your back muscle where your shoulder blade is because you were doing this a fair few times you come across a certain comenda Spain like you are tearing your muscles from your actual shoulder blade which may cause a perfect also a tear in this muscle on your back Sue not realising your shoulders very carefully may cause a effect with somebody who has got a sitter particular damage like this
Would this be a good exercise for someone with a significantly torn (but still partial) tear of pec major sternal head near insertion point?
Holy shit you look ripped. You are like Bob Ross of muscles.
I have shoulder damage, thank you for taking the time to make this video,.
I hurt my shoulder doing flys for chest today. I skipped this video to go to the gym because it was closing. I really should of watched this video smh
Thanks for all the info. I have both of my rotator cuffs F-ed up
棒棒～感謝～thank you for your video~ from Taiwan
Also hold on with the non-dumbell arm, to a workout station and then cross with your body at a 35 or 45 degree angle...
doing my upper chest today cant wait to try this exercise thank you Jeff
Video is insightful it help to clarify the upper chest to front delt connection. Do you think that using the super set method when weight training has its perk ,is it overkill or should it be used every now and then. Thanks
