[@LiveAnabolic]

When it comes to building up your pecs at home...You don't need to bang out 1,000 push-ups but instead... add these 3 chest-building exercises to your routine... and you'll really build those pecs!

Going to try looks good

@Gary thank you for all of the Amazing Content! I love how successful you and @liveanabolic are! So inspirational! #gymnotivation

[@captaincaveman2040]

Looks like fun. Been trying to get a bigger chest using dumbells and this seems like it will help!!

[@BobFibonacci]

Hey what kind of bench is that or brand.

[@alanckaye]

Sadly at 73 I have man boobs. I understand losing some weight is optimal but as I build my chest will the moobs increase as well? Thanks Gary

[@robertbethia2959]

61 years old, working out for that last 40 years, without much muscle growth, but with your workouts I’m growing my chest, arms, shoulders and legs and killing it. Keep up the great work!!!

[@thomasandrews9792]

I’m 81 years old and started doing these exercises a few weeks ago as I was having problems with heavier weights with the arthritis in my wrists and hands. In any event besides a good workout it seems to have helped the” head forward “ condition I have with my back. I have never had such a straight back for years. I enjoy your information.

[@artistaprimus7080]

Congrats on starting your training. Im 66 myself but Ive been fit and weight training since HS. Stay away from heavy weights at first! Its a quick way to injure yourself and get discouraged. You have to strengthen your tendons first, so stay with light weight. Do multiple sets and gradually increase the weight. Good luck

I'm 78 and subscribed to your videos. They are TOTALY AWESOME. I'm seeing big improvement with these three exercises. You didn't mention the number of reps and the rest time between them. I do 3 sets, 10-15 reps and 60 second rest between sets. I suggest you make sure you include the number if sets, reps and rest time for all your videos. You're Awesome. THANK YOU!!!

[@robbysebala5389]

Gary: Thank you so much for taking care of us older guys & making sure we are not exacerbating weaknesses or past injuries. Your explanations by doing are clear & make sense. I am starting now.

I'm 50 and injured my right shoulder on a regular incline bench press last summer. It's still not right, but it's better. Thanks for the tip on lowering the angle to still get that upper chest workout. I've since gone to dumbbells only and it's working better for me. Love the channel!

[@Chopperdod77]

Hi dude, I did exactly the same thing with my right shoulder on bench press. It's been close to a year and still suffering. Hows yours getting on since it's been a year since your comment?

Hi Gary, Love these workouts! I'm 66yrs old and have never felt better.

Thanks again for the great job!

Really appreciate this video. I am 68 and pushing as hard as these joints allow. Definitely going to put these into my routine. I like your presentation and personality.

over the many years i have tried many workouts... going very slow strict reps is best imo...less chance of injury and you feel every fiber filling with blood... at 62 now and not in best health anymore i switched to bands which are amazing...i keep coming up with new workouts using them...

I've always considered myself advanced as far as weight training. I did this workout four days ago and my chest is still SCREAMING!!! Great advice.

[@anthonybuckner202]

I'm 58 and been lifting my whole life. I'm a disabled veteran and just started again as I have several prosthesis in my body. I did this workout as described; 3 sets and let me tell you, it feels amazing. You can really feel it in your pecs and will incorporate it in my chest routine. Thanks for this.

[@silviofontana5144]

As an older person, I prefer reps to 20 or failure, I find this activates my muscle to failure and does not overload my joint

[@freedom1028]

I am 68 and agree. Lighter weights, 12 to 20 reps is my preference. Easier on the old joints!

[@tomthomassony8607]

I’m 61 and do sets with a break of 15-20 seconds, between each set. Sets of 12 reps, followed by 10 and then 8. 30 in total. The short break between in each set helps build muscle as well as give you a rest!

[@chironjo]

@@freedom1028 How can more reps be easier on joints than less reps? Could that be because you are reducing your rang3 of motion with each rep or that you are using a lighter than optimum weight?

[@snailseyes]

@@chironjo He's saying lighter weight more reps is easier on his joints than heavier weight less reps

@@AnimalCareTrust I do the whole routine and what you say in the video

[@AnimalCareTrust]

@@Chrislon, so one set of each only? Not two or three sets? I did ten reps of the first, three reps of each of the second, and ten of the third. But I’m thinking I should do maybe three sets of each (so 3 x 10, 3 x 3 x 3, and 3 x 10).

[@andyjame8317]

Like: great dumbbell . I’ve had them before but sold when I moved. kzbin.infoUgkx8N-gevHZ6YWNoOYdRjL90vdbNyOKKHxL Replacing now.Dislike: the packaging is awful now. Not wrapped in plastic and tiny styrofoam pieces all over. Had to wash the bases in the sink to clean them off and then clean each set of weights after adjusting just to get all the styrofoam pieces removed. Bowflex, you can do better.I’m still giving an overall 5 because the product is good. Just know you may have to deal with horrid packaging for now, but maybe Bowflex will sort that in the future.

Great advice !! You got a new subscriber here !! I just turned 51 this past January , my job ( Courier) keeps me in relatively "ok" shape but I am definitely going to start implementing a home workout . I know I am not 25 anymore but that doesn't mean I can't still be in decent shape !!

[@doncardinal9100]

Appreciate you mentioning age. I'm 70 and getting back to weight training. Too many videos think that means you're almost dead (well) and use such low weight that the exercise seems more stretching (albeit important) than strength training. I also appreciate your unique spin on some standard movements. Some videos are so extreme that they pass up some core basics that I find useful. Keep it up!

[@MrWatson80]

Great exercises. I incorporated some of these into my chest day and got a nice chest pump. Kudos 💪🏽👍🏽

[@cristianobarbaro3296]

Take a glass of water with a freshly squeezed lemon and 2 table spoons of extra virgin olive oil mixed in. Do it every morning and feel a lot of your joint pain disappear. Also look into ostarine and cardarine to accelerate fat burn anddouble your body tissue repair rate. Final tip, eat healthy and work your way to only having one, max 2 meals a day. Take 3000 mg of vitamin C powder form, dissolved in water every day, will speed up collagen production, lower inflammation and also improve your skin. Your fitness will shoot up, and your inflammation will drop off a cliff.
