I've never really connected with incline presses well, though I've been doing them for years. Your tip about lowering the angle of the bench totally changed the feel of the exercise for me, and lit up my upper chest. Instant connection. Great tip!
I do the flat and 30 degree dumbbell press on chest day. Then on shoulder day I do the 60 degree and shoulder press. Love the way it lights up my muscles!
I think it depends on the individual. 30 to 45 degree inclines work my mid chest with no activation in my upper chest but 60 plus degrees works my upper chest well.
completely agree. 4y of training, not much change.... if you would accept that my biological age got arrested at -15y, very constant weight... so,, a good status quo.

Yeah! My fat ass used to be like that too. I eventually got to a point where the wife had to sit on my back just so I could get a good pump..it took me three years of daily pushups to get there though, HUA!!!!!!
For as long as we get muscle fatigue by doing 5-30 pushups, theyre as good as any bench press variant. Even better I'd say, depending if exercising core strength is desirable or not (i.e. less desirable if it affects your output in other exercises the same or next day.)

I just love doing dips, leaning forward, at the end of the chest workout to failure. Just 3 sets, with very little time in between. I also train my triceps and chest together that day, so two in one exercise to end the day.

@@vectorflux8887 it takes years to get strong even with perfect diet, sleep, and excersize. They have no reason to slow your progress because most people won't stick with it anyways
Chat-GPT summary : 1.Bench Fly - Worst due to increased risk of damage to the anterior shoulder capsule and pec tear. 2.Standing Cable Press - Inefficient as it challenges the core more than chest muscles. 3.60-degree Incline Bench Press - Not optimal for chest growth due to angle. 4.Pushups, Floor Fly, and Underhand Dumbbell Bench Press - Better but not best exercises. 5.Barbell or Dumbbell Bench Press - Best chest exercise for strength and muscle growth.
Love this ranking series. Currently in PT and came here to correct shoulder pain which you cleared up right away. My body was telling me 60° Bench was the culprit but I didn't want to listen so I could overload. Trying to add face pulls, external rotations and will steer clear of Delt risks in the hope I can reduce pain and increase mobility again. Regret trying to incline 225+. Keep up the great work feel I've learned more in this series since everything I've read since getting Arnold's encyclopedia as a kid.
The bench fly has given me injuries many times, on my back, close to my shoulders, till I realised if I did them with a smaller opening on my way down (basically the same angle of the floor fly) I would be fine. Your confirmation was all I needed. Thank you.
Great job going over Options. Please keep emphasizing how easy it is to injure your shoulders with some of these options. As we get older we start to feel the pain of the lifting mistakes we made when we were younger.
Take them with grain of salt though, and not as word from god. I 100% disagree with Dips. I used to love them and did them with heavy extra weights too. Eventually they broke my elbow and shoulder. Sure they are effective, but I rank them #1 dangerous excercise,. Way more damaging than bench flys. There are many people who have got into troubles because of dips, just google it if you dont believe just me.
@@samuraidoggy Because you didn't do it right, blame yourself instead of the exercise. Dips is literally Incline Pushups but you gotta lift your legs instead of resting them on the ground, you have noone else to blame but yourself if you're injured. Search athleanx dips, and learn more
@@nomnomyourmom That much is obvious., but it goes to everything. Same with the bench flys. I have never injured myself to those, so fot that argument you should argue with the video as well. Listen to your body, not a single person. There are plenty of people hurt to dips, google it.
I was wondering why my incline chest press wasn’t growing my chest and it felt like I was stagnating. You just described it perfectly in terms of the angle so thank you
8:38 my favourite to do when lifting solo. Unlike the bench press, if you cant make the top of a rep towards the end of a set, you dont need a spotter to safely let the weight down.
Thank you for this! I did my chest day today and did the incline Bench Press, I didn’t get that pump I was looking for. Next time definitely doing the 30-45 incline bench press, heavy crossovers, and the barbell/bumble bench press!
I like the pushup. In fact when I was in high school I managed to build a lot of muscle through pushups alone. I had to add weight of course, but still I think too many people ignore it in favor of the bench press
Agreed. I’m not sure if it’s coincidence or not, but it seems the bigger and better looking people in my gym are the people that include push-ups in their routine.
Good therapist. Bad on elbows too. My therapist is also an ex competitive bodybuilder. The poster should know better given he mentions his PT background. Flat bench isn’t popular in my circle either - much better things to do. I’d say the single arm crossover can isolate the best - guess it depends on the goal. Bench is something that is outgrown by most who don’t care about showing how much you can push
When I lifted heavy weights for 7 years, my chest didn’t get as good as I wanted it. I couldn’t do 50 push ups at that point. Since I stopped the standard bench press, flys, etc and swapped em with burpee’s and lots of push ups my chest has grown considerably in a way shorter matter of time. You have to find what works for you
I started bodybuilding in the1970s.Careful doing those pullovers.Early bodybuilding taught it as a way of expanding the rib cage by doing a set of squats first so you'd be breathing hard.I stretched my rib cage to the point of injury.Not sure what muscles I pulled but I was out for a month.Tried doing a few pullovers a couple yrs ago but felt that familiar pain so X'ed that exercise.
Indeed, don't try this. Your lungs won't change with exercise. "Institute of Human Anatomy" has a video on it, the cardiovascular system is the bottleneck, not the lungs and so they won't adapt. In the video it's theorized that only the absolute top elite endurance athletes may/may not reach the bottleneck of lung capacity but even then, won't be able to adapt and affect the circumference of the thoracic region.
I have a suggestion for another video. Have one on "only dumbell" exercises for different body parts. Many of us do not like gyms or simply cannot afford them. Based on these videos, I have omitted some traditional bad ones and added better ones from your suggestions. However, many of the best that you suggest involve cables and benches - something many of us do not have.

I like the sitting dip press machine because you can load up past body weight instead of hanging a weight from your hips. In addition, the fly machine (with grips and pads) keeps constant pressure all the way through, so I feel it's just about as good as the free cable cross. One of the sucky things about my gym is that the incline bench machine (plates) is so close to a military press, it's not worth it to use for incline press, so I have to make sure I have a spotter if I do the bar and bench. Great vid - thanks!
Thank you! After 4ish years of not hittin the gym I finally have the opportunity to start again! That said... I have limited equipment to work with so these videos are awesome!! The options in excercises helps a ton! Wish these videos had been around years ago. Thanks again!
Absolutely fantastic. Easily the best fitness creator on YT. It’s not even close. A goldmine of incredibly useful, practical, science-based information.
The segment on the heavy one-arm crossover blew my mind. I hadnt thought about using my wife's resistance bands for a chest exercise until this video. Now, I put 80-lbs of bands on a door jamb with a foam stopper and blast 5-7 of these and find myself breathing really deep. Thanks for the tip!
Jesse I’m proud of you! I watched a video of you 5 years ago and look at you now. Keep up the good work Bro. You are an inspiration! Also Bigups Mr. Cavaliers! You are a great leader. Thank you guys! God Bless you! 🙏🏾
This series is dope! straight to the point of effective exercises ! Keep this series going for all muscle groups! and "V" nonsense lmfao! Jeff keep doing this though please!! I have a PT girl who I try to impress and your videos always help!
Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.
MINTTTT… man been lifting since 16 played high school football and ice hockey then 4 years as an infantry Marine now BJJ practitioner and Group Fitness Instructor at Equinox and man this stuff has helped my own progress by leaps and bounds I was like 80% there and stuck but the subtleties in your coaching and choice of exercises is epic. Thanks Paesano!
Okay, I can do floor flys. Thank you for restoring my confidence with that one 😅 I was very let down to hear how much danger my shoulders where in and really glad to improve my chest exercises. Thanks 🙏
Because he's an ace trainer, he makes these exercises looks easy. But even missed by slightest of degree in angle while lifting that heavy, it could be extremely dangerous for anyone. I had pull in my left pec which took days to recover from one of his earlier exercises. So be careful about the weight that you use.
Excellent, very crisp and rational, got yourself a sub. Another improved push-up is the super-slow (especially eccentric) push-up, with elevated legs. *Greatly* increases the effective overload. A reason I like dumbells over barbells for arm exercises and presses is working both arms equally. I lead with the weaker arm, and do the same with the stronger to ensure a balanced workout.
Awesome video! I often exercise in the gym on top of teaching ballet,violin and piano. 30 degree incline bench press, pushups and 1-arm crossovers work well for me. I'm careful not to add too much weight so as not to strain my wrists. Thank you for the informative video! Deeply appreciate it.
It's more of a compound exercise involving a lot of core and some legs/triceps/shoulder, so it's not really comparable with a mostly isolated chest exercise like the bench presses.
Me too! Once I started training chest with the rings I saw massive improvement. Ring push ups and ring flys are pure gold for me. Not easy to perform but once the ego goes away the rewards are astonishing. Rings ftw!
JEff you are the best adivser on RUclips in my opinion ! Thanks for all the great safety tips and in depth kinesiology of the exercises and how to do them properly , over the years ! From someone who is 51 yrs of age and still loves to feel youthful by working out, and simply enjoys the feeling of pushing past limits ..... thank you so much ! ...Jason H
I already do the best on your category, before I see the video, but thank you, you opened my eyes on more things, like I was doing cable fly, but after watching and understanding your videos, I can agree that this exercise is not optimal.
This is a fantastic and straight forward video post. Jeff always presents everything in a succinct and technical manner. Great training tips! 5 stars! ✴✴✴✴✴
@@WolfStreak Yeah, dips are a good way to wreck the shoulder joint. And he cares about shoulder health by saying no to bench flyes, but puts dips high on the list. Reconsider that Jeff. Seriously. Push ups are not that light at all. Guys over 100kg have often a hard time doing them. And it's easy to make them harder. Go slow.. most of the time people will have a hard time to go over 20 reps that way. Elevated feet is another good option. 30 cm height already makes a difference.
RUclips sent me here. It knew I do almost every exercise wrong. Terrible form. Almost no gains. Frequent injuries. These videos are great! I was seeing a difference in 10 days.
I used to do dips a lot in the past until one day I got a weird condition in my right clavicle-shoulder area. I had shoulder pains and reduced shoulder mobility for a long time. When I was doing dips I was hearing clicks and "grinding" sounds from that area and there was a persistent feeling of discomfort. I'm not sure that the dips themselves were the main cause to it (most probably not), but I had to remove them from my routines completely cause they became unsafe for me. It's been 1.5 years since then and my shoulder is doing fine now but I still prefer to stay away from the dips, doing mostly bench presses.
Super helpful, I’ve definitely experienced what he’s referring to with accidental overloading of the anterior shoulder. It’s so easy for that to take over, the pec muscles are actually attacked to bone pretty close to the shoulder so it makes sense that anterior delts would take over with either too much weight or improper form/bad exercises.
how did it go? I also thought to make it easier equipment wise, is if you bring the dumbbells to the cable machine and do the press off the floor? what do you think?
Having trouble getting defined pecs? I have the solution for you right here! => ruclips.net/video/wMmy2MlH55U/видео.html

Chat-GPT summary :
1.Bench Fly - Worst due to increased risk of damage to the anterior shoulder capsule and pec tear.
2.Standing Cable Press - Inefficient as it challenges the core more than chest muscles.
3.60-degree Incline Bench Press - Not optimal for chest growth due to angle.
4.Pushups, Floor Fly, and Underhand Dumbbell Bench Press - Better but not best exercises.
5.Barbell or Dumbbell Bench Press - Best chest exercise for strength and muscle growth.

Love this ranking series. Currently in PT and came here to correct shoulder pain which you cleared up right away. My body was telling me 60° Bench was the culprit but I didn't want to listen so I could overload. Trying to add face pulls, external rotations and will steer clear of Delt risks in the hope I can reduce pain and increase mobility again. Regret trying to incline 225+. Keep up the great work feel I've learned more in this series since everything I've read since getting Arnold's encyclopedia as a kid.

The bench fly has given me injuries many times, on my back, close to my shoulders, till I realised if I did them with a smaller opening on my way down (basically the same angle of the floor fly) I would be fine. Your confirmation was all I needed. Thank you.

Great job going over Options. Please keep emphasizing how easy it is to injure your shoulders with some of these options. As we get older we start to feel the pain of the lifting mistakes we made when we were younger.
Hey guys I just posted my top 10 Chest exercises make sure to check it out and leave your feedback!
Any tips for preventing that? I’ve been meaning to start warming up my shoulders more before bench, I just don’t know how
These best to worst videos are fantastic! Super helpful and saving a lot of injuries!
And a lot of time, you dont wanna go to the gym not knowing ur doing ineffective workouts
@@serpentscoil9868 they’re not ineffective the “worse” are just easier and better for beginners who haven’t practice enough for the rest
Take them with grain of salt though, and not as word from god. I 100% disagree with Dips. I used to love them and did them with heavy extra weights too. Eventually they broke my elbow and shoulder. Sure they are effective, but I rank them #1 dangerous excercise,. Way more damaging than bench flys. There are many people who have got into troubles because of dips, just google it if you dont believe just me.
@@samuraidoggy Because you didn't do it right, blame yourself instead of the exercise.
Dips is literally Incline Pushups but you gotta lift your legs instead of resting them on the ground, you have noone else to blame but yourself if you're injured.
Search athleanx dips, and learn more
@@nomnomyourmom That much is obvious., but it goes to everything. Same with the bench flys. I have never injured myself to those, so fot that argument you should argue with the video as well. Listen to your body, not a single person. There are plenty of people hurt to dips, google it.

I was wondering why my incline chest press wasn’t growing my chest and it felt like I was stagnating. You just described it perfectly in terms of the angle so thank you
8:38 my favourite to do when lifting solo. Unlike the bench press, if you cant make the top of a rep towards the end of a set, you dont need a spotter to safely let the weight down.
Guys I have stamina and strength only for 3-4 exercises. What should I do??
@@RedRumble14 how heavy do you go on these excercises?
Thank you for this! I did my chest day today and did the incline Bench Press, I didn’t get that pump I was looking for. Next time definitely doing the 30-45 incline bench press, heavy crossovers, and the barbell/bumble bench press!
This video is awesome!
Bien
As someone still somewhat new-ish to the gym, it’s nice to see that most of the chest exercises I already do, are on the higher end of this list
I like the pushup. In fact when I was in high school I managed to build a lot of muscle through pushups alone. I had to add weight of course, but still I think too many people ignore it in favor of the bench press
Agreed. I’m not sure if it’s coincidence or not, but it seems the bigger and better looking people in my gym are the people that include push-ups in their routine.
Also the equipment is very reasonably priced and easy to find.
@@1Daveable 😂😂
Years ago, I noticed that if I did push-ups every day, I gained strength on flies and dips at 2-3 day intervals much faster.

My physical therapist said dips are one of the worst things for shoulders and most shoulder injuries are from overuse/repetitive use exercises.
Good therapist. Bad on elbows too. My therapist is also an ex competitive bodybuilder. The poster should know better given he mentions his PT background. Flat bench isn’t popular in my circle either - much better things to do. I’d say the single arm crossover can isolate the best - guess it depends on the goal. Bench is something that is outgrown by most who don’t care about showing how much you can push

I was surprised: ruclips.net/video/-pdHr0mvO3w/видео.html
For 30yrs, I loved dips. But, no more. Bicep tendon issues. Great tip on hand angle for flys.
When I lifted heavy weights for 7 years, my chest didn’t get as good as I wanted it. I couldn’t do 50 push ups at that point. Since I stopped the standard bench press, flys, etc and swapped em with burpee’s and lots of push ups my chest has grown considerably in a way shorter matter of time. You have to find what works for you
I started bodybuilding in the1970s.Careful doing those pullovers.Early bodybuilding taught it as a way of expanding the rib cage by doing a set of squats first so you'd be breathing hard.I stretched my rib cage to the point of injury.Not sure what muscles I pulled but I was out for a month.Tried doing a few pullovers a couple yrs ago but felt that familiar pain so X'ed that exercise.
Indeed, don't try this. Your lungs won't change with exercise. "Institute of Human Anatomy" has a video on it, the cardiovascular system is the bottleneck, not the lungs and so they won't adapt. In the video it's theorized that only the absolute top elite endurance athletes may/may not reach the bottleneck of lung capacity but even then, won't be able to adapt and affect the circumference of the thoracic region.
I have a suggestion for another video. Have one on "only dumbell" exercises for different body parts. Many of us do not like gyms or simply cannot afford them. Based on these videos, I have omitted some traditional bad ones and added better ones from your suggestions. However, many of the best that you suggest involve cables and benches - something many of us do not have.
Look for his video '8 best dumbell exercises ever'.

love your videos bro.. and you are ripped. years of training and hard work... !
I like the sitting dip press machine because you can load up past body weight instead of hanging a weight from your hips.
In addition, the fly machine (with grips and pads) keeps constant pressure all the way through, so I feel it's just about as good as the free cable cross.
One of the sucky things about my gym is that the incline bench machine (plates) is so close to a military press, it's not worth it to use for incline press, so I have to make sure I have a spotter if I do the bar and bench.
Great vid - thanks!

Absolutely fantastic. Easily the best fitness creator on YT. It’s not even close. A goldmine of incredibly useful, practical, science-based information.
Funfact: every chest exercise done 'wrong' also works the lower back
Perform any workout wrong enough to hit your back and core
Wronger than last time
Do it so wrong it starts targetting the legs
I like to do both barbell and dumbbell bench press, I use them both in my weekly training.
the concept of ranking is great. thus some of the less ideal exercises can be integrated in a modest and careful way to complement bench presses
The segment on the heavy one-arm crossover blew my mind. I hadnt thought about using my wife's resistance bands for a chest exercise until this video. Now, I put 80-lbs of bands on a door jamb with a foam stopper and blast 5-7 of these and find myself breathing really deep. Thanks for the tip!

Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.
MINTTTT… man been lifting since 16 played high school football and ice hockey then 4 years as an infantry Marine now BJJ practitioner and Group Fitness Instructor at Equinox and man this stuff has helped my own progress by leaps and bounds I was like 80% there and stuck but the subtleties in your coaching and choice of exercises is epic. Thanks Paesano!

@@La2yNinja his training...I did AX1 and about 95 percent of the workouts were under 55 minutes and that is including a warmup

Okay, I can do floor flys. Thank you for restoring my confidence with that one 😅 I was very let down to hear how much danger my shoulders where in and really glad to improve my chest exercises. Thanks 🙏
If you like Flys, do them with cables or with bands. Way better
Because he's an ace trainer, he makes these exercises looks easy. But even missed by slightest of degree in angle while lifting that heavy, it could be extremely dangerous for anyone. I had pull in my left pec which took days to recover from one of his earlier exercises. So be careful about the weight that you use.
@Endless Sporadic Dumbbell chest press with heavy load.
Always get a spotter mate
@@BrightKnight24nah that’s yr fault just go light and work yr way up

@@peanutbread8569 👍🏻
Excellent, very crisp and rational, got yourself a sub. Another improved push-up is the super-slow (especially eccentric) push-up, with elevated legs. *Greatly* increases the effective overload. A reason I like dumbells over barbells for arm exercises and presses is working both arms equally. I lead with the weaker arm, and do the same with the stronger to ensure a balanced workout.
Awesome video! I often exercise in the gym on top of teaching ballet,violin and piano. 30 degree incline bench press, pushups and 1-arm crossovers work well for me. I'm careful not to add too much weight so as not to strain my wrists. Thank you for the informative video! Deeply appreciate it.
You're quite versatile! 😇
The lack of alternation during the cable crossovers triggers my anxiety
You weren't the only one. Maybe focus one size one set then the other side the next set
I'm loving training my chest with rings. Any thoughts on rings vs dumbell press/bench press?
Do you also call "dumbbells" an exercise?
@@toomanyblocks8448 😂😂😂
It's more of a compound exercise involving a lot of core and some legs/triceps/shoulder, so it's not really comparable with a mostly isolated chest exercise like the bench presses.
Me too! Once I started training chest with the rings I saw massive improvement. Ring push ups and ring flys are pure gold for me. Not easy to perform but once the ego goes away the rewards are astonishing. Rings ftw!
Do both
JEff you are the best adivser on RUclips in my opinion ! Thanks for all the great safety tips and in depth kinesiology of the exercises and how to do them properly , over the years !

"Not challenging enough because you can do too many of them"(Talking about pushups). Sure Jeff, that's my problem, if 5 pushups is "too many".
title wrong
If 5 is your limit, you should get training, my dude. You don't even need any equipment to get gains at this point
Sounds like you need to get in shape
I'd call myself relatively strong and can easy push 50 out always do press ups in most of your workouts
Just keep doing them until you can hit 3+ sets of 20. You'll get there; it just takes time and a few gallons of sweat.

Yeah, dips are a good way to wreck the shoulder joint.
And he cares about shoulder health by saying no to bench flyes, but puts dips high on the list.
Reconsider that Jeff.
Seriously.
Push ups are not that light at all.
Guys over 100kg have often a hard time doing them.
And it's easy to make them harder.
Go slow.. most of the time people will have a hard time to go over 20 reps that way.
Elevated feet is another good option. 30 cm height already makes a difference.
RUclips sent me here.
It knew I do almost every exercise wrong. Terrible form. Almost no gains. Frequent injuries.
These videos are great!
I was seeing a difference in 10 days.
One day Jeff Cavelliere will simply burst out of his skin.
Yeh thats what happens when you shoot up lmao
I used to do dips a lot in the past until one day I got a weird condition in my right clavicle-shoulder area. I had shoulder pains and reduced shoulder mobility for a long time. When I was doing dips I was hearing clicks and "grinding" sounds from that area and there was a persistent feeling of discomfort. I'm not sure that the dips themselves were the main cause to it (most probably not), but I had to remove them from my routines completely cause they became unsafe for me. It's been 1.5 years since then and my shoulder is doing fine now but I still prefer to stay away from the dips, doing mostly bench presses.
Search "athleanx dips" to learn how to do it safely
I do what Arnold does. He can do squats for chest gains, and I'll follow suit.
Ahaha you're funny
Super helpful, I’ve definitely experienced what he’s referring to with accidental overloading of the anterior shoulder. It’s so easy for that to take over, the pec muscles are actually attacked to bone pretty close to the shoulder so it makes sense that anterior delts would take over with either too much weight or improper form/bad exercises.
Took notes of all of this, gonna try the DB/Barbell bench press + Heavy 1-arm crossovers as a superset today. Thanks Jeff.
how did it go? I also thought to make it easier equipment wise, is if you bring the dumbbells to the cable machine and do the press off the floor? what do you think?
