This comment is on every one of his videos lol, but its so true. Started messing with weights about 7 years ago, taking advice from people all over KZbin. And I've found that over the years all the other channels slip away into the junk draw, while only a very few consistent ones seem to remain. This is one of them. It's one of those channels that always seems to confirm a logical training method or lifting technique that u presumed was right anyway through using a bit of common sense. He's great.

Know I’m late to the party, but how inclined are you doing your presses? Sounds like it’s too steep of an angle and therefore incorporating your front delts… From what I’ve learned/experienced, you really only need between a 15degree to 30degree incline or decline when hitting either for chest pressing movements. Hope this helps! Happy lifting!

People often think that keeping the feet on the bench activates the chest more. I can see how that can make sense to someone, but with heavy weights that can be dangerous. Working on strength while being unstable can only lead to eventual injury. Keep the two separate as they should be. Another informative video here and as always good to see practical information.

Its most often used by power lifters to increase their range of motion that they usually intentionally limit as well as to still have a relatively intense chest workout at lower weight as a substitute on their 2nd or 3rd chest workout for the week. Its not a movement to build top end strength.

I don't normally if I have the space (which I currently don't) but I do tend to bring my legs up in the air towards the end to help activate my core. If I don't do this I find a muscle in my mid to lower back starts to spasm towards the end of a set and ruins it. And generally I've found no real difference in my ability with feet up or down.
@FitLabb
@FitLabb 3 жыл бұрын
@@JPPWB Not quite enough info to go on here, but thought I’d chime in to be helpful if I could. From what you said, I might suggest working on strengthening your core & learning how to actively engage it when needed for things like this. Could be other things going on there too, but so many people have a weak core compared to other muscle groups, which can put you at an increased risk of injury (mainly to your lower back) and/or can possibly limit your strength development in many different lifts as the core is a key component in so many movements. I see this as something that’s very important for functional movement & making safer & better progress overall in your strength training. Hope that was helpful & wish you all the best! 💪👍

90 degree flair at the shoulders is how I hurt my left shoulder flat beaching years ago. I was new to lifting and hurt myself at 185lbs on the bar. For a long time after, I had a mental block at 185lbs and couldn't progress passed it. I've gotten more serious over the part several weeks, and I'm happy to say that, with proper form, I pushed 235lbs for two reps yesterday, a personal best.

Actually you get more chest activation when elbows are flared. Shoulder internal rotation causes the chest to do more of the work. Elbows tucked causes you to load more on the triceps. It’s an old bodybuilding debate. Do what makes you feel more comfortable

It’s the opposite. Tucked elbows recruit the front delt and triceps significantly more. There are several biomechanical diagrams online demonstrating this with EMG data backing it up. Flared elbows to 80 degrees gives maximal chest activation. I used to tuck my elbows to “save my shoulders” and after several years of lifting my chest was always lagging behind. It wasn’t until I properly flared my elbows that my chest exploded with growth

I was watching Lee Priest doing dumbbell press and was like “thats not optimal” then tried it and realized thats why my chest sucks and my triceps are good. Literally no chest activation for me when I tuck them past 80 degrees. Thats why we have close grip bench and gripping the bar wider makes it more pec.

I made every mistake in this video a lot while in my first year of weight training (mid 20s)... I noticed a LOT of shoulder joint pain and inflammation as a result. I think over time I recognised these mistakes which were in actual fact me trying to supplement the lift with front delts and even my joints. I've since rectified them and focus a lot more on accessory work in between heavy sessions so strengthen the joints. The way I see it, muscles come and go over time but mess up your joints and that's you screwed indefinitely. Oh, and I also got much stronger. Good vid! Edit: Spelling

I'm curious about #3. I had been doing my presses at a more tucked position for a while and when I'm done I feel a lot more strain on my rotator cuff and shoulders and not nearly the burn in my pecs. I switched to closer to 90 deg and I'm feeling much more in my pecs and I'm not feeling pain in my shoulder area. I'm not sure how to resolve that problem without going to the wider elbows. I should also mention that due to a lack of equipment I'm doing one side at a time, so that could be a contributing factor.

Maybe you are more trained at 90 on your supporting muscles. When you shift closer to you chest you should target more fibers of the chest, like inner chest (it's true for the most majority) but you also change a bit from your shoulder and arm activation, it might only seem less targeting because this new activation or yours is weaker than your previous 90 deg wich mean that your body is also trying to reinforce that part of the arms/shoulder that wasn't activated through your 90 deg press. You might also be too strong in your shoulder that you can't target correctly your chest when doing the other version on full range of motion and might only do the lower amplitude to try target more chest and less shoulder (in most movement with arms included, shoulders train and they could often be overtrained if your are not carefull on your form at the very begining) Try on an other exercice like push ups, and try bringing your hand closer to your chest and to this on chairs to be elevated (3 chairs one for each hand and one for the feet) so that you can go lower and have a good range of motion and see how you can better target your chest and then keep this arm distance

@@Malik_Mlk I'm with OP on this one. My elbows are probably around 80 degrees. I also don't let my upper arms go much below parallel (if at all) to save my shoulders. Every time I try to go deep I end up hurting my shoulders. After my first working set my pecs are already feeling it. Also, flaring your elbows hits your pecs harder. I'm lucky my trainer set me up well all those years ago

I feel like I always get glute activation with the squat when I go as low as I can. If you can't go low enough, maybe lower the weight so you can reach the right activation point

I'm a female going through Glute Training, but we DO focus on back, abs, and arms. We do a lot of weight lifting but I find that we aren't taught anything about proper form. I really like this video, it provided a lot of insight on what me and the other girls have been doing wrong this whole time and why I haven't been seeing much progress. Thank you for this!!

Hey Iris i just found this guy a few days go n been goin thru his vids and he's prob one of the better ones on here for fitness n dieting n stuff like that with the no bs'n around. Proper form is huge cuz once u get it down then u can target the muscles more effectively n drop the risk of hurtin yourself in the process. Good luck on the training n keep gettin them gainz 👍
