Okay, I'm a lady and have been exercising lately with light weights jus for toning, had a feeling I was doing something wrong when my right shoulder hurt more than my left b/c my left arm was more angled, makes sense sweet to see this!
I have heard that you want to pin your shoulders back / retract scapula. It might be that pushing forward with the shoulders is whats bad, not sure though
I’ve had to look for videos within the past few minutes to make sure I’m not doing it wrong since I see a bunch of guys at the gym doing it like that, and they spread their arms out wide when bringing it down, probably a different exercise in general? But I was scared I was doing it wrong
Or better yet, have your arms at 45 degrees to your body (90 degrees would be straight with your shoulders, so half way out to your sides is 45 degrees), and instead of trying to press upwards thinking of it as hinging at the shoulders and bringing your elbows together. Think of the way that chest fly's go, and that's the kind of movement you want to aim for while still pressing up to really target the pecks
I feel pain in my wrists after a heavy lift session doing this incline press, what is the fix to this issue? FYI, I am 195lbs, 5'5", and my max is 55lbs.
I was doing that all time n got shoulder pain everytime..even yesterday too😢..now i already got that injury..how many days should i rest to perform it again with goid form as mentioned?? Thank you🥰🙏
It’s not a mistake, you have the incline dumbbell press and then the flies for a reason but these days everybody’s a bodybuilder, boxing coach, fitness coach from behind the screen
How exactly do you know where to put the bench? Sometimes I read 30 degrees and sometimes I read 45? I tried putting it a notch higher than usual today but it was just not optimal so I switched back to what I presume is 30 degrees. Should I go to 45?
No, stick with 30°. If you go 45° or higher, your delts will want to take over more. The incline dumbbell chest press is designed for your upper pecs mostly, so 30° is the optimal angle for upper chest activation. I tried 45° at first as well, but my shoulders always felt more of the workout instead of my upper chest. You can feel your upper pecs flexing at the top of your rep, at least I always do at 30°.
Try slowing down every rep, especially the negative. I do this through what I’ve called “Mississippi Reps” which are where you do one second on the positive but 3 on the negative. You’re making sure of this by counting in your head “1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi” and so on. It helped a lot with shoulder pain for me.
How is going on a vertical path increasing shoulder injury when we also use barbells on this exercise? I wish fitness didn't have so much conflicting information.
false. the more vertical path puts the upper chest under a superior stretch. if your shoulders get involved too much or any pain is there then the second option is fine

Glad to see this before Chest Day
Everyday is chest day
@@brettbardallis9469 nah
@@brettbardallis9469 i prefer Legs just bc i feel strong and there no need to worry about having right muscle engagement
Well sucks i just did mine bfore this
Its cap tho
That explains why my joints were popping
I suffer it once.
That day my shoulder had limited range of motion😅.
I guess a slight angle of holding weights & curved movement really help.
Whenever you feel pain or wear in your joins findr the best angle position to avoid injuries with any exercise

@@deangelisdataNah you have to find a different work out for that.
@@deangelisdata Practicing your signature might work for you. It helps speed up the divorce paper process
yes that slight angle is good. soon as the weights are pushed up, our arms/shoulders naturally want to go that way
Short and concise advice. Your content is exactly what I want to see
I was just doing that vertical path yesterday at the gym and me thinking i was killing it. 😅 i'll do this next time thank you!
Its not proven it Will give u injuries, its just bro science. Keep doing u, matter fact vertical hits the chest better.
@kaboomer5607 it hits chest better for me too.. what should I do

I'm so glad I saw this before my workout

Yessir this is the truth
Thank you

Huh
Man I just did incline dumbbells w 40,45,s and my shoulders got a monster pump but I didn't feel it in my chest that much
I’ll have to try that. Thanks for the tip.
its definitely worth it
I feel pain in my wrists after a heavy lift session doing this incline press, what is the fix to this issue? FYI, I am 195lbs, 5'5", and my max is 55lbs.
And I thought I had bad form doing them angled lol just felt better to me
ty
Good advice
Omg I injured my shoulder yesterday from that
Yeah same 😢 I cba my shoulders like popping and shit
Did u manage to recover
Can you please post a video of decline dumbbell chest press correct elbow form
I was doing that all time n got shoulder pain everytime..even yesterday too😢..now i already got that injury..how many days should i rest to perform it again with goid form as mentioned?? Thank you🥰🙏

Till now I was doing wrong thanks
Im not confident enough to press,with free weights, so I use the,smith machine. No choice but to press vertically!

@@QuestionEverything562 yeah I always do 30 now haha
I always feel it in my arms and little in chest for sum reason
Now what about when using thhe barbel…or is that contraindicated as well
same thing, tuck your elbows
I can already see the boys making fun of this 🤣
First way is a great stretch
Bro but i'd just feel it on my shoulders 😭
I'm not a pro, when you push try to make the dumbells close each other, and feel to squize (flex) your chest
Try slowing down every rep, especially the negative. I do this through what I’ve called “Mississippi Reps” which are where you do one second on the positive but 3 on the negative.

Then your shoulders are weaker then your chest or your pushing wrong
This really works trust me

How to use this advice in incline bench press ?
The importance of your warm up set is to test this and get you ready for your real lift , please warm up and you will find your angles and be primed
Im currently doing incline dumbell press lol
Yes
Agreed
How is going on a vertical path increasing shoulder injury when we also use barbells on this exercise? I wish fitness didn't have so much conflicting information.
brother i saw in a video that you use a cruved path with barbells as well,doesnt matter which type of chest press you do.
always wsrum up rotator cuff.
True
The path isn't the issue. It's your elbows Claire's way tf out
false. the more vertical path puts the upper chest under a superior stretch. if your shoulders get involved too much or any pain is there then the second option is fine
Light weights only
Thanks sir 😊 🫂 🙏 please translation in Arabic and English thanks 🎉❤
For inclined bench press it is supposed to be a vertical path right?
Just do it 😢
What about incline barbell press.
That should really cause shoulder problems then.
I was thinking this exact thing, and was looking for the answer
Nice
This is the stuff I need to learn but I'm too embarrassed to ask someone irl lol subscribed
Should be like pushing a shopping cart
What if this gives elbow pain instead
lets try
What’s the injury called.
I don’t think it’s bad if you’re pressing in a straight line as long as your elbows aren’t flared out to 90 degrees.
Lower incline is better until you feel your chest
Domt feel mu chest when doing this, my shoulders get fattigued really fast when doing thus
When I do this my hands can’t be stable and keep turning inwards and I feel so much weaker, my shoulder pain remains can anyone help
Should I only do incline bench or also flat
Both
What about peck injury 😂 why is everyone a sports scientist now😂
So just press like it’s flat bench?
Already injured 😝😂
So essentially barbell presses are bad ?
This is true, I've been trying this 👍🏼
What if I’m incline benching😂
What if you use a bar?
Aye mate if you any good jogging shoes pls lmk much appreciated
The form is right, but your camera angle is wrong
Thanks for the tip ❤️no homo
Dont think about form if you lift more weight 😅
I dont think so
Heard of a guillotine press?
Wow 😲💪u body sado
