[@ScottHermanFitness]

Be honest... how many of you went down the rabbit hole of trying "new exercises" you saw on TikTok / IG REELS and after realizing you spent weeks wasting your time you came back to your senses and just started benching more often with heavier weight and more sets?! Don't be shy! Share your stories fam!

[@brandonw2471]

Never had tiktok or insta but I did go down a different rabbit hole of new excersises back when I used to watch a lot of Athlean-X. Not saying all of Jeff's suggestions are bad, but the huge amount of exercise suggestions he gives can be super overwhelming for beginners. Athlean-X videos on uncommon exercise variations are probably better for experienced lifters looking for ways to change up how they train to avoid injuries. But it's easy for beginners to get sucked in when his titles and thumbnails are so appealing to beginners. ("How to get 19 in arms fast"? If I'm a naive noobie lifter, hell yeah I'm gonna click that)

[@tonys4341]

Nope. Never tried anything from Instagram or TikTok. I always think, "What would Arnold do"? Hard to go wrong that way.

[@eddieagui1554]

Good video man .thx 💪

[@RetalMules]

I'm never gonna use tiktok or IG so I'm not a good one to ask about social media work out advice. Unrelated but when I got into lifting/bodybuilding: my only exercises I did were tricep overhead extensions and dB curls. Everyday. Lol, and that was all on me bc I didn't ask anyone or research. 😂 Hahah

[@vamp6767]

Nah, trying doesn't hurt, but when I get serious, I always stick to a good old Scott Herman program.

[@linhngo7398]

I started watching your videos 8 years ago. I knew nothing about fitness. I'm so thankful that you made this channel.

[@vamp6767]

Regarding the last point: Literally noone uses the 45kg and above dumbbells in my current and previous gyms. The day 50kg dumbbells become too light for me, I'm just gonna pick up random people and bench press them.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

not a bad idea! haha I need 110s to 115s pound dumbbells for a good set.

[@DwayndibbVids]

This is why us smaller folk can always get dumbells as the bench press are full. We dominate the dumbells 😂

[@Lukes93]

Thanks for covering nearly everything I can think of that I’ve needed help with, but I can’t seem to find a video about rest days and whether to take them. Or should we push through 7 days (within reason of lifestyle activities and what not) as long as we are supplementing with the right diet to recover? Thank you

[@DwayndibbVids]

This is so true those cables would be superior than the seated chest fly.

[@trw3865]

Hey Scotty, how wide is your shoulder span and how big around is your pelvis, or where your belt would normally go? Just curious about your shoulder to waist ratio. Thanks

[@residentevilumbrella2001]

Of all the workouts you demonstrated in the video, the only one I don't do is Dips, for a few reasons: I don't have a dip station and my body weight would make my shoulders hurt, because I'm 280.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Having a dip station would definitely help! Haha. But yeah that’s understandable. Can always hit those decline presses man!

My two primary chest exercises are the Bar Bell Bench and the Incline Dumb Bell Press. I will vary the reps and sets but I really like Rest/ Pause sets. I started doing the Incline Dumb Bell press after seeing one of your videos ( of course). Thanks a million brother.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

My pleasure Evan! Yeah rest pause sets are a great addition for busting through a plateau!

[@muhamedbalboa6416]

So Hammer strenght chest press dips and bench press Are the best Is it Like this scot? 1. bench press dumbell barbell 2. cables 3. dips but if you have shoulder pain chest pres ? Can it place 3? Also dumbell press is awsome a good gym will give a heavy dumbell it is so easy there Are dumbelss 100kg and more

[@donkeyking475]

I can barely figure out what weight I should start with having never worked out a day in my life let alone try new tiktok exercises

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Haha. Trial and error is how you’ll figure out the weight you need to use!

[@hathlete4ever916]

I always love what I see on here Scott! Now unfortunately I do not have access to a gym at this time, but I do have equipment at home in my basement. I do not have any machines, but I have dumbells and a barbell. The barbell and dumbell exercises I can bring to work with me and share with clients/patients. Thank you Scott!

[@Etb323]

Hey, Scott. I was watching this video of a guy doing preacher curls and snapping his muscle. I’ve been following your channel for a long time, but I don’t recall videos of why and how to prevent these injuries. Maybe video idea?

[@domepiece11]

You gotta control the eccentric. Using PEDs also greatly increases your risk of tendon and ligament tears.

[@ecosx2618]

Just don’t use heavy weights and you’ll be fine. If you can’t get at least 6 reps you have no business trying to curl it. The biceps are a very small muscle and they don’t need a lot of weight to challenge them

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Could be for sure! I think I know the one you’re talking about. Could be a few things - not warming up enough, too far on the eccentric (preacher curls you should have a slight bend at the bottom), from what I remember his tempo was good

[@lzsecured3880]

[@jayanttotlani263]

Another drawback to heavyweight dumbell presses is getting them on and off can be difficult and possibly dangerous if you don’t do them properly. Had a buddy of mine crack his hardwood floors by dropping a pair of 70s too hard after hitting DB Bench.

Incline dumbbell flies, and Presses, are part of my bench press day. Flat bench 37kg, 4 Sets/15 Reps. Add 10 for 47kg, 4 sets/12 Reps. Then go Incline with 47kg, 4 sets/12 Reps. Last, reduce back down to 37kg for 4 sets/15 Reps. Followed by 3 sets dumbbell press and flies with 16kg dumbbells, 15 Reps and 12 Reps respectively. Feels good, and the next day I get that tightness in my arms and chest. Not trying to get big so it's good enough for me at 54 years old.

Why cant the myth die that machines are more for beginners. I would argue machines are better for building muscle than any free weight exercise.

[@faelgrim5130]

Yes and no. Machines are usually better for advanced lifters because the muscle base is already established, so the machine can be used to eke out just a little bit more progressive overload. They're also helpful reducing the stress of heavy compound lifts, which cannot be performed as frequently the higher you go in weight. Beginners should almost ALWAYS start out with the basic compound lifts to build their muscular base.

[@joojotin]

@@faelgrim5130 I completely agree, there is value to learning the basic compounds. Im just saying the myth that machines are for beginners really needs to die.

[@joojotin]

@@faelgrim5130 why do you think beginners should almost always start with free weights tho? Are you personal trainer?

[@faelgrim5130]

@@joojotin Yeah I agree on your original point too. Beginners need to work on the stabilizer muscles as well as the major muscles. I used to go to planet fitness, best decision I ever made was to switch to a gym with free weights. Only training on machines was holding me back so much as a beginner. When I used a free weight bench press I couldn't lift nearly as much weight as I should have been able to, the stabilizers were nonexistent.

It took over 2 weeks for you to make a new video? Man, you're getting lazy these days. Well, at least it's not another one of those lame vertical short videos that a lot of bodybuilders are doing lately. Anyway, Scott, what do you think of a person going into starting a supplement store reselling? I want to order supplements at a discount and resell them retail online for profit. To test this idea out, I ordered 6 supplements (3 are a fat burner; and the others boots testosterone) at a 51% discount and after my dad recovers from his knee surgery and doesn't need my constant help, I will put them on eBay at retail. Right now I'm only testing things out to see if this business idea works.
