Chest Exercises Ranked (BEST TO WORST!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- There are so many chest exercises, but which ones should you be focusing your efforts on if you want to build a bigger chest and increase your strength? In this video, I’m going to give you the most popular chest exercises ranked from worst to best and help you to determine which you should be doing and which you can probably ditch.

With that said, we have to lay out the criteria for the chest exercise selections. These are in the video.
Furthermore, if there is a steep learning curve to the movement or it is too equipment reliant then it may mot rank as high as some other options that are better and also don’t require as many resources.
With that being said, we start laying out the list and work our way up the rankings from the worst chest exercise to the best chest exercise.
WORST
1. Bench Flys
2. Standing Cable Press
3. 60 Degree Incline Bench Press
4. The WTF Blaster
The bench fly is and always will be at the bottom of the list for me. Not only does it place your shoulder joint at increased risk of injury but there are simply much better and safer options. For these reasons it belongs in the worst category.
The standing cable press being in the worst chest exercise category might surprise some considering how much I prefer exercises that place us on our feet. That said, the weak link in the chain is always going to be your core strength making this a bad selection.
The angle of the incline bench press matters, a lot. Taking too steep an angle on the bench shifts the majority of the work to the front deltoid rather than the chest. Lower the angle as we will later and you take a worst choice for chest size and strength to a superior one.
This just needs no explanation. It was dumb then, it’s still dumb now (just like the person who supposedly invented it).
BETTER
5. Pushups
6. Floor Flys
7. Underhand DB Bench Press
Standard pushups are often times too remedial to provide a growth stimulus (unless they are being done as a high rep metabolic exercise at the end of a hard chest or push workout).
The floor fly, while better is still limited by the amount of resisted adduction that it provides. Switching to cables is going to always be optimal when it comes to resisting adduction of the shoulder and for building a bigger chest.
The underhand dumbbell bench press gives those without an incline bench an opportunity to train their upper chest. Don’t underestimate the power of this move but you better have the shoulder mobility in order to do it right.
BETTER STILL
8. Twisting Pushups
9. Cable Crossovers
10. Bench Cable Press
11. DB Upper Chest Pullovers
Twisting pushups are a harder version of the basic pushup and give you that slight adduction that makes their ability to stimulate chest growth even better.
The cable crossover is a superior way to build your chest since the cables provide better resistance through adduction. The same limitation on balance applies here however as it did in the standing cable press.
The bench cable press is one of my all time favorite ways to stimulate chest muscle growth, just understand it won’t be great for building maximal bench press strength at the same time.
The upper chest pullover is a unique chest exercise that you need to be sure to try at least once if you’re looking for better recruitment of the upper chest fibers and all you have is a flat bench.
ALMOST BEST
12. Dip (weighted optional and twisting optional) step up from pushup
13. Heavy 1-Arm Crossovers
14. 30 Degree Incline Bench Press
These three chest exercises are at the top of the heap when it comes to the best exercises for building a big chest. Watch the video to see the specific reasons why they stand alone.
BEST
15. Barbell Bench Press / DB Bench Press
There simply is no better chest exercise for building a big chest than either version of the basic bench press. While they are limited a bit into adduction they still allow for the most weight to be lifted and the best opportunity for progressive overload and therefore reign supreme.
If you want to make it even better however, combine the 1 arm crossover as a drop set after a set of either version of bench press to get that perfect compliment and take your chest gains to a whole new level.

In over 40 years of working out, I'm learning so much more from your videos than I ever did by paying attention to ANY other trainers! It's no wonder you have over 13+ million subscribers. LOVIN' these 'Best to Worst' vids!
Yeah same, been in the gym 39 years, I have literally changed 80% of what and how I’m doing it. I thought I knew it all. Turns out NO. 😂
This guy is an actual idiot when you get really into weight lifting.

I've never really connected with incline presses well, though I've been doing them for years. Your tip about lowering the angle of the bench totally changed the feel of the exercise for me, and lit up my upper chest. Instant connection. Great tip!
What were the actual angles you changed?
So if you never felt any connection, why did you do them for years? 🤔
I do the flat and 30 degree dumbbell press on chest day. Then on shoulder day I do the 60 degree and shoulder press. Love the way it lights up my muscles!
I think it depends on the individual. 30 to 45 degree inclines work my mid chest with no activation in my upper chest but 60 plus degrees works my upper chest well.
@@huskiefan06 Yes, I did the same changes and totally agree!
Hey Jeff got a video idea: Do’s and Don’ts before/after a workout. I think this could help a lotta people including myself

@@serpentscoil9868 they’re not ineffective the “worse” are just easier and better for beginners who haven’t practice enough for the rest
Take them with grain of salt though, and not as word from god. I 100% disagree with Dips. I used to love them and did them with heavy extra weights too. Eventually they broke my elbow and shoulder. Sure they are effective, but I rank them #1 dangerous excercise,. Way more damaging than bench flys. There are many people who have got into troubles because of dips, just google it if you dont believe just me.
@@samuraidoggy Because you didn't do it right, blame yourself instead of the exercise.
Dips is literally Incline Pushups but you gotta lift your legs instead of resting them on the ground, you have noone else to blame but yourself if you're injured.

@@nomnomyourmom That much is obvious., but it goes to everything. Same with the bench flys. I have never injured myself to those, so fot that argument you should argue with the video as well. Listen to your body, not a single person. There are plenty of people hurt to dips, google it.

For as long as we get muscle fatigue by doing 5-30 pushups, theyre as good as any bench press variant. Even better I'd say, depending if exercising core strength is desirable or not (i.e. less desirable if it affects your output in other exercises the same or next day.)

I like the sitting dip press machine because you can load up past body weight instead of hanging a weight from your hips.
In addition, the fly machine (with grips and pads) keeps constant pressure all the way through, so I feel it's just about as good as the free cable cross.
One of the sucky things about my gym is that the incline bench machine (plates) is so close to a military press, it's not worth it to use for incline press, so I have to make sure I have a spotter if I do the bar and bench.
Great vid - thanks!

i have always done the incline bench press at a small angle around 30-45 degrees. Its just intuitive to me. Any angle higher, I am feeling my delts activating alot more which isn't the primary goal for the incline bench press. For dips, I prefer the calisthenics ring dips over parallels. The stability of the shoulder is key, when its fatigue, I can immediately feel it and unable to manage the dip with form at all. It forces shoulder to first be stable before and throughout the movement.

These are so helpful and informative. Thanks for doing these. Sad to see one of my favorites is ranked so low. I love the bench flys
The body doesn't care where you do it. Raise the surface where you lie on (e.g with towels) to get the stretch (which is different for everyone) if you do floor fly. Or put the chairs on the side if you do bench fly which act like safety nets (like the box in Box Squat).
As someone still somewhat new-ish to the gym, it’s nice to see that most of the chest exercises I already do, are on the higher end of this list
This ranked series is amazing and really help us to understand our exercises, thank yo so much jeff and jesse :)

So far you are the only channel which is making those ranking exercise videos, at least from what I've found till now. The video on ranking back exercises was very helpful. I hope you do more on comparing exercises as well.
The only problem is that you speak a little bit too fast for us who aren't Americans. I wish I could understand all what yoy say
Super helpful, I’ve definitely experienced what he’s referring to with accidental overloading of the anterior shoulder. It’s so easy for that to take over, the pec muscles are actually attacked to bone pretty close to the shoulder so it makes sense that anterior delts would take over with either too much weight or improper form/bad exercises.
This series is dope! straight to the point of effective exercises ! Keep this series going for all muscle groups! and "V" nonsense lmfao! Jeff keep doing this though please!! I have a PT girl who I try to impress and your videos always help!
Update on the girl

Stretches: Ranked Best To Worst
Agree
Yeah good idea
Yea I feel like this could save people a lot of time.
Great demo Jeff.
Thank you for this video. My shoulder started hurting recently and its the Bench Flys that I recently raised the weight on. The angle makes sense its an over extension.
Funfact: every chest exercise done 'wrong' also works the lower back
Perform any workout wrong enough to hit your back and core
Wronger than last time
Do it so wrong it starts targetting the legs
Thank you! I’ve been slowly injuring my shoulder and this helps me understand why. Great vid/breakdown!

You should have rated them “chest to worst”
LOL
Thanks the tips are Great. You’re good at what you do. Mike
The bench fly has given me injuries many times, on my back, close to my shoulders, till I realised if I did them with a smaller opening on my way down (basically the same angle of the floor fly) I would be fine. Your confirmation was all I needed. Thank you.
Exactly, The elbow should be in line with the shoulder, not lower, at least from my experience.
Good to know. Haven't had an injury from them (yet)

The injuries weren't enough? lol
Incredibly well explained video, thanks for the information. I’ll feel much more confident in picking my workouts for chest going forward!!
Great stuff and just what I wanted to confirm. Thank you!
I do some donts cus it feels good and mentally I need it from time to time. Thanks for keeping me up to date on the good and bad over the years at the end I do what I can every day
Jeff, do one of these ranked vids for biceps, please. My life feels incomplete without it.
My favorite chest exercises are the 30 degrees incline crossover bench press combined on a bi-set with the DB bench press! Great tips dude!

Great video as always Jeff. Informative and inspiring. 👍
I really like these ranked videos!! Great idea
My physical therapist said dips are one of the worst things for shoulders and most shoulder injuries are from overuse/repetitive use exercises.
Good therapist. Bad on elbows too. My therapist is also an ex competitive bodybuilder. The poster should know better given he mentions his PT background. Flat bench isn’t popular in my circle either - much better things to do. I’d say the single arm crossover can isolate the best - guess it depends on the goal. Bench is something that is outgrown by most who don’t care about showing how much you can push
Only 3 exercises you need
1 DB Incline Press
2 Flat Bench DB or Barbell
3 Cable flies
the poosh up
Learning so much☺️ love it
Hey! Can you please do a whole series of this exercices ranked ? I'm really looking forward to the back exercices one :D
