Damn, the transition from narrow to wide grip was good. You should isolate that clip.

[@itsbelev]

Ayoh

[@Corteggy]

😭😭😭

[@Candyrock15]

Man was stroking them thangs

[@RacismIsMentalillness]

Fr I been playing it back and forth for 20 mins 😩

[@alloy9861]

Ayoooo

[@LionelInel]

Yea a good tip for most exercise is to extend your thumb to the limit of the handle then grab there

[@angelksh567]

I accidentally figured this out at the gym just felt weird with close grip

[@zw3565]

I am going to pay more attention to my hands I just grip and go so sometimes I bet it is right and others not.

[@georgemichael7773]

Doesn’t work everyone this depends on the length of your arms and height I get a maximum contraction with close grip on the upper chest and if you if you go wide grip with shorter arms your going to be proned for shoulder injury

[@prajwal_747]

Seat height adjustment??

[@MP-py1ei]

Tried the wider grip makes one hell of a difference

[@gerardiperformance]

yes sir

[@Ryan-lr1gy]

Stretched out my arms and still feel my arms but not chest. What’s going on?

[@franklingomez2169]

@Ryan retract your shoulder. It may feel weird at first, but you'll end up feeling a crazy stretch of that pec. And also make sure the handle is around nipple level.

[@mo4d-7]

@@Ryan-lr1gy arch your back , retract your scapula and slow the tempo

[@Bane1Mirin]

@@mo4d-7 I have a rotator cuff strain can I still use this machine ?

[@knownoboundaries___]

Hmmm. Well, if mechanical tension is what you are looking for, then keep your hands in closer. Wouldn't having your hands in closer activate more chest fibers considering you are adducting? Yes, abducting your hands will cause the chest to lengthen, but if more tension is what you are looking for, keep the hands in and perform the movement.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

Y’all never heard of stretch mediated hypertrophy?

[@andreipotato3828]

So it seems you need a close 90 degrees at the elbow . Thx

[@JG-yc2fr]

So are you counting weight together or separate per arm

[@yannickwillems8523]

Do u need to arch?

[@QuanNguyen-jo6ee]

what part of the chest does this mainly target on?upper or lower or overall?Is it good to replace incline dumbbell bench press to this machine?

[@hatman3005]

It works the upper chest but its better to use dumbbells

[@maherkhaznaji]

Please how much weight you are pushing if you have one 45 plate each side

[@leonarronquillo593]

What part of chest does this machine target? Will the upper chest get stimulated as well with thjs one?

[@amanrshorts6903]

It’s for upper chest as it’s an inline press

[@realistically9091]

It does both upper and lower, inclines always works upper and lower equally

[@marcial_belen]

Upper and mid

[@athuljosebiju2843]

Is this for upper chest

[@mylefteye]

Good advice but remember folks, you need to figure out how it works for you and your chest. All depends all on you since everyone has a different body type. Go get it boys. 🤙

[@randyfiglehorn9192]

Thank you for the tips, I need more videos on these machines since moving into a building with them all.

[@WKWatch]

Pretty sure close grip works if you put your seat higher the angle of the close grip at this height is weird cause your hand are almost directly in line with your shoulder. The angle of the space between your arm and body should be more narrow for close grip if all your targeting the shoulder like that not the triceps

[@Hitman-2003]

The decline bench press machine looks similar Whats the difference between the two

[@chrisgunn4797]

This works your upper pecks The decline works the bottom/underneath

[@shubhamsinha2362]

Can someone tell me if this is a better alternative to inclined dumbell press or does it target a different part of the chest

[@localcrisis]

do i puff my chest out and keep my upper back straight on the bench?

[@zapataboy9377]

On a chest press machine it doesnt really matter imho. Maybe you'll slightly work less your upper chest conpared to the rest of the chest but at the end of the day you're still hitting the chest. Do whatever is more comfortable for you

[@iansorensen2474]

Shit I been doing it with 1 hand at a time

[@qadlaonyt8670]

😂😂😂

[@yeahsowhat643]

😂 yep but you got to do both sides then both together for 4 sets lol

[@TAkTiX94]

What's wrong with that?

[@davem.3309]

@@yeahsowhat643what’s your 10 rep max ?

[@arpitshivhare217]

Mine are having straight handles not these bent ones

[@XskiillzXx]

Bro no wonder my Tricep was hurting when doing these, going to try it next time. Thanks!

[@sf2explus184]

it might still hurt but a little elss the other way since u have to still use triceps no matter what

[@youvebeenhacked9339]

I knew I was doing something wrong because the very beginning of my tricep is quite more muscular than most (idk I ain't a pro yet)

[@Anonymous77-s1s]

Same bro

[@youvebeenhacked9339]

@@Anonymous77-s1s update 7 months later, I'm fine now.

[@Anonymous77-s1s]

@youvebeenhacked9339 thats good man.

[@Anonymous77-s1s]

@youvebeenhacked9339 ive noticed my triceps have been getting bigger instead of my upper chest, so im gonna start widening my grip

[@prajwal_747]

Is this for upper chest?

[@httrall-day4648]

No, for your abs!

[@imperia6368]

Whenever I do with Press machine my left side gets a hit but the right side is lagging behind because I use my left side a lot then my right side

[@sOURAVRana2001]

Same bro but my right side is strong

[@imperia6368]

@@sOURAVRana2001 we must be carefull , my left side lifts the weight properly than the right side as a result my right pec muscle got a little tore due to posture problem my body aligned itself in a way that my left side lifts better hence I think I tore or damaged my right pec, now it's smaller than the left and Sometimes hurts, need to visit a physiotherapist

[@Gab-wr2ye]

​@@imperia6368 shit man u down bad

[@emalior5000]

Should the lower back be hard up against the back support, I see people move their buttocks forward but wouldn't this defeat the purpose of doing in incline. Butt forward turns it into a flat press in my opinion. True or not?

[@salamyaya162]

Very well.

[@jamesfejes1831]

Ty fam

[@Nanachi79]

Thanks brother

[@terrencemilton5088]

I do both close and wide press. I did today. Yall need to pay closer attention.

[@realistically9091]

Wrong close still works the pecs , just emphasis more upper (a lot) then lower but still gets some lower, and more tris. Do your research before spouting nonesense .

[@SalsaCaballero]

Should the handles be aligned with your nipples or slightly above? Thanks

[@goaltotroll4241]

Hey Scott Herman

[@Motivation_Of_Future]

Thx man

[@hemantchavan5012]

After this set i become robot 🤖 tightness and stiffness 😅

[@SoniaChadwick-i2u]

My first time on it I did 45 kg using this grip

[@salimsalim7180]

It is ths same incline dumbbell

Most people in my gym did this wrong.

[@kahsaymhretu407]

Perfekt 🎉❤

[@robdiaz6827]

Well the closer the trip... The further the arm.will stretch the pec

[@Rantvph]

thank you for the tips

[@Meliodas.Dragon1]

Thank you. I also arch my back to expose my chest in order to get maximum chest activation.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

Only that does the opposite of activating the chest, unless you’re also protracting the shoulders at the end of the press - precisely why powerlifters arch their back: to deload the chest and increase the amount of weight they can lift.

[@jonathanhelms9184]

I get 100% more contraction with hands at the end.

[@boglinz]

Same, full contraction I get cleavage, wider I just don't feel it.

[@SON_ZER0_7]

Facts 💪🏿

Didn’t even mention arch your back if you stil don’t feel it

This exercise always hurts my shoulders

Mine too

Adjust the seat good and it wont and my one can move unilateral This is my favourite

[@maysenprice]

@@titomurat1015 how should I have the seat adjusted? Fucked my left shoulder up real bad doing this last time

[@titomurat1015]

@@maysenprice Well go with low weight and then adjust the seat so you don't feel shoulders Easy My chest press is a beautiful Nautilus its like hammer strength same and you can go unilaterally with it but ofc I do with 2 handles at the same time Yeah its the same as the chest press in this video

[@facundosilva2449]

My shoulders were killing me today after doing this inclined chest press machine and the laying down one too, I thought it was my technique but is it? It's definitely not the grip, maybe it's the bench position idk.

[@LLA_Remy]

AAAAYYYOOOwhy u rub the handle like that

[@frankieboy8414]

Your seat is too low

The technique was worse than maguires season in 21/22
