That one demonstration of the hand on the chest and the difference between 90 to 45º inclination made this video one of the most educational I have ever seen, TY!!
Me too, and I've tried different ways of figuring out the best ways to put my hands and elbows In the right position and best position for lifting. That sums it up.
Yeah, these are the 3 exercises, but the video also shows ho to do them right and how many people do them wrong which takes the workout away from the pecs. Too lazy to watch a 9 minute video? Maybe working out isn't for you.
I’ve only done these exercises twice in the last week and I can already feel the change in my chest. They’re gonna prove extremely helpful in preparing me for the restart of sports here in Italy. Great videos mate! Cheers.
The specific guides on direction and angles with the Chest and pectoral Muscles lesson makes this video on of the best ever on how to appropriately Build a fine Chest.
DUDE.... YOU ARE THE FIRST GUY TO EVER EXPLAIN HOW TO PROPERLY KNOW IF YOU ARE BENCH PRESSING THE RIGHT WAY! I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER!! IM SUBSCRIBING FOR SURE!
@@thenew4559 Yeah... they dont explain it like this guy did. He explains well how to know if you are doing it right or wrong. I've watched countless other videos and nothing like this one.
@@sssvincere1103 welp im glad this is the first channel I clicked on then. I also didnt know this but Im a scrony dude with no muscles and I can barley do a push-up because my chest is weak and my arms are like 10 feet long.
Wow....i been bent armed doing flyes all my life....taught this way as a child.... now realize I needed to straighten my arms at top....and I passed on the bent arm dB flyes to people throughout the years.... thanks coach....your way makes more sense....
Putting your hand over your pec exercise was golden. I work in a gym on a college campus and will use that to help educate the young men and women here. Great and informative video.
I been lifting for years off and on and back in last two wks I’m glad I found ur video had no idea about how u said to do the flyes. Definitely trying this out tmmrw
loads of other video spend majority of the time talking about "People say ABC is the right way but they are wrong", and they never get to the point. This video was awesome and the balance between Words/Science/Demo/Explaining was perfect. The left hand to feel the muscle was a revelation and after many years of benching you've opened my eyes. If I get half as ripped as you dude I will be happy...one new subscriber
This is a great bodybuilding channel- no petty gossip, no skits, no BS. Straight business and factual information. I’ve learned so much here, I hit that bell thank you!! 👊💪
my chest go so much bigger in 8 month just bench pressing a friend i didnt see in a year was like "wtf your chest is huge" i told him my eyes are up here bro"
Man youre words have substance. Compared to some other channels that talks a lot and makes me more confused after watching instead of learning. Good job
This is one of the best training videos i've seen recently. Filled with good detailed information that is easy to take in. I like your minimalistic view of training. Subscribed.
Btw, I am so grateful for your demonstration of technique with hand on pec and elbow alignment. I've never done the bench press correctly, according to this and will correct my technique immediately. Thank you so much.
Spot on! I am 71 and have been lifting since I was 14. I consider myself a lifetime student of health and fitness. Lifting has served me well, making me a devoted believer. I agree with everything you say ... personally I like a little wider grip on the bench press but not so wide as to jeopardize the shoulder joints. I agree about the decline press being a waste of time ... better to do dips.
@@kayo5011 Thank you. I am sure you will be. Just don't quit. It is a creative process that takes patients. Balance the stress with the right amount of rest and you will do just fine. GL :)
The reason I love chest day is because I can get in a lot of different lifts. I can go heavy, medium and light, incorporating lots of different muscles serving many different functions. It may not be the optimal way, but I get a lot of work in and it definitely works for me. Then there are the days when time is lacking and I hit a few basic moves real heavy, so I get that also.
I started doing press, incline and fly with dumbbells at my house for about 6 weeks now, once a week. It’s noticeably making a difference. Instead of my shirts being tight around my waist, they’re now tight around my chest. I still have a long way to go, but as far as chest, I’m definitely on the right path because of this video. Thanks! 💪
Your form is excellent. My only minor criticism would be that people should do their weights more eccentrically than throwing them up and letting them drop. Take any of those exercises and reduce the speed of how you're doing them by half and watch how much harder it is. That's how you build real strength.
Totally agree. I came to these conclusions from my own personal experience with what works best. Trial and error. I will share this video with my beginner friends.
haha,,I was thinking exactly that and then I read your post. Damaged rotator cuffs, strong shoulders but weak chest after working out on and off for 25 years. Don't flare the elbows! Got it.
me too, but i saw a bench press master from spain and he also uses this style, since 2 years ago i been growing up my chest and i have like 17 years training, we never stop learning
bro you can make this video in 30 sec only!! 1.Bench press, barbell or dumbbells 💪🏼 2. Incline bench press, barbell or dumbbells 💪🏼 3. Chest fly dumbbells 💪🏼 or cables
I agree as a whole. However flyes with dumbbells are potentially injury prone for abduction. So I would prefer floor flyes or the cable crossover/ pec deck. Chest dips could be an alternative to flat bench or as a fourth exercise. Decline press if a declinable bench is available.
@@thenew4559 Any exercise is risky, dangerous or injury prone if not done correctly. And due to the following -Not warming up the joints or muscles. -Not set up correctly. -Not using correct form or posture. -Not moving through the correct range of motion. -Putting your body in compromising positions. -overtraining, too much intensity, volume or frequency.
This was the best most informative video you ever made! If you keep this up I can see you becoming bigger! Going to get that book of yours today! Nice job!
Just found this channel. I have to say, your voice + style of speaking makes me feel like I'm playing through the tutorial of some sort of fitness video game or fighting game trainer... I'm expecting unlocks and achievements! 👍💯
This is a very useful info man! I've been bench pressing ang having push ups the wrong way all this time. I guess it's fine because it's just been 3 weeks.
Jack Adams pretty sure that’s what he was talking ab with the clavicle connecting upper chest muscles as well besides talking ab the entire chest as a whole
Yeah man you recommend fly's just like Arnold always loved doing them but Athlean-X hates them with a passion and tells everyone not to ever do them so it's just kind of interesting.
I want to download the program offered "7 Hardcore Chest Training Strategies for Massive Growth", but when I click on the link there's no place to order this DVD. How do I get it??
Dude, I’m an Athlean-X and Herman fan.... sometimes though they get a bit loud and stressful. Reason I like your calm approach. And the hilarious pants! And when you us the word “bullshit” in your other videos.
That's a great video and valuable info - figured that I was doing Chest Press definitely not correct - and I understand where I also put too much strain on my shoulders... - great stuff, thanks so much!
Thank you muscle man! I've been doing the bench press with my elbows out and that is a problem. I've had someone tell me that before but it didn't stick. Putting my hand over the pec and doing that push as I have been lifting on flat bench and I can totally see how that doesn't grow the chest. I'm gonna lose this bird chest soon.
great video, can you do a home gym workout? show how we can get a great workout at home with some minimal equipment. from this video i can see i need an incline bench and some dumbells. nobody to spot me, so i think I'll stay away from barbells, also no space and limited funds! I subscribed.
@@Jayskiallthewayski lol dude thats almost every comment section on every social media website. Its the new norm for miserable people who are losers IRL
I just started doing dumbbell bench press before watching this video. Never have tried dumbbell flies though. I always clink the dumbbells together at the to show myself I brought them in enough.
I want to say that I have trained for years and only recently have I been getting descent gains on my chest because of an increase of mind muscle connection due to more and different chest exercises. Super Human You is a great example of a channel who gives a variety of chest information but that’s also backed by science.
That one demonstration of the hand on the chest and the difference between 90 to 45º inclination made this video one of the most educational I have ever seen, TY!!
I agree! I've been doing it wrong this whole time! Fml haha
I agree. I've never had that demonstrated before. I have just discovered this channel, I hope that there are more videos with similar demonstrations.
Me too, and I've tried different ways of figuring out the best ways to put my hands and elbows In the right position and best position for lifting. That sums it up.
Agreed. You'll never see offensive linemen push people around with flared elbows...Makes sense
