Great! 4 minutes on the correct form. I knew a lot of this before I took 30 years off for Spring Break. At 66, I want to avoid injury. And I see a lot of whacky technique at the gym. Looking forward to more of these. I'd like to see something on a deadlift. I have arthritis in my back and that's worrisome.
Thanks for the clear instructions, especially with entering and coming out of the exercise! Today I included dumbbell bench press in my workout for the first time and at the end of my reps i realized i had no idea how to get up again :D
Really good version of your videos! Keep them coming! Thank you for being there for us and sharing your great knowledge. And hey being hot doesn't hurt!
You did not tell here, as in your another video - to bring shoulder blades together before starting to rep, I do it, and it brings more involvement of the chest muscle fibers.
Hey Jeffrey, thanks for writing in brother and great question! If a dairy-free diet makes you feel good and works for you, go for it! You can find our stance on dairy from this eye-opening video: pulse.ly/giwjmwjmsa Best of luck! -The FFP Team
Hi. I am beginning and want to use weights to bodybuild. For my first time in the gym, how do I know the optimal weight to use, for best results ? Is it just trial and error, basing on an 8 to 12 rep range ?
Hey AM, thanks for writing in and great question! You are absolutely right with the trial and error as the goal is to choose a weight that has you struggling as you approach that 8-12 rep range. If you can easily go past 12, the weight is too light; if you can't even reach 8, the weight is too heavy. But for your very first time, always err on the side of too light to help prevent injury. There'll be plenty of time to progress to heavier weights so the last thing you'd want is to set yourself back even longer with an injury! -The FFP Team
Hey Zaza, thanks for writing in and great question! You will find a better and more effective lift if you retract your scapula while performing the movement. So think about squeezing your shoulder blades together as a nice trick to help provide the most bang for your buck with bench press. -The FFP Team
Is it ok to do these on the floor? Wanting to get going with these but don't have a bench atm. (Currently rehabing a distal bicep tendonopathy and a slightly unstable shoulder). Thanks for all your great content, it's changing my life :). Trevor.
Hi Trevor, Thanks for reaching out! Yes you can do the dumbbell bench press on the floor, but we recommend doing it on a bench for a wider range of motion. But more importantly don't do the exercise until you are fully recovered/healed. -The FFP Training Staff
@@Fitfatherproject thanks :), nearly there with the rehab, just wanting to go through the motions on the 5 main excercises with very small weight to practice form.
Hey thanks for writing in! You can do the press at any degree that you wish, just that the angle you choose will alter how much your other body-parts (shoulder, triceps mainly) are included as well. Best of luck! -The FFP Team
Eazy way to set the dumbells down like a street thug is to raise both your knees and gently push the dumbbell against your knees let the weight of the dumbbell raise you back up without hurting twisting your arms
You do a great job at teaching. Not everybody can teach.
Excellent teacher and how to protect the shoulder with inclination of the bench

It looks like Stewarts elbows are flared out aren't they meant to be tucked to avoid elbow injury?
Do I should retract my scapula before doi g the exercise?

Which is best form for chest press-flat back or little arched ?
Check out our full dumbbell bench press video here:
ruclips.net/video/t1iaVBMItPo/видео.html
when pushing the dumbells up, do I lock my elbows, or keep a slight bend? thanks
A slight bend will keep your muscles engaged during the entire exercise. So keep a tiny bend in your elbows.
Can I do it with a neutral grip?
Yes absolutely. Neutral grip is fantastic for shoulder health while pressing.
OK for Grandfathers to follow your workouts?
Yes!
So the press is at 90 degrees and not 45 degrees?
Hey thanks for writing in! You can do the press at any degree that you wish, just that the angle you choose will alter how much your other body-parts (shoulder, triceps mainly) are included as well. Best of luck!

Are you a MD?
Yes 👍
Dr. Stoppani, would say that is bad form. Put the elbows at a 60degree angle
