I’d like to see you do a video showing the correct movement path to hit the three heads of the deltoids, ideally using dumbbells and a cable set up.

Best trainer on the internet. Brilliant and simple explaination. Even a caveman can do it now. Ben is the best. Outstanding work. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. Found this very useful. And, since you asked, I'd like to see you go through this process next with the rear head of the deltoid. The front and side heads, and their fibers, I can see. But I've never found the fiber path for the rear. Please tell/show us all you can about it. And please include the colored rubber bands on the skeleton.

Consider adding an outro. I think this gives people a chance to like the video with some KZbin players than immediately leave the video. An outro lets the user know the video is over and their chance to easily like it is almost over. Great content. Very logical. I think you’ll eventually get a much larger audience.

Great video. I have trouble picturing things so the demonstration with the colored threads and skeleton was so helpful. Now if you could do the forearms…

My upper pec muscle doesn't tighten until I'm well past the center of my body. So I feel like I wasted years on incline DB bench presses without results. And I mean WELL past the center of my body. That's why I watched this video.

@odin5794 5 күн бұрын

Absolutely love the content, gonna incorporate low incline smith, assisted dips, and then a chest fly to blow up my chest. If you would consider making a similar video with focus being the glutes (specifically glute max) that would be amazing. Keep up the good work I look forward to your future content 🙏🏾

Really appreciate your channel. I think it's criminally underrated and will hopefully get the attention it deserves soon. A topic suggestion: Is it ideal to focus on isolation exercises for lat delts more than rear delts, and then front delts even less considering the activation of rear and especially front delts in pull and push exercises? If you hit all parts of the delts equally isolation-wise are you bound to overdevelop your front delts considering other compound press exercises?

@kamranhussain3159 5 күн бұрын

Hey Ben, this is super interesting. I think another interesting muscle group for this would be lats as ive seen you mention the different fiber angles based on the attachment site (upper or lower lat). So knowing how to his the lats in totality would be cool

@coachthierry1 5 күн бұрын

Not exactly what you asked but maybe next time you can cover the most anterior portion of the delt and compare those landmarks to the upper pec ones to show the difference? Been trying to grow that very anterior portion and the nuance would probably help people fully understand the upper pec info.

Brilliant way of looking at it . I have long thought that this was the exact reason the reverse grip bench press does not work as well for the upper chest for everyone because there is only so much you can do with grip width..

@shubham5243 4 күн бұрын

The most appropriate one would be a LOW to HIGH cable flies.

@asprinklingofclouds 4 күн бұрын

These feel good but I have never seen any upper chest growth from them, it is basically a contraction exercise with very little stretch. The reverse grip bench press has worked better for me and it has a more effective strength curve with more resistance in the stretched position.

@shubham5243 4 күн бұрын

@@asprinklingofclouds yeah I agree with you on this one there's not much growth potential in that.

Assuming the upper arm path is the same why would anyone press instead of fly in these cases? It seems because the moment arm is much larger in the fly you can get similar results will less weight. It seems if you effectively double the lever length you get the same apparent weight with half the physical weight. So, in the case of upper pecs if you fly on a 30 or 45 degree incline but at the bottom have your arms at roughly 45 degrees from you body your elbows end up rougly in line with your lower ribs and hands somewher near your hips. Fly upward and inward so your arms end up over your forehead. If you press with a close to 45 degree angle from your body. Your upper arms end up in roughly the same spot but your forarms end up tapping the dumbells in to your shoulders and you still press upward and inward to be above your forehead. Is there actually any functional difference from the upper pec perspectives to these two exercises?

@bobnewkirk7003 5 күн бұрын

Because the numbers are bigger. A lot of folks have a hard time swallowing that they have to fall back to the smaller DBs on a fly and then cant program it as a linear progression.

@Snerdles 5 күн бұрын

@bobnewkirk7003 Well, I still press because it feels nice to throw around big dumbbells. I'm more wondering if there really is any functional difference. It seems the upper arm is actually rotated slightly differently so possibly it could change the stretch slightly but I don't know the anatomy that well.

@bobnewkirk7003 5 күн бұрын

@@Snerdles I cant answer the functional difference definitively, but what I understand is as follows: a press allows more musculature to jump in (queuing "press together" for more tricep). you also allow for more rotation of the wrist meaning most folks tend to press in a pronated position but fly in a supinated position. I would assume this means that your chest is slightly more stretched in a fly (because of slight external rotation), and because your ROM isn't limited to your chest you can get way deeper, assuming you have the shoulder mobility.

@Assgod_69 5 күн бұрын

A fly is in essence the same as a press but without the triceps. The exercises do the same thing to the pecs. A nice thing to do is to start with presses and then move on to flies if the tricep pump is starting to interfere with your chest stimulus.
