I hope you can find the time to answer this question :) You're talking about bench press, will dumbbell press on flat bench work too? Because that's what I do, because my right arm is my dominant arm I found myself pressing unevenly without knowing it, so I moved from bench to dumbbell press to independently train my muscles. Almost pressing my own body weight with dumbbell press :)

What I’ve been doing and worked for me is I change my exercise up every month. So for a month I’ll do mostly bench press and dumbbell press and then like 2 sets of flys after the pressing movements. Then the next month I’ll warm up my chest with 2 sets on the bench and then do all fly movements like dumbbell flys and cable flys and machine flys. Then after a month of that back to pressing. This REALLY helped me build and shape my pecs fast. Also gotta eat enough protein. Your nutrition needs to be on point and ultimately some people just build their chest slower. I may have a strong chest and bench more than most guys and a naturally big rib cage and torso but what I noticed is that my chest development is slower than the rest of my muscles for some odd reason and it’s always been like that my entire life so I put extra emphasis on my chest workouts and do chest at least 2 times a week. That’s just what works for me personally

The idea is simple. Train every segment of your chest during your workout. Ideally, you'd want to focus on dumbbells at first to develop some mind muscle connection. Start with regular dumbbell press. Then go on to incline dumbbell, then use a pec fly machine with a range if motion that isn't to wide. If you did 4 sets of 10 reps on each exercise, and gradually increase the weight by maybe 5 pounds per set, you're gonna make some gains if you stay consistent

@tubax926

Жыл бұрын

Yo that's literally what I do bro. Screw the barbell first of all, dumbbells are just so much more natural in terms of the movement range. I just do flat dumbbell press, then I use the incline press machine (I use it because it minimizes my use of shoulder for stability, allowing me to solely focus on my upper chest) and some cable flies to train a larger rom. Dips and loads of pushup variations are also very necessary, to train your lower chest and pushups are just dope in general.

I feel that the main thing is to know how the muscle fibers are going and to be able to stimulate them and see more gains and even more with the correct exercises, right Jeff

@tubax926

Жыл бұрын

Yup. The best thing I've learned is to look at the mirror to see my form, and to start out a new movement with very light weights to play around and see where I get the most desired muscle activation. Visualizing the muscle fibers help, but sometimes it can be misleading. Just stick to feeling whether or not your desired muscles are doing the work, and if not then correct your form.

My chest blew up after the reverse diet to my maintenance. The cut lasted 4 weeks and the reverse diet took about 2 weeks. Diet plays a big role on muscle gain as we can't always stay shredded and grow muscles.

I’d say if your max is 60, go for 45-50 for reps. And slowly add a rep to each set and once you get to 12 reps for 3 sets with the same amount of rest each time, then add 5kg and repeat the process till you get 12,12,12. At the end of October 2021 i could bench 60 for 12.10.10 and 80 for 2 reps, now I can hit 75 for 9,9,8 and at least 4 reps with 80kg. (At 75kg body weight)

Might be obvious to all but total newbies, but just in case anyone reading this might be unsure: be sure to count the weight of the bar as part of the total you can lift. And Zack alluded to this, but I assume Jeff must have been referring to a single-rep max?

I'm old, and I'm short, so yeah - chest has always been a problem area for me. My favourite had been an old suggestion from Jeff - do bench until failure and then hop off and crank out a few pushups until you collapse in the floor. I did that yesterday, and now I'm feeling it in my boobs! Love it!

@@theadjuster151 Ha! I totally understand you! I was an athlete in my youth, but at 49 and approaching the Big Half Century, I decided to hit the gym again. Lost a couple of inches around my waist, but put on twenty pounds muscle - mostly arms, shoulders and legs. Even have a sort of six pack again. That was six years ago. But that damn chest! Still working on that. Still, it's amazing if you had muscle and were fit, how quickly it seems to come back. Just keep at it. I did find fewer reps, but taking each rep really slow helps reduce strain on your joints. And sadly, I find I need two rest days, not just one anymore. Best of luck to you man! I know you can do it!

probably the best explanation I have ever seen you really are the best.

Love me some great chest exercises! Jeff knows what he is taking about!!

Jeff: "How is your strength at the excersise, are you at least at 1.25 of your body weight?" Me lifting the same 50 kg for the last year while being 75kg body weight: 😅

I've ve been doing bench since the beginning of my training journey and it led to an overdeveloped chest, definitely S Tier exercise 🎉 Do what you feel and works the best for you!

haha yes there is so much info in here

the best coach ever ❤️

Im seeing my recommened by you Jeff. There so many vids and I dont know which ones to watch😂

Good information. Right now I'm limited to push ups, and varied pushups.

The best trainer out there.

Best gym content ever

Good info.

I do pause reps on bench a lot. Lighter weight and pause halfway through every eccentric and concentric. Halfway down, pause, up, halfway down, pause, down, pause, halfway up, pause, down, pause, halfway up, pause, up. One complete eccentric and concentric is two reps with a ton of time under tension. Great burnout after heavy bench.

I only half way follow this dudes advice and it has changed me insanely

Jeff rules, appreciate you and your content. 🙌🏼

Been a viewer and subscriber since my senior year of high school man! Always loved your videos and content! Was wondering if I could get some on one advice and pointers sometime? Even if it's just a message

Great video thx

This is the best channel out there .thanks for your knowledge that your teaching even us beginners who really want to know and how to do things properly .

My personal favorites as a small framed short ass guy is the inclined bench, dumbbell press and pec fly but you have to know how to work to failure to grow and you have to train all of your supporting muscles to supportive the extra weight when your chest can handled it

Hi Jeff! Thanks for the amazing content! It would be great if you could bring on David Goggins for a workout session!
