I wish there had been a guy like this when I started. We were reading magazines that were 60% bullshit and 30% adds.

Nothing hits my front delts like this exercise

That's cuz your ass with it. Weight is too high on your chest. Probably under your shoulders in fact if you don't feel it in your chest primarily. It will hit delts but it shouldn't be your best shoulder exercise

Keep it up bro keep telling ppl the basic so your viewe the newbie and the pro doesn't forget the basic

One of my favorite exercises. I'm up to doing sets with a pair of 130s. Will continue to add weight as I am able.

I've learned so much from you. Thank you!

Those 50s are so light for jonni 😂😂

Bless you for this

Tbf Jonni, what you said applies to all areas of life and guess what I'm hiding something. I'm hiding it because it's a problem, a problem I had and overcome. I'm hiding it because I don't want to be judged or let people down but if it continues it will be found out. Living like that is awful but this vid even though completely unrelated has helped massively. Thank you 😊

Thank you

Dude, you have no idea how helpful “kick the dumbbells up one at a time” was…

What if we have no abs to flex

can you show us some pullups on a pull-up bar, and the perfect form to do that?

Why should we flex the core before start rolling the shoulders back?? Thank you for the explanation

I swear I follow all these cues and I still have shoulder pain on my right side. I’ve lowered the weight from 50 to 30 and I don’t feel it in my chest if I go any lighter than that help me please 🙏

Stretch/warm up your rotator cuffs. You might not be depressing your shoulders as much as you think. I had this issue but really working on form is how you can help. You realistically should be able to do 30 lbs and feel it just as much with proper form!

1. What is your shoulder mobility like? Do some flexibility tests to check the tightness of the chest, lats, and curvature of the thoracic spine. 2. Change to resistance machines for a while, and see if a fixed path through the motion eases the discomfort. 3. Give your back double the attention that you give chest and shoulders, with a lot of emphasis placed on the scapula and rotator cuff. 4. What is your grip width like? When people use dumbbells it usually differs a lot compared to a bar. 5. Is your nutrition appropriate for the amount of training you do, and are you incorporating enough rest?

Thanks, Jonni. Is your lower back arched or flat on the bench?

I keep on feeling pain I my shoulder joints after doing this, any advice?

Should you arch your back when doing inclines? Cuz I do only inclines for chest for about 4 months now but my upper is still smaller than my lower

Aye, as simple as!!❤😂😮😊

stack tha joints. ||

When I bench I always feel it my deltoids and never in my chest! What am I doing wrong???

put your elbows more down ... try to push little lower

💪

What hole number is 30 degrees on the benches in La fitness? Or probably other gyms too

What about 15°? Doesnt it bias the upper chest more?

How far down do we drop our elbows below the back of the bench?

How many times?

Yo johnny which brand of Bench is that one. I am looking for a new one

that's not 45°

there's another way to get the dumbbells into the starting position: by holding them at your sides and then lying back and flaring your arms out

I was wondering something: What effect does it have (if any) to take small breaks in the middle of a set? For example: I cant do 10-12 reps in one go for a set, but I can do it if I take a small break after 5-6 reps of let's say 10 seconds.

I was doing it wrong!

If you flare the shoulders a bit less , u can get a better upper chest contraction ,it depends on ur anatomy don't think there's 1 right way of doing it , play around till u find what works best

On incline, do NOT go heavy, ESPECIALLY on a steep/normal incline (higher than this)... This is basically a trendy angle for "flat bench pressing" rather than a true incline angle that's 100% for upper chest. For a proper steep/high angle, You should be doing a little above half of the weight that you do for flat bench... Maybe 60%.... Not light, but moderate weight... Focus on the stretch at the bottom and pause, as the eccentric on a steep incline with elbows flared out is vital to feel. With a barbell, let it come down right below your clavicle... This will build your upper chest FAST. With DBs, you can alternate go between 90 degrees and 50-60 degrees every workout with Lots of deep stretch flys and "barrel presses" (similar to flys but you press back up from the bottom) Trust me when I say a high angle + moderate weight will lead to a very defined split between your upper and middle chest!. (Ex trainer... And I've recently seen some influencers speak on the same thing as they came to the same conclusion themselves )

Jealous of the shoes

Away from the ears as in retracting your shoulders and depressing them towards the ground .

You can do 45° as well. The higher the incline the more shoulder vs chest you will hit

Did these incline dumbbell presses for decades, always felt them , but never got my upper chest as sore as i wanted them to feel. Just recently started doing incline cable presses, and nothing ever made my chest so sore. Are incline cable presses just a better movement for upper chest ? Please don’t say its because its a new movement because its the exact same movement pattern.

@kennethexton4572

Жыл бұрын

Maybe because of the physics of it? Gravity always pulls straight down so at the very top of the movement (peak contraction) with dumbbells the stress gets distributed thru your bones more where the cables are trying to pull you hands more down and slightly outward at the top similar to a butterfly motion which gives a slightly better peak contraction? Just a guess on my part.

@gariejoyce5263

@@kennethexton4572 ok i can see where the hands being pulled down, and outwards rather than just straight down could possibly be the difference in what im feeling the next day. Guess its actually a different movement pattern after all.
