I remember when I first figured this out. I was about 19 and had been weight training for about 5 years already but had never felt my chest because I was mostly just pressing weight straight up and down. Then I read in Flex magazine about how the true function of the pecs are to bring the arms together. So the next workout I concentrated on going wide at the bottom of dumbbell presses and then trying to squeeze my biceps together at the top. After maybe 3 reps my chest cramped up incredibly painfully because they had never experienced that before. From there my chest progress just took off.
WILD THINGS I wish I could read it so I can see how to do it
WOW THANK YOU!
Thats the best way to do it. Think about squeezing both biceps together at the top most definitely activates the chest muscles to work best. I'm going to do it tonight lol
@stephen stewart thats even a better way of connecting mind and muscle while benching. I just tried it without any weight and instantly you can feel a better pump, thanks!
@Nexxo Exxon same here, I am also facing this issue and I keep stressed out everyday.....
My chest hurts finally... Thanks for the pain
good!
Yeah buddy.. Hah ha ha
Ain't everybody wanna be a bodybuilder but nobody want to lift that heavy ass weight
Thank you. Maybe you can create the same by adding a DB for warmups
World shall know pain
Great video Mountain Dog, its cool how you always have other pro’s sharing advised. You dont act like this is my channel I know it all, humble guy👍👍
I did know Mark Hamil was so jacked under that robe lol.
yesss!!!!
@@mountaindog1 Luck, may the Force be with you!
I feel I wasted nearly a whole year of training until I figured this out for the first time. Such a great feeling.
I love how John and friends fricken finally simplify and explain muscle building to where I can ACTUALLY understand what the whole point of any exercise ACTUALLY is. Awesome.
I can't express my gratitude for this video. My chest gains have plateaued because I couldn't get that MMC, no matter how hard i tried. Now I can finally feel my chest swell with blood. Thanks a lot mate!
I wish i knew about this when I first started, this is something i had to figure out on my own over few years. Mind muscle connection is key and damn it feels good when you do it right.
Definitely gonna incorporate this video and the one on chest stretch (w/ kettlebell offset on bench) into my chest routine. RIP to the legend John Meadows. These videos are top notch and hold up years later. Thanks to whoever is maintaining these videos and keeping them on RUclips for all to learn from.
Thank you, I've been having problem using my chest for bench press, now that problem is solved thank you.
awesome!!
Man, Eugene's good. Never thought about chest activation this way. Love the drills, they work wonders!
Oh my gosh how have I not seen this video before!? Two legends of the game 👏👏👏 RIP John Meadows 🙏🙏🙏
Edit: Chest day yesterday- WOW. I always had decent wide chest engagement, had been working more on interior and lower pec. These helped tremendously! Feeling amazing today.
*And* As Eugene suggested, my right shoulder had on occasion been getting a little janky if I was lifting max, and ending on incline presses. I will probably adjust, but did a decline/flat/incline sequence yesterday, and at the end, I had way less/no shoulder impingement. These activations are next level!
Hi Eugene and John. Thank you for the video. I did the chest activation exercises and it made a big difference. It really helped with my incline bench press. You are right it does help relieve some tightness in my shoulder. Also those chest stretch exercises you recommend doing at the end of my chest workout helped my chest feel open and removed all that uncomfortable tension I get from training chest. Really good open chest feeling.
awesome!!!
This is a good visual aid because he has big developed muscles to actually see what's being discussed
See, everytime I watch workout videos, nobody ever explains the science behind it or HOW to truly get an efficient workout. THIS is the most important in weight lifting and sets people up to succeed. In my honest opinion, if we break down HOW to workout properly and WHY these motions are important, everything else will follow naturally and people will see much greater results without injuring themselves. EXCELLENT work guys.
You didn't watch Jeff nippard ?
@@kakskak6220 Aww snap! I was going to recommend Jeff before I read your comment. His technique Tuesday series is great. I found this channel through him. :)
Glad I found your channel. I'm disappointed I missed you at the olympia. You teach very well.
Eugene way better here than his latest videos , I like the way he’s more direct in his explanations
I want to say thank you for this video. I used your technique along with some band work before my chest routine and it helped a lot. Best pump I've had in a while
Been waiting for these vids to come out since your visit John. Mountain Dog and the Muscle Mechanic collab, awesome stuff!
I’ve done this before but never the other way I’ll get it a go see if it gives me abit more stability great vids keep it up
Nice definitely will do this from now on before hitting chest , makes more sense with mind muscle connection as well
This are propably the best chest tips I have ever heard. I could always squeeze and make them burn, but not feel it very well doing any pressing or even cables. I always felt like my front delt and bicep wants to take over, even with tucked back shoulders. Will definitely try thank you very much 💪
hey mate just saw your massage now im having the exact same problem right now did those workout worked ?
Oh wow this was over 2 years ago. Yes these tips here worked well. It turned out that my front delts where just proportionally overdeveloped and overcompensating in most chest exercises. What helped me the most though, was to use light weights and do every chest exercise with proper technique and in slow motion (!) for a couple months to really feel ghe chest burn and activate that mind-muscle connection. This was by far my biggest chest problem and chances are that its the same for you. Once that connection was established I went back into my strength-focused training and became continually stronger than ever since I could now properly incorporate my chest. Hope this helps 👍
@@servantofthemosthigh9250 thank you for your time and tips man i appreciate it
@@servantofthemosthigh9250 thanks for this comment
@@servantofthemosthigh9250 I have that same problema and injured myself the rotator cuff and bicp tendon I will try your commnet to star with light weight for a couple of month.
Hope have a big chest
Mate this is what people need to see more of no mind to muscle connect no gains thanks for the pain helped so much!!
This is brilliant. I feel the muscle fibres clearly. Thanks for this brilliant tip
Rip John you will never be forgotten 💪
I love pre exhaustion stuffs. Just never do it to failure. After that that very muscle will cooperate in all the compound liftings to follow. I’ve done one arm pec deck before chest, straight arm pull down before lats, extensions before legs and side laterals before delts. All extra lightweight and mid-part partials. I love it. Helps a lot with that mind muscle connection. Additionally I also do a little isometrics or posing right after the workouts to keep the blood boiled. Hope this helps too. Wish all the best to everyone.
You deserve everything good in the whole world
I have been training for yrs and I have been doing it wrong! Thank you for showing me the right way.So grateful to watch the number one training channel on RUclips Thank you for sharing your awesome video Mountain ⛰ dog 🐕
This was super helpful! For a long while my delts always took over when i tried to do chest exrecises
Very intellectual way to train. Just like how B paks style.
Just got done with chest and back. Thanks for the video!!
First time actually feeling my chest,instantly subbed!
Thank you so much guys just tried this and felt a real burn in my lats. Greatly appreciated keep them coming
Such a valuable lesson for young kids who are starting out in this sport. I wish a guy at my gym could see this
Thank you for sharing such great knowledge
Excellent video. Now, I know why your shoulders are supposed to be pinched back during bench press. And also now I can feel my chest. Thank you so much.
I’ve been working out for a year and my chest has been the hardest muscle of all time to properly activate and eat good form. I’ve been trying so hard to get it to feel right and I literally get angry bc I can’t feel it properly. Needed this video thank you.
Content level absolute Gold John!
thank you!
Got a growing pec imbalance. Will definitely give this a try. Thanks a mill!
I've been trying to figure this out for years. Will see if it works with a few days of practice!
Man I am going to try to focus on this more because I have ALWAYS struggled with chest. I can do pretty high weight on dumbbells but bars I really struggle.
Super educational. Thanks so much. Can’t wait to put this into practice.
Well what do you know the day I start worrying about chest activation this pops up, Thanks man!
very interesting, i'm finally understanding that the contraction is when bringing the arm across the pec... except your arm doesn't come across the body with a barbell bench press? not sure i'll ever get it lol
Do butterfly press on a machine and you will feel it. I see other videos with proper bench press form where they say to bring yoour shoulder blades together, imo that is shortening the move range in the arms. With that said, i feel like im doing half a rep like that and dont feel it in the pecs.
This makes so much sense. I just started doing pushups on rings and it allows me to squeeze together at the top and wow, I get the burn you're talking about! My pecs are pretty much the first muscle to burn to failure out of all of the tertiary muscles working.
6:25 John feeling his chest muscles for the first time
lmao
bro this made me laugh oso hard hhhh have a great day
I definitely struggle with feeling my right pec and it shows with the development... can’t wait to test this out!
I finally found it!!! After reviewing this video!!! Bro’s thank you!!!
Thank you for doing the video. Going to give it a try. You have great instructional videos.
this video is actually truly helpful whether you have issues with feeling your chest or not. i do isometric squeezes as part of chest but this actually puts into words what is happening. this is not a super sexy topic so i bet it might get bypassed but it was truly helpful
Absolutely revolutionary! Eugene is shamingly articulate (as always) with no splicing, cutaways or editing of any kind
6:20 vietnam flashbacks
😂😂
Great video ! Great tips for maximize that mind muscle connection.
Amazing knowledge, this has added a whole new dimension too my training.
The best way, I find, is to pin those shoulders back, use dumbbells.
I also find that holding them loosely helps put the stress on the pecs- anytime you’re wrapping tightly around the weight (Whether pushing or pulling), takes the stress away from your target.
Great stuff , just started training again after a lay off of 2 yrs and this has been an issue
I can feel my chest! Love ya'll finally after a year of worthless chest training I can improve my chest
Haha i was like i can feel it. 4sec later you can feel it too! Awesome! Thanks for the tips, i'm going to implement this today! 💪💪
Absolutely great advice. After years of lifting something as simple as shoulder positioning had slipped away. This reminded instantly functionality of my chest. Much appreciated.
Great movements to add to your chest, back or even delt warmup regimen 😎👌
Great idea for warming up prior to chest work. Something so easy to do and I will begin to incorporate this into my workout. Thanks for sharing.
I've been working on mind muscle connection on all movements really makes a difference thanks! Going to sub to Eugene thanks for link sir!
thank you
Unbelievable knowledge 👏🏽
Oh boy... The way that peck pop's up when John squeezes it....
Thanks for such a good explanation
As always great content 😊
I can’t believe it. I can feel my chest. Thx so much
This is actually super helpful as I have partial tears in both of my biceps and I always have a very difficult time activating my chest during chest training. John Meadows always providing amazing information
Eugene is the man!
This has saved my life. I still need alot of practice before i can perfect the movement, but gains are on the way 💪
horizongal adduction ... thanks Eugene
For fuck sakes,So I was basically wasting my half year in gym,doing chest. After this video it was probably the first time I felt my chest burning. Thank you,John. Insta subscribe
thank you!
Just got added to my YT chest folder. Great tips. Really like the stabilisation tip.😁
Keep feeling it in my shoulders… have always had trouble with that one I’m at a loss almost affraid of a shoulder injury
Very nice illustration. Wish I knew all this before I got my shoulder injured while pressing.
Karun Verma ughhhh preach dude. Know that feeling all too well
Awesome
I hurt my left one 5 yrs ago & it still ‘clicks’ to this day.
That was really helpful, John. Thank you both guys a lot. Do you plan to make videos about other bodyparts? Arms would be great since I struggle to feel left arm properly. Peace
Wow! This was fantastic!
Great Video guys!
Deff gonna try this sometime this week. I’ve Been getting stronger and stronger but my chest doesn’t look any different in size or shape and I only feel it in some exercises! Hopefully it helps!
Wow! Thanks for the info, been struggling to improve my mind muscle connection in pecs area, and building quality chest muscles. Will incorporate this to my routine 🙏🏽
Rip John meadows😭😎👍
"I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it!" 😅😂😘🎶🎵🎤
In just a very short period of time, 8 minutes to be precise, these two men explained to the entire world how to [much] more effectively work chest. And yet, less than 3k thumbs up.
:/
Brutal.
But, THANK YOU for the knowledge. Will be employing this knowledge post haste.
Appreciate the video thanks fellas 👍
Super intelligent dude. Knows his sh*t
Worked great ty!
Who is that asian guy i need more of him explaining how muscle works. I have been working out for last 2 months never felt a single thing in my chest and today was omgg
I tried this still didn't felt any pain or burn or soreness after workout can u explain it to me
Good tip john
Thats some anatomy class model You have there ;-)
Great tips
Rest in peace man, you were a good guy.
Very helpful and useful video. Addresses a very crucial issue related to chest development. Thanks for all the inputs.
Every other area I've been able to hit without problem but the damn chest, im okay with lower chest but middle and upper is not happening. just done chest today, I just feel nothing even after an hour, will give these tips a try. Hardest thing is to get those shoulders to stay back for me
A big help. thanx.
3am in bend just had to try it and I felt ready to bench lol gonna try this on Sunday chest and shoulders
I couldn't ever feel my inner chest, like where it connects to the sternum but this video actually helped so fucking much 😭
This is by far the best solution to activate your chest mind muscle connection
This is not explaining chest work when bench pressing. I know where my chest muscles and what they do, thank you very much/
Literally nothing else has worked. I'm going to give this the old college try. Even though I never went to college
Finish this series with every muscle group, it's just too good.
Honestly can’t believe I haven’t tried this before. Great advice, thank you guys!
Hey John, shirt you're wearing is killer bud.
Great video!
