Chest Exercise Better Than Bench Press!

[@RicardoRodriguez-sy3qg]

Incline bench, Dips, Flat db press, cable flys works wonders for my chest

[@malcolmd7050]

Yeah on my push focused upper body day I just do incline bench, dips and cables 🔥

[@Hybr1d6]

Anything is better than barbell pressing tbh

[@dankmemes385]

i do the same except dumbell flys, i just can't get the stance right on cable flys ...

[@austinhowley3907]

The flat barbell bench looking at the four exercises you replaced it with- LOOK WHAT THEY NEED TO MIMIC A FRACTION OF OUR POWER!? jk your program sounds great esp on the joints

When at the gym, I’m always looking forward to do cables for my arms, chest and shoulders workouts. I noticed the difference between cables and machine workouts. I switch it up. One day cables, next day machines and weights on another

[@DANA-lx8cv]

I'm a fan of heavy flat bench, but i'll readily admit that it's probably not the absolute best way to build a big chest. It is the most fun way, IMO, though, and can't be beat for improving upper body strength. I don't have a cable fly in my home gym, so I occasionally rig up bands to simulate it as my finisher for chest, and it does hit the muscles for sure. I can't see myself replacing bench with anything as my prime movement, as it's one of the big motivators for getting me to lift period, but I see a lot of advantages of cable fly for sure. Great video as always!

[@jonfernandez8027]

I'm old school AF - barbell multi joint lifts from my first day pumping iron. But it's time for something new! lol I'm sure my neuromuscular recruitment will be challenged, arms shakin'/flailin' everywhere but I'll give this a solid shot. Thanks Jonni. 👍

[@RoidfreeSenior]

I don't even feel my pecs benching, probably because I have had to drastically change my form to make it work for my shoulders. I can do incline machine & chest press machine with minimal shoulder pain, and both hit the pecs well

[@dawsonboyd7229]

I’m in the same boat. I find myself being more concerned with my shoulder than focusing on what the exercise is supposed to do for me

[@anthonycollins7589]

We so programmed to do flat BB bench cause of high school football 😅 we getting old gotta get that work and protect them joints 😅

[@dlasti]

I like both, especially doing flyes after pressing, for each angle of the exercise. The pump is insane afterwards. Another awesome video Jonni. Thanks

[@Black_Adam911]

Great video. I've been lifting for over 27 years and I barely bench press. Never did much for me. I'm a pretty big guy and people find it odd that I say I don't bench when asked. I'm glad there's science behind it now.

[@sethrollinss]

I'm with you. I do same. No bench press. I feel nothing doing bench press even with the world's most correct form.

[@Gainsforlife]

there isn't science behind it yet. the science hasn't yet been discovered it seems you were just lucky to have found out about it before anyone else and before science could justify it. give it another 10 years and maybe some scientist will be able to explain it.. if there was science behind it, it would only be because you were doing it before science was behind it

[@jamesg1974a]

If you have any shoulder issues like me, the barbell press is too painful.

I have never never dun cable flys !( dont realy know why) but i have just started doing them ...your way !! And me chest has Never been as sore ! All of it ! Not just a bit !!! So again Jonnie, Brilliant and Thankyou for the training methods! John in Leeds, England

[@dshepard05]

Incredible video Jonni

[@josephberthiaume]

That might have been your best video yet.

[@pretty_flaco]

i’ve quit regular straight bb bench pressing years ago… bb ohp and incline db for upper, kabuki kadillac bar for a neutral press, cable fly presses (featured in this vid) and dips are GOATED

[@gertikajaci]

Great job jonni Always have the best explanations for the viewer and I think you read my comment about being a bit more on the point. Either way love this new you A bit of this and a bit of that but mostly onto the workout and on point Love you man!

Love your videos, thanks Jonni!❤

[@jamesg1974a]

I live on the cables but it is sometimes challenging to look at the weight and see how low it is compared to either a dumbbell brass, or a barbell press.

[@treflippa2]

Don't let ego keep you from your gains! If you're getting better results on the cables then stick to the cables my friend!

[@JS-jj1vg]

I really like all your videos as they are all with honesty in how to gain muscle.

[@that_guy628]

Would you say thats specific to CABLES? Or would a pec deck machine do just as well?

[@saulsarruff]

Awesome educational content. This is what I look for. Thanks💯

[@ascension1199]

These videos are so on point

[@boja2907]

Nothing hits your chest shoulders and triceps like the Dip. That deep stretcg at the bottom will give you such strong contractions, you will be left sore for days. Gains are unparalleled and have tremendous carryover to other lifts.

[@Hupernike45]

Hey Jonni, you've been a huge help to me. I'm 64 and I grew up in the shadow of the old Boston Garden. so I'm very familiar with the significance of the photo in the frame behind you. Bobby Orr, #4, scored the 4th goal (that one he's flying for) in the 4th game, in the 4th period, in his 4th year with the Bruins, after receiving an assist from Derek Sanderson to win the Stanley Cup in May of 1970.

[@AccidentalH3ro]

Personal I avoid cable workouts, simply because it’s a hassle to find the overall right positioning to pull the weight without feeling imbalanced. I prefer the seated fly/delt machine and incorporate the same movements as cable flys. I tend to feel it in my pecs far more then any another chest workouts.

[@mrthorpe32777]

I'm a pec deck guy myself. I do high and low Flys with the cables.

[@outsidedawg]

hydrate and warm up your chest well before doing any barbell press, I sprained/tore the belly of the pec recently bench pressing. After I heal I am going to do flys first and then bench last.

[@richardjennex6583]

Good evening brother hope all is well with you and your family

[@allenharden05]

Thank you so much for this video.🎉 it's so hard to do a bench press with loop resistance bands

[@carlcolvin8320]

Did bench press this morning. 3sets 3 245 lbs. 4 sets 5 at 195 lb both on flat bench. Inclined bench 4 sets 5 at 195 lb. Afterwards 60 reps on seated rows. Tomorrow pec/delt flys , tri's bi's and flies on the cable. By the way I'm 64.

[@marc2638]

Cable flys and the peck deck stacked with the decline and incline bench does it for me there is nothing else I need to help me develop my chest. Benching has never done anything for me but bring me plateaus and injuries and I’ve never ever felt my chest only my bis tris shoulders and back period!!!

[@phillipleak9015]

For chest i do incline press flat db press dips cable flys and gymnastics rings dips. along with wooden paralette bar push up variations plus bodyweight chest push up variations. weight plus resistance and bodyweight training for full hypertrophy size mass and aesthetics.

[@DeRockMedia]

I feel doing triple drop sets on any muscle group has shown amazing pumps and muscle growth, I highly advise drop sets for maximum tears in muscle fibers

[@CycoWarriorx]

I do the cable flies as you outlined, but I set the cable up above shoulder height… am I doing this wrong… should it be shoulder height???

[@jamesviper8446]

Use cables myself, normally when I do, I do a super-set, and that lights my chest up. The big chest, breath part I'm going to add to the program.

[@TheBeast-mc7xu]

I've gotten to where I prefer using dumbbells, dips, Smith machine, cables for my chest training instead of the barbell bench presses. Easier to train time under tension with Dumbbells, and Smith Machine

[@elcorijns9708]

nice...........can i lean in a bit, with the cables coming from slightly lower, to target the upper chest a bit more??

I'm going add the cables along with benchpress when I can. Unfortunately my gym only has two cable machines so it's difficult to get on one. I incredibly hate waiting on those machines! 😅😅😅😅😅

I try doing this for the first time in my gym today and holy shitt how much I felt my chest burning and I only put 20 weight and it burn😭, also I been doing bench press 35s each side and it has been challenging but I like it because I only do 5 and holding the weight

[@bastienpaisley9575]

Was considering to hit chest for the first time, that timing can’t be a coincidence !

[@KontryBoy706]

just got back from the gym, chest day for me today and Now I'm seeing this video lol. I actually didn't do flat bench press today. I find myself doing more incline or smith machine cable press or cable flys

[@DISCONNECT83]

I do cable flys and adjust the cables on shoulder height, than high and finally low. I don't use much weight but higher reps. After that I use different kinds of machine flys. After that my pecs are fried.😅

[@MetalsForBrunch]

I feel more growth when doing pushups, heavy dumbbells ,dips and cable flys.

[@no_nosestill_close8010]

Can you do a video coaching the best bench press best to worst or is flat bench even worth it if you’re doing incline and decline?

You know you're near failure with flyes when your biceps start trembling lol

[@carlanthonyholmes2162]

I do steep incline press first , then move to cable flys. Haven't flat benched in over a year. Chest has grown.

[@jamesg1974a]

I’m curious about how steep… As that would primarily work your delts. Is your goal to wear them out so that the other exercise is better target your chest?

[@carlanthonyholmes2162]

Yes, the incline press pre exhausts my front delts and upper chest at the same time.@@jamesg1974a Angle at 45 degreees, sometimes over that.

[@assafmatia9823]

great as always! when you say triple drop set you mean 1 set, reduce weight, 1 set, reduce weight , 1 last set? and is that enough or better do another triple drop srt after a 1-2 minute of rest?

[@JonniShreve]

So a triple drop set is: 1 set, reduce the weight, second set, reduce the weight 3rd set . like you said first, then you rest. Usually I program 2 - 3 tripe drop sets. so you would do that 2-3 times. resting in between.
