    I started doing press, incline and fly with dumbbells at my house for about 6 weeks now, once a week. It’s noticeably making a difference. Instead of my shirts being tight around my waist, they’re now tight around my chest. I still have a long way to go, but as far as chest, I’m definitely on the right path because of this video. Thanks! 💪

  • @Crowbar11115
    @Crowbar11115 3 года назад +3

    The big AH-HA moment for me with Chest was realizing I need to focus on the concept of making my biceps touch.
    Put both arms straight out in front of you...make a fist with both hands...keeping your arms straight, bring your fists together in front of you. Notice how your chest didn't do a damn thing??
    Now do that again but ignore your fists and focus on trying to make your biceps touch. BOOM. It's the exact same motion but now your chest just went into overdrive.
    It's so easy to accidentally turn Chest exercises into Arm exercises.

    I used to think climbing was best to build the center of the pecs, and l was right, especially negative angle of rock, pulling yourself up, holding yourself, that builds the pec. Combined with bench, flies, and cables, it builds mass and shape too.

    Good stuff. Was forced to learn a couple of things on here during my long workout career. That DB bench gave me a better pump than flat bench. This was due a lot to the fact I have a damaged shoulder from being almost killed by a drunk driver. Also had to place my elbows in proximity to my chest the way you show here. Otherwise I just had too much shoulder pain post surgery and forever since. One of my fav you did not mention here but probably do in your series. Is DB pullovers. This is a great end of workout movement. Really stretches the chest cavity out and expands the ribs/pecs. I usually use a 100lb db for sets of 10-15. I feel so swoll at the end!! love it .

      Literally think about what muscle you're actually working (which is the pectoral muscle) while actually doing the exercise. Make sure that you keep your elbows slightly bent and lower the weights just below your nipple line may be a little lower. And as you start to lift the weight straighten out your elbows/arms but dont necessarily lock them.

    I have been working out off and on for almost 40 years. I started while i was serving in the military, and i was taught to believe, by ex ballplayers and old school bodybuilders, the 3 best exercises for the chest were flat bench, incline bench, and decline bench, in that order, alternating barbell on one day then dumbells on the next chest day. As time went on and fitness experts came out of the woodwork, everything changed. Different strokes for different folks i guess !
