I love the guillotine press i do it every week once or twice a week. I have been doing it for 20 some years. I have never had any issues with my shoulders. My shoulders feel great. The stretch on the chest with the guillotine press is unmatched.
In fact, guillotine press gets your pecs into a deeper stretch. If it doesn't feel bad on your shoulders, and you have a spotter, it's definitely a great exercise
Everyone's different. For me these actually throw my bench off and I've been trying to unlearn a lot of this. I'd imagine this is because I exaggerate these motions rather than these tips being bad. But recently I've been working with my coach to actively try to flare more, and more-or-less bench straight down.
Exactly...the elbows should be tucked naturally as a result of getting into a better posture. If poor posture was what contributed to elbows flaring, then emphasis should be on correcting the poor posture for elbows to move towards a natural tucked position rather than force the elbows to tuck in while poor posture is still present. The latter would lead to more other problems.
If you haven't already, would you please 🙏 consider making a video of all the best core exercises, if you did, I would follow along to it every other day. Or could you recommend a good core workout video? You're the best! Thank you for all your content!🎉
Also, it is good to practice pullups as slow as possible. Active hang, passive hang and just pulling trough your back will make it kind of impossible to make this mistake as this movement in a straight line will become very hard and unnatural.
For me I used to wrestle so pushing movements are easy, you literally cannot push as hard as possible with poor form in that sport you’ll get ragdolled the strongest wrestlers have the strongest legs core and back all the muscles for pushing. People see the arms as doing the work they just transfer the force, same way the momentum from your arms can travel through to your legs, they transfer the force or rather increase it
I’ve followed this tip since the first time I saw you talk about it, along with the reverse kettlebell warmup for my achy right shoulder, and it’s really done wonders for me. Hardly ever feel any shoulder pain during my bench press now. This channel is awesome.
When you realize what pectoral muscle actually does, you'll realize that even with flared elbows, your still going to get really good chest activation.
@@jedinxf7 that's arguable since the rotator cuff is comprised of 4 muscles. Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and the teres minor. All of those muscles can also be trained to support weight. It's also arguable which position is safer. The cue shoulders down and back can cause nerve impingement in the brachial plexus under the clavicle. I've personally seen it affect a person's ability to raise their thumb. But as I said before, when you understand the function of the pectoral muscle, then you'll realize, you don't have to do any pressing motions to get a huge chest.
Powerlifting vs bodybuilding. These are very different sports. You know if you did any focus with bodybuilding, you'd be tge ONLY one in the market doing so.

Guillotine bench isnt bad for you if you have the range if motion.

Like any lift in you don’t stay tight and use good form you increase your injury risk. Most people probably don’t do it right

Great tip. I've started doing this and notice how much I feel it in the chest as opposed to shoulders.
Learning this after years of abusing my shoulders...😂
How?
When doing one arm overhead press with my right arm I get pain in my rear delt or side delt can you tell me how to fix it?
Very informative, thank you for this video ❤
very fun 😘❤😊

Dudes arms were so shaky 😂
These bots in the comment section are really getting ridiculous.
Other than that, the advice in the actual video is solid.
Indeed, but what Squat University said: move the elbows is the consequence of engaging your lats
it's the same like in correct push ups

yes... and really fucked up rotator cuffs.
