[@Sharkenite]

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation, my shoulders have been hurting painfully with this specific exercise only and it's because I have short arms a.k.a. short range of motion. I thought I was doing it right or I was lifting too heavy or maybe I wasn't stretching or a combination of all but I'm certain it's because of my depth. I will try not going back so far on my next push day!

Even though it might be a bit more challenging because they’re indavidual pieces, I use these; as a skinnier newbie to lifting I find this exercise amazing for me because I can use lighter dumbbells, normal barbells usually weigh around 20 kilos and my chest cannot handle these (keeping proper form) on an incline so these are amazing, if you’re a newbie and wanna build up to using a barbell I would recommend these highly

[@murciaramirez4394]

First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzbin.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

[@carlosgomez5335]

One thing to keep in mind guys is to squeeze your chest on your way up and at the very top on each rep. Don’t just push the weight to get it from A to B.

[@michaelsassano3213]

Was gonna say I always give a solid second at the top of the rep to really squeeze

[@BigstickNick]

A good way to activate it, is squeeze your elbows like you are trying to tuck them in. Like you are trying to bounce your chest, then press.

[@emmdeee]

And don't lockout at the top. Find the sweet spot and keep repping

[@nathanpetronzio6919]

Idk man… I became obsessed about keeping those blades pinched back on all press moves. But specifically through incline movements I created a horrific shoulder impingement (by not allowing the shoulders to roll forward at all). Took months to recoup and workout without funky pain. Decline, straight presses, totally fine. But be super careful pinching shoulders back when doing incline presses.

[@turntablesrockmyworld9315]

thanks for info. When you saw y roll forward, do you mean at the top of your motion you allow natural movement forward?

[@ElSmiley1000]

One good way to lay down with the weights is rather than "kick" them up leave them on your knees and lay backwards with the weights on your knees(obviously hold the weights) but this allows your legs to bring the weights into position using your bodys momentum rather than using some precious energy to get the weights up

Love your style. It goes through the details and is easy to understand. 👌 I’m someone who thrives better with instructions rather than improv.

[@vlr2245]

Good explanation! There I only have 1 point of criticism: When doing this exercise it is very important that both feet are flat on the floor. What you do is lean on your toes during the exercise. This is not good for your balance and can cause injuries.

[@calvincooley1074]

A great deal of shoulder involvement displayed here. IMO.

[@MindPumpTV]

Calvin Cooley depends what you mean by “great deal” . It’s at a 30 degree incline to the chest to shoulder ratio is probably close to 70/30 split . A flat bench would be even more chest . A steeper incline would be even more shoulder . It’s all relative to the angle of the bench and it’s impossible to isolate the chest. The shoulders will always play a role

[@calvincooley1074]

Mind Pump TV If the bells are always kept at a 90 degree angle during any Dbell chest movement the shoulder involvement can be reduced by approximately 95% IMO. In this video I'm noticing that at your profile shots show your elbows lining up more above the nipple line closer to the shoulder line, indicating more shoulder involvement. If the elbows are always lined up with the nipple line on on all Dbell chest press movements then the energy has a better flow through the shoulders to the chest. "Straight across" (as if grabbing a straight bar) Dbell grip/alignment allows the elbows to creep back to line up with the shoulders, thus sending energy to and not through the rotator. 27 plus years of weight training with no training related injuries. I'll also add that I'm a paraplegic of 30 years as of 8.10.18. so I'm sure that you'll get how important it is that I protect my shoulders. Thank you.

Calvin Cooley false

Mind Pump TV Lol I'll stick with false then.
