      Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? I started using a bench press back in February of this year and have not progressed past 155 because every time I try to progressive overload, my left shoulder or maybe rotator cuff gives out before my chest or triceps do and I can’t get more than 5-6 reps per set. I started training last summer and didn’t have access to a real bench press (f*ck you, planet fitness) until the beginning of this year, and I’ve gone many days feeling extremely discouraged due to my lack of progress. Im trying to keep my shoulders retracted, back slightly arched, and chest out but it’s always the damn left shoulder that gets me.

    • @LordBort
      @LordBort 3 месяца назад +10

      ​@coffinfeeder7732 remember that you can progressive overload with reps instead of weight. If you're having a really hard time overloading with extra weight, drop it and increase reps. That change up after a week or two might help you push past that issue. Also, stretch that shit out!

    • @Cookiekeks
      @Cookiekeks 3 месяца назад +7

      It's crazy how much genetics play a role here. I've been lifting since november last year, gained about 25lbs since then, trained every muscle consistently 2x a week, yet have never been able to bench more than 120lbs. It's laughable, I know, but I really don't know any other explanation other than insanely bad chest genetics. I obviously followed Dr. Mikes advice about retracting your shoulders, keeping the arch, getting a big stretch and so on, but my chest strength is still below that of an untrained male, lol. Not sure what to do about it.

    11:28 THANK YOU for clarifying that for me. In so many videos I see fitness influencers bench up then back and they even instruct their audience that’s how you bench. But whenever I try to do that it feels hella unstable. My arms wobbled back and forth and I can even drop the bar (thankfully on the rack) because I lose my strength/leverage at the angle. I feel most comfortable just going up and down but I’ve always thought I was doing it wrong. I’ve avoided using a bench press because of that. I mean there’s nothing wrong with dumbbells and they’re arguably better for your chest but both are great tools and grow you in slightly different ways. Thanks man.

    Best part of the cambered bar is it forces you to go super wide. Almost illegal grip. Which is excellent for chest hypertrophy and shoulder health. “But wide grip bench hurts my shoulders!” So reduce the weight and make your shoulders strong in that position slowly over time. Git gud.

      Why is better for hypertrophy, I don't think any studies say that. It just changes which fibers are more stimulated. Closer grip hits the clavicular head more since it contributes heavily to shoulder flexion, whereas wide grip would be better for the sternal-costal head.

      @coachkaiPTNC 3 месяца назад +11

      If I remember correctly, Dr Mike doesn’t like dips as much for chest because they focus on the lower chest vs the whole chest. Also triceps often are the limiting factor. But as he said, there’s tons of options so find what works for you. If you want to do dips for chest, you should lean forward and potentially have someone hold your feet behind you. It kinda becomes a deficit decline push up

    • @Distx87
      @Distx87 3 месяца назад +1

      ​@@coachkaiPTNC He's wrong. Dips engage the entire chest; if you lean forward, the chest will be even more involved. The more you lean, the more you create an angle favorable to the chest. Think about it - the more you're leaned forward, the more horizontal you are. Is bench pressing a lower chest exercise? Of course not. Anyway just look at street lifting guys, they do dips only and have huge chest.

    Deficit push-ups with elevated feet are the best stretch I've ever gotten from anything and the explosive improvement in standard push-ups is crazy.

    Why i like my flyes on cable - deep stretch at the bottom and high tension at the top. With dumbbells I feel that I miss out on the high tension all the way.

    For me personally it has to be the dip, weighted sip specifically, i've managed to work myself up to a 70kg dip weighing 82kg myself, and my chest is fairly well developed, i also use the portable dip bars next to my garden wall, put my feet on the wall put my weighted vest on and do super deep stretch pushups with a weighted load, and since the wall is higher than my dip bars i get a upper chest bias, works very well

    I have these deficit push-ups handles since years. I bought them to allievate the pression from my wrists - i'm an over 40.
    At first I thinked push-ups were for 'bodyweight' stuff, with poor outcomes.
    Then I focused on the esecution. Now I think deficit push-ups are a very good finisher for the chest, and triceps, after the main chest pushing exercise.
    You need to go slow on the way down, keeping your body straight.

    3:17 I apply it by putting foam rolling on my back and it provides better stretching.

      I feel like the potential instability here of it possibly rolling could cause an issue with force production though

      @@ThawtsForFood I squeeze the foam rolling into the towel and it becomes very stable, as if it is stuck, I do it while doing pull over.

    Thank y'all for this, just starting my fitness journey, and I was wondering why the chest exercises weren't hitting like everything else. Gotta get that arch going and pinch those shoulder blades. Here's hoping it really helps those gains!
