*💪 CLICK THAT NOTIFICATION BELL SO YOU NEVER MISS AN UPLOAD!* Having that 'shelf' look for your upper chest is what we all want. That's why we have the incline press!

[@jessicabrewington3943]

I just honestly LOVE your demonstrations, it has helped me so much, especially when I first started gym to not look silly haha so thank you!

[@tomwalters122]

scott what angle should i please the bench, is that 15 degrees or 30 in the video? lover your content , greetings from belgium

[@chickennugget2809]

12 years ago these videos are posted and they still help me out so much

[@michaelmuncy8136]

Amen brother

[@ilyasa.mehkri7831]

They are helpful but so much research has been done on how to make these workouts even more effective so updated vids would be nice. for example, going 90 degrees out is no longer considered the most optimal way. rather, you want it to be angle slightly inward

[@felhuy]

I don't get the first part... Should i remove my shirt before or after entering the gym?

[@skandalbanker]

Scott strips his shirt when performing instruction-videos because then you can see the excercises better, e.g. the angles of legs and arms, flexions and so on. if he'd weare a pullover, you couldn't see the form of the movement precisely

[@HAL-dm1eh]

felhuy He does that so you know he's legit. Would you buy a diet pill from a fat guy?

[@guyinspideysuit7500]

felhuy dumbass he removes his shirt for us to see the muscle movements noob

[@jonitalia6748]

The first part is to have a body fat % under 15, have noticeable muscle definition, and then take your shirt off. If you do it wrong you'll look dumb.

[@thecastle09]

felhuy before of course

[@saiedgiyanikak8611]

Your little "trick" on getting those dumbells up caused me to fart in front of this chic that was doing squats about 3 feet away from me. I WAS gonna try to holler at her but that ruined that. Thanks.

Cool!! I’m gonna give it my first go tomorrow. I’ve been inclined bench with the barbell for a little while now this year, and it’s been hell on my shoulders😂 I finally got to hang of it though and I added rear and side delt workouts. It’s helped my bench out a lot.

[@martijn130370]

good tips Scott! I like doing dumbbell incline bench press + dumbbell incline flye = 4 / 5 sets back to back.

[@Rebsten]

Thank's for making these, you've really helped a novice, solo gym goer like myself avoid a lot of injury and see some proper gains!

[@rizzla092]

where are your gains?

[@SYEDSHAZEB46013]

[@indiGlo_myco]

The reason I like his videos is simply because we have the same build and and muscle shape so it's easy to see where i'll be in about a year or so. Need to get that shoulder and back thickness built on my end, however.

[@AttireCasual]

90 degrees is the key! The pressure is more concentrated on the chest. Thank you fr pointing that out.

[@tarrenn5241]

You have helped me a lot, thanks...

[@Pube83]

@CIarKent By keeping a natural arch (or even exaggerated) in your lower back, it reduces the chance of injury. Keeping your shoulder blades tucked also reduces the chance of injury and puts much less stress on the shoulder joint itself. It's also helpful when working the chest because when your shoulder are down and back it allows more stretch or ROM (range of motion) in the pectorals AND takes the stress off the anterior deltoids (front shoulder) so focus is almost purely on the pecs.

[@drusillagillen5690]

Thank you - perfectly explained.

[@pcturedslr7285]

Thanks for posting!

[@mrpug3262]

[@CounterphitSkateTeam]

Thank you so much for this video. Today when I was doing this press my shoulders felt like they were "popping" and I couldnt figure out why. Now I understand it was because I had my elbows to far back and was putting the pressure on my rotator cuffs.

[@DeeAntonio]

Its sooooooooooooo hard not invole your shoulders during pressing movement excercises like the bench, incline, presses. Its the form that has to be spot on to avoid any future damage. But all in your shoulders will always be involved and fatique quicker then your Chest will. Good Vid brother,, keep up the great work !

Thnx i had been doing the first one.

Good demo. db incline is my main lift for chest. I have no problem hoisting the db's up with lighter weights, but when they get heavy (around my 6 rep max) I struggle getting them into position with my knees and momentum (in the manner you demonstrate). Any tips on how to avoid this unnecessary energy expenditure?

[@PrincipalSkinner3190]

I actually find that setting the bench to 4 isolates my upper chest more, while setting it to three brings more of my middle chest into play.

[@HotfactsReacts]

Good info. Most people just show the reps. I do as you in my videos.

[@wekiwisdofly85]

Thanks for that mate

[@Rocket4ce]

You should pick up the dumbbells just like a deadlift. Feet under handle, bend knees and lift. Then sit with the dumbbells.

[@pasta8793]

well he's trying to show exactly how your body should look when doing an exercise, it makes it easier to see his body than if he were wearing a fuckin hoodie. take your insecurity somewhere else

[@trex2957]

Already said by another member. Take YOUR insecurity somewhere else.

[@Kole208]

My shoulder gave out on me today while I was incline dumbbell pressing, I felt as though my form was just about perfect, but when I reached the top to lock out position my right shoulder just gave out and the weight came crashing down and nicked me on the side. The pain wasn't bad at all and I was able to finish my workout but now I'm just scared to incline dumbbell press, are their people who just don't have strong enough shoulders for this? I was so pissed cause the weight went up fairly easily but my shoulder didn't agree with it. Keep in mind I give myself about 5 or so minutes to warm up my shoulder and get it loose, I'm not sure what went wrong.

what do you recommend for an alternative to incline db and incline barbell? I have a neck injury that gets activated every time I do the incline. thanks!

[@valor999]

@ zaffe93 if the bench is higher, it'll hit upper chest more. put it to high though, and it'll starting hitting shoulders alot as well.
