This is probably the best video on upper chest I’ve ever watched. Thank you sir
No it's not.
@@JoseSanchez-zo5tb 😭😂😂😂
100% agree ! And it makes so much sense. I’ve been thinking like this for a long time but then all the usual videos show up to just go almost Vertical (the way he shows not to do it as it mostly uses the front delt)
Yep , teach the small things, they are the BIG things. Very good trainer!!! Thanks.
Figured this out years ago. Good to hear his take on this.
The depth of the demo is extremely informative compared to others. Very helpful 👍
Amazingly in-depth. Extremely knowledgeable. So so happy I stumbled across this particular dude.
First time viewing this channel/guy, and I will say the guy is not super rip, but the man knows how to explain exactly what to do and not to do. I see so many videos from these rip guys who say to do it X way but doesn't tell you what not to do as much. I am referring to the part on the chest cable fly where your shoulders should be was super helpful and will keep an eye out next time at the gym (happens to be tomorrow).
OMG all this time I could never feel the activation until this video!
Thank you for presenting this in an "everyman" style, the technique and description are excellent for beginners and will ensure proper form for proper results. Keep up the great work!
He's a good teacher.
Another great video Mind Pump! Thanks!
Exactly what I needed to watch. Really liked the cue also. Thank you.
Excellent instructions!! Have been looking for a video like this for awhile😊
Excellent video- it's all in the details to get results and avoid injury. Thanks.
Outstanding content and examples shown. Very Well Done
Danny is definitely the best at teaching new techniques. Thanks!
Your videos are so informative. My gains have improved with your advice. Thank you.
Thanks Brother! I'm concentrating on this
Danny - you are awesome! Love the content and how the movement and recruitment patterns are explained. Keep this type of video coming!
Thanks for the good details, it changes everything. Few fitness RUclipsrs explain like *Danny MATRANGA*
Really clear instructions and explanation of the muscles targeted to maximise the benefit. A couple of very useful tips on angles given.
Great presentation. Really explains in great in understandable language.
GREAT video! Well explained. Thanks man for the training tips!
Well presented and alot of info explained in detail
Love the way he logically breaks down the direction of muscle fibers to match the movement which all ties up to most accurately target the intended muscle. Just fantastic
Very well done my man!
excellent. The tip about arm position ,for incline press, makes the difference.
Solid content. Thanks
Great video and explanation ❤️
Will try this tomorrow, been trying to grow my upper chest. Thank you
Excellent explanation and method. Thank you for the video.
Hands down one of the best fitness instruction videos I've seen
Thanks, Josh!
Amazing video and explanation.
Really excellent explanation thankyou

Great video! This look like something that would work great in MAPS Anabolic phase 3.
Toss them in!
Instantly felt my upper chest engage after making adjustments from watching this video.
MIND PUMP NOTIFICATION SQUAD !!!!! Appreciate the work behind the content , keep it up guys
Tarun Singh Glad your finding value T. Anything else you would like us to touch on in future videos?
A video or podcast discussing powerbuilding ? Can't think of anything else rn , the podcast covers most of the questions
You are awesome sir.
Awsome, very informative, this guy knows what he is talking about, best video I've seen on upper chest workout, well done.
Awesome!
You are a good teacher and a trainer. Very methodical. Keep up with your good work.
Sick sick content....yes! 👍
LeilaMurka Agreed.
As a newly qualified personal trainer, I am benefiting from your videos so much Danny! Keep up the fantastic work! A video on the Romanian deadlift - also comparing stiff legged deadlift and touching on single sided RDL would be great. Thanks again Danny and Mindpump.
Glad you are enjoying them craig.
Wow, incline press for upper chest?! Who would have ever guessed
i know right?
Pretty good presentation
Great communication
Brill vid.. very clear
Mind pump > every other fitness account
Wrong. The guy is stealing Athlean X stuff
athleanx >>>>>>>> jeff nipard & other channels
@@workoutmadness6901 Stealing? I've watched hours of Jeff's stuff over the years. Jeff is awesome, but let's not assume he's the only kinesiologist on RUclips.
This guy knows enough to use the correct terminology, and he gives sensible advice. In fact, he gave a couple of helpful tips here which I hadn't heard from Jeff. There's room for everybody on YT, and people who know what they're talking about are bound to say similar things. No need to accuse him of stealing.
@@sayehs2188 athlean x is so long winded and not to the point. And he constantly uses technical terms to make himself seem smarter when you can explain the exact same thing in laymens terms like in this video
@RainFall athlean x sucks
I wish my gym is this empty.
It is now! 😐
@@BassByTheBay Yeah and locked.
😷
it is now thanx to CV19
lmao same!!!!
Excellent video.
Can you do the same but with dumbbells?
Greetings from México 🙂
Hi mindpump! Please do a video for lower chest, im really having a hard time improving my lower chest :(( If you look my chest my upper and middle are pumping but the lower are sagging
Thanks
i like the way you talk bro
Heavy incline is the best I'd say even if it's 1 or 2 reps, it's how I got a huge upper chest, never had until i went heavy incline and I've bodybuild for 12 years.
Do you suggest this before bench after traditional bench or a separate day?
Thanks..
Love your videos. I've started to incorporate minute changes and it makes a difference. I have a question about the 2nd exercise. Are you locking your elbows when you push the dumbbells upwards? I was told to keep the tension by not locking elbows at the top.
Brian Pedroso I lock the elbows. I suppose you don’t have to. I hyperextend most the time because I have hypermobile joints (not intentional). A soft contraction or stopping before lockout is fine. Do what works best for you.
@@MindPumpTV Awesome! Thanks!
03:16 when you like the idea of video editing but in the end couldn't be fucked ahahah
Like, just 15-degrees up on that bench has been the sweetspot for me - like, I feel like if I go even to 30-ish degrees up or so, the delts start taking over.
Lucent Shadow agree
@@MindPumpTV depends. I totally would agree years ago but since i gained a whole lot of mass in my pecs the 30 degree angle doesnt hit my front delts at all. I squeeze my upper pecs and no problem. I do alternate the incline angle from workout to workout though
After i finish my incline barbell press and a regular chest machine exercise, 8 sets of workout overall, everything i do else is just hitting my front shoulder, i am really focusing on using mu chest in the 3rd exercise (chest flys, or some mid chest exercise) and i just can't use them, my front delts take over, and the biggest thing that irritates me most is that although after the first 2 excercises i feel the pump and that "shivering" feeling in my muscles i feel that i have more left in the tank. any recommendations, should i just do 2 exercises for chest and move along or is this something normal.
What about decline pushups? How would you recommend fitting those into this? Thank you.
Yet, another gr8 post - two questions [1] Should this replace or supplement existing chest routine (for example, If I perform 4 sets of cable flies and 4 sets of incline DB press, should I consider working in two sets of each exercise you referenced - as I want to make sure that I don't over train). [2] By angling, what type of impact [if any] is there on triceps or shoulders?
There shouldn’t be additional impact on tricep relative to other pressing. Perhaps more front delt if done improperly. Try supplementing these in place of existing press/fly work.
get in position like your about to use the cable. Play with one arm and try toi tighten that upper chest only. You can dial it in the more you play with it. Notice the angle the cable would be in the motion your doing and transfer that to the cable machine. Bam, upper chest gains
If my one side chest is come out and other is not then wich type of work out is good to get both side chest equal and good,
Are there any exercises that we can do at home?
Who else is making their chest schedule last second 😂
Thanks for the advice, i usually do the low to high cable fly from the lowest point. By the way Danny, what do you think of pullover for the upper chest?
Malcolm Adam It’s ok - not a favorite of mine. VERY good when done right (which it rarely is).
@@MindPumpTV Appreciate the reply man. I'm aware if not done right, it'll work the lats instead. Please do a video about it in the future.
@@ult11mo they are not necessary
What would promote someone to use a 30 degree or 45 degree incline? (Especially when most people suffer from upper cross syndrome).
Opinion on upper chest fly on push day ?
Quick question :- For the CSCS exam the book provided on the NSCA site (Essentials of strength training And conditioning) enough or do I need some other study materials also ?
Tarun Singh I would do some practice tests.
Chest contraction is my biggest problem, everytime i try to press i start feeling my front delt.. Anyway, a big thank you for this video.
Seagull23 This should help.
Roll your shoulders back
Soo your not supposed to retract your scapula and squeeze your shoulder blades together when doing the cable fly?
How many degrees should I put the bench?
What is this excercise called , I am talking about the first one .
When I look at myself in side profile, my upper chest is non existent, it feels my collar bone and rib cage can be seen. I really hope this video will finally help me not feel low self esteem about my dad bod, if I understand this video correctly I should use a light weight... so, 5 lbs?
my front delts easily give up when doing this how to fix? since it has like the movement pattern of a front raise
cullanom It is super similar. You may want to try unilateral, a different angle, a dumbbell variation, a bench variation - tons of options.
#SQUAAAAAAD
Just trained upper chest this morning! ☹️️
Wezz Atta boy. We are on the same split LOL
Good tips. But at 0:57 I think you meant to say clavicular rather than sternal
are close grip incline presses also effective for upper chest?
I would imagine they are going to bias more tricep and front delt for most.
Your left shoulder is higher than your right
❤
Why do I feel my triceps a lot more on any chest exercise that i do? They usually give out before my chest does
Not uncommon - just need to catch up. Try isolated chest work like this fly.
This guy???!!!!!
You should have mentioned that cable height should be at knee position !
9:06 here is the exercise.
😭
👍
I'm here after trying athlean x and hurting myself over and over
Both heads of the muscle are called sternal head?
There is one muscle. Comprised of the two heads, sternal and clavicular.
I think u meant clavicular head in the beginning. I no what u meant
I'm still waiting for the picture of that lovely muscles at 3:17
8:06 you went away too fast explaining the difference between the 90 degree position compared to the "dialed in" 45 degree position of your elbows? Arms? I wasn't sure if you were trying to tell us to bring the elbows slightly down toward our waste or if the angle of bend in our elbows should be 45 degrees toward our chest.
A suggestion for next time. Take your time (as you did with everything else) to define your terms and ensure that what you're saying can't be misunderstood to mean/address something that wasn't intended.
Other than that, great video. You have a level of communication skill that is surpassed by few.
