Freshman in college majoring in Exercise Science here, just found your channel. Love your breakdown of the biomechanics. It likes up really well with my applied anatomy class and actually shows the actual application of said anatomy. Will be tuning in for whatever you put out 👊
After powerlifting for 8 years and shaving my shoulder ice. I will speak the words I have never spoken before. This youtube video on weight training is legit. And will be trying to fix my shoulder issues with the band techniques you shown. Thanks so much. Power Lifting approved
OMG that small tweak in my bench press lights my chest up with less weight than I can normally lift. Love your videos and have helped me push further in my training, even if at times it makes me look stupid lol. Keep them coming.
I saw a clip of Mike Mentzer preaching flared elbows on incline press. Tried it, and my pecs blew up. There's definitely something to this idea. Funny how Mike figured this out 30 years ago.
Many old school guys hit the benches with wide or slightly wide grips. It was kind of the standard. We as a society moved away from that , when it was the way to go all along.
@@KTBD242No, it's more of a biomechanical issue. For some people flared elbows cause shoulder pain. For me, I can't feel my chest activate when my elbows are tucked.
Bro…excellent! At 57, I shifted to body weight full range of motion for my health, but I tried this out using rings on a feet elevated ring push-up and it lit me up. Same principle, 45 degrees to start, then raised elbows to activate the chest. Thanks for taking the time to dive deep into this.
As someone who doesn't know most of these scientific principles and words, it would really help if you had a section where you explicitly explained what people NORMALLY do, vs what you now do. Kind of hard to follow your thoughts sometimes! Love the content thanks for making it!
It’s kinda one of those things where here’s the biology behind you, feel free to take my word for it or research your on own. You can pause and rewind on TH-cam. Ryan doesn’t do 30 minute videos. There’s other content creators who do.
sharing your mistakes as well as your progress into correcting them and bettering your training is such a great formula for youtube and the viewers. Appreciate it, I actually noticed that I do this when I bench. I try to keep that 45 degree angle but as I go down I can't, I have to let my elbows come up. But I've never gotten any pain or injuries from doing it and I bench 440 now so I just kept doing it because it worked for me. I never told anyone else to do it because it seemed wrong.
You are the best thing to happen to the fitness youtube community since its inception. Thank You again. Also your rear delt video has relived pain in my shoulder and I can see results already. For a 13 year gym vet like me this nothing short of amazing.
Brother! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this! I am a retired 14 year, major league, baseball player, and I never implemented this kind of accent or form. I did it for the first time yesterday and I have always been the second day soreness guy and like 12 hours later I was sore and it makes lotta sense. I just want you to know also like I’m also a four times shoulder surgery guy so the action of going down and then retreating back which saves the shoulder was probably the most applicable part. Just want you to know I think you’re awesome and what you’re doing is great. You look great. And thank you for all your videos.
Ryan Humiston's videos are totally awesome, educating, and entertaining! Thank you so much for this chest workout, technique! Ryan Humiston representing the art of physique and fitness!
This is superb. I found this technique from Vince Gironda back in the 90s but is was called an S press. Have a dive into that. Back then my upper chest was mint. Over the years I learned other ways (such as elbows flared) and my upper chest fell behind my mid and lower. Watching this has just reconnected me so thank you. Your channel is excellent
The thing with not arching is that when the set gets difficult, you're going to inevitably arch. Also, arching pre-stretches the pec and adds stability to the movement by creating tightness and locking you in place so you can generate more force- it also keeps the pec above the front delt ensuring it's the primary mover. I've been doing my incline pressing on a higher incline (usually 60 degrees or so) so I can get a good arch but still target the upper chest effectively. Been a serious game changer for me.
Listen man, your videos are GOLDEN. I have absolutely been enthralled with learning everything from your shoulders to biceps. Amazing knowledge with hilarious / entertaining delivery.
I incorporated this into my work out today...what a connection! It's now a permanent part in my routine. Thanks for doing what you do and the excellent advice!
My first time watching your video and it's great. I'm sold. Your mixture of humor and knowledge together keeps me glued to the screen. ...keep up the good work....and yes, keep the assistant.
Every video you do is informative and I’m grateful for them, that being said, this one I felt was very personal as I have just natraully big arms and I feel like my triceps and shoulders always take over and I never get the most tension towards my chest and I end up gassing out my arms before getting the feeling of tension or overload towards my chest like I want.. so very helpful. Definitely will try this on my next chest workout. I appreciate it.
I'm sitting on my chair, listening to you, and thought let's try it while sitting. and I started following the path you speaking of and voila I immediately felt my chest fire up more than I ever have done any pressing moving (except for push-ups)! this is wild. I'm training chest later today, I'll definitely try it!
I figured out this issue watching some Dr. Mike vids a few weeks ago. I went into the gym, tried every chest press machine (incline too) they had and found 2 that basically have the same movement path you have in the vids. Man, it genuinely felt like I never worked out my chest before 😂 getting DOMS like crazy now, very clearly growing etc. I can’t believe it.
You create top notch content. Thanks for being incredibly scientific and entertaining at the same time. Hoping you will have 10 million + followers someday.
I tried this with just 40s slow and controlled to protect my shoulders. Felt a good stretch and decent pump throughout. Next day DOMS were pretty good. Overall ill keep doing it good sir, thanks for the contribution to our health.
Subbed. Fantastic videos, my dude. Informative, visually showcases the exercises, and shows the science of the workout plan - all while being very entertaining. Solid work, my man. 💪🏼
Or cable flys lowering the pulley after each 20 rep set. Massive stretch and works the whole chest. Use the off hand to connect to the muscle and feel what is working. Looks like the skeleton is done. You will have to use Kate more often.
This made me realise…. How I have been training my chest wrong for like a year…. Was bringing in my elbows too close so could barely feel my chest. Move elbow out slightly… and boom my chest is alive again. Aaand I feel stupid. Was weird how I found 17.5 hard yet smashed out 20 reps of 25 when I was doing a train to failure. Now I know why, my chest been sleeping.
Not everythin works for everyone...But THIS adjustment definitely worked for me...For the 1st time in years I've been able to dumbbell press "pain-" and discomfort-free...GREAT STUFF...💪🏾🙌🏾
Bro! This is crazy. This is literally what I have been working on in the last few weeks. I finally can push through/from my chest and it is the muscle that fatigues first now when doing bench. Now that I do this technique, it feels like "oh yeah.. of course that's the right way to do it". The way I was doing it previously was so, so wrong. The pecs were not the prime movers at all. Gosh darn it feels good to press now.
Great video. I tried for years the 45° ankle, arching, locking shoulders in place etc. Watched Dr Mike, and a few other videos saying 90° was ok if it feels ok started doing that again and feel it way more again.
Man you have the best fitness channel on TH-cam by a yard and a mile. Informative, witty and with great production values. I’ve never met you but I want to thank you for putting all this information out there.
Injured my shoulder doing a dumbbell shoulder press. Made doing any chest workout absolute hell and put me out of the gym for a while. Watched this video expecting to learn how to properly strain my chest but instead found some really good stretches and exercises that aided my shoulder pain/popping.
Hey Ryan, physiotherapist here. Been loving these kinda videos recently and the inclusion of band mobilised based movements. For people struggling with the impingement aspect (I know you are focusing on the upper pec fibres), but decline presses can help give the 'correct' smooth feeling that a modified press should have and increase the eccentric depth of the movement, then as they get used to the bar path and feeling, can start to flatten out the bench and 'keep' that smooth feeling in a more 'normal' position.
I'd be interested in why you say 'superior' - could you elaborate more? Pull downs (clue in the name) is not a press movement, so I'm intrigued. Decline bench is a closer movement and easier progression to get back to flat bench.
the one caveat being that you want your shoulders kind of "shrugged down" on chest pressing movements and that is VERY HARD (at least for me) to maintain on a decline bench that automatically pushes your shoulders towards your ears... but decline benchpress is definitely where i've put the most meat on my pecs
Thanks bro! People who are naturally good at things usually are not good teachers because: "they just do it." They have no references to trouble shoot why you are not making progress. It's those who couldn't do something and had to learn and experiment that are the best teachers.
I just did this on the incline bench and it felt really good. I was basically lowering the bar like normal but when I was close to full stretch then I'd do the elbow wink thing and it helped to stretch the upper pecs more, then on the way up I could feel it was mostly upper chest doing the lift, which is something I always struggle with. Great technique !
Listening to him start motivating me to feel more willing to succeed. Being a 50 yr old dude with no fitness level what so ever . Now gets after it.... Thanks man
Holy shit bro you’re a legend. Never in my life have I really had a mind-muscle connection with my chest. This absolutely changed this, shout out to you, now let’s see how fast my upper pecs grow :)
Great video Ryan. It’s hard for people to admit they’ve been doing things wrong for years even decades. But once you get into real experience based science the evidence, should be undeniable.
Just tried this technique for a few sets of Incline press. HOLY SHIT my upper pecs worked for like the first time ever. Thanks for helping me get after it.
As per instructions, I believe Hammer strength presses and underarm grip presses are the best form of chest presses, because in these moments we get to maximise the stretch during pressing…. THEY WORK JUST AS YOU DESCRIBED
@@kawartheboss1172 I do it as superset exercise with regular dumbbell/ barbell presses using light/ medium weights. It gives me crazy stretch and feel the muscle better
Ryan…. Iv been training for 12 years. After watching this video I trained chest using this technique and I can honestly say, I don’t think iv ever been so sore in my life 😂🎉🎉 your the GOAT 🐐
I can attest to this. I injured my shoulder and it's hard for me to do the 45 angle. My only option is to flare my elbow a bit, and I noticed my shoulder won't hurt on this angle. I kept using it, which showed a significant result on my chest. I thought this would reduce my gain because most people on the internet said so regarding the 45 angle, but I care more about my comfort so why the 70 angle. Watching this video concludes that I was right flaring my elbow when doing chest presses. Cheers man!
Could there be any english words used for the anatomy (also not an english word) Like chest bones or ribs instead of sternum, or wtf is a hummus/humerus? I dont want or need to be an MD to know what ur talking about!!!
Hey Ryan, how about Garage Workout 2.0? I love the first one! And if you really want to stretch the bounds of hypertrophy training with minimal equipment, how about doing a 30 Hotel Gym workout for those of us that are stuck traveling a lot for work? Nothing but a bench and a half ass rack of dumbells that maybe goes up to 40lbs.
Kate has a lot going for her, right now the thing I applaud her the most for is having her self under full shaolin-like control at 3:32. You can see he hit her unprepared right there. It must be a pain to work with Ryan.... trying to survive every line first shot.
great video, can't wait to try it. Been surfing the internet for a long time for a chest solution. Like you Ryan I struggle with having a shitty chest and naturally good triceps. I used to powerlift for football in high school, which led to led to a severe imbalance in relation to my pecs, shoulders and triceps. . Been working this last year to properly balance out my body again. Great stuff!
3:40 - Kate was definitely helping me to create length.

I kept using it, which showed a significant result on my chest. I thought this would reduce my gain because most people on the internet said so regarding the 45 angle, but I care more about my comfort so why the 70 angle.
Watching this video concludes that I was right flaring my elbow when doing chest presses. Cheers man!
Could there be any english words used for the anatomy (also not an english word)
Like chest bones or ribs instead of sternum, or wtf is a hummus/humerus?
I dont want or need to be an MD to know what ur talking about!!!
5:06 Two amazingly placed sweat stains from two amazing mammalian protruberances.
yeeeeeah!!!
Best content ever. Thank you sir
Requesting more #teamkate appearances for explanations.
We would love if you added all the videos together where you used the EMG device for every body part and made it into one video!
The amount of upper back pain and imbalance this man just corrected for mankind should earn him a Nobel Prize.
Thanks for this video. Made me experiment with my chest routine to get more tension. Found i felt like it worked best with a seated cable press.
You look like a badass dad who works out in his garage and works a 9-5 manual labour job.
Hey Ryan, how about Garage Workout 2.0? I love the first one! And if you really want to stretch the bounds of hypertrophy training with minimal equipment, how about doing a 30 Hotel Gym workout for those of us that are stuck traveling a lot for work? Nothing but a bench and a half ass rack of dumbells that maybe goes up to 40lbs.
This one must be on the verge of a lot of the Woke TH-cam limitations. Just loved it!! :)
.
Oh Kate helped me REALLY get the point!
"...It has a little curve to it..." That's my take-away for today's sermon 😀
You have to be the funniest TH-camr I watch. Well done bro love the content.
Kate has a lot going for her, right now the thing I applaud her the most for is having her self under full shaolin-like control at 3:32. You can see he hit her unprepared right there.
It must be a pain to work with Ryan.... trying to survive every line first shot.
Wow! Never would have thought that would work so well!!
Is it just me or are Ryan's arms looking JOOOOCY
Roids does a body good 💪🏽
They're bigger then his head
Must be you, we re all lookin at the blonde😂
Were you looking at his arms? What's wrong with you? This video was about Kate's chest...
Can’t wait for the back video!! I’m so confused to why no one else talks about this sort of shit if it’s that effective.
How many of those skeletons have you bought at this point? How many do you have in your closet? 🧐
Aka I’m on a cycle and don’t want to say anything 🤦♂️ it’s all good! We like you cuz your authentic and raw. It’s on if you on PED’s
Wasn’t ready for that. Thanks for making my night of fighting my natural urge even harder lol 3:30
It happened again… 5:12
Dude… 8:58
😑 12:05
lmao
great video, can't wait to try it. Been surfing the internet for a long time for a chest solution. Like you Ryan I struggle with having a shitty chest and naturally good triceps. I used to powerlift for football in high school, which led to led to a severe imbalance in relation to my pecs, shoulders and triceps. . Been working this last year to properly balance out my body again. Great stuff!
