I've watched a lot of popular TH-camrs on weight training but Eric is up there. Breaks down the rep, speaks sense and communicated the message well. Deserves to grow followers !
I truly think this guy is starting a new age of weight training. Healthier, smarter, more long term and truly terrific pumps. I can't stop watching this content. Can't wait for my next workout 💪
This is the kind of resource I wish I'd had when I was a lot younger: Literally the entire reason I got into working out at ALL was because I was self conscious about my chest when I was a kid. TH-cam didn't exist back then, the internet was basically just catalogues & chat rooms that a 13yr old wouldn't care about anyway, & the only resource I had was a school gym teacher who did their best but only had that level of knowledge. Spent half my life doing as many pushups as I could every single night & going as heavy as I could for as many reps as I could on barbell benches any time I even saw one. Skip to me being 37 & I can bench more than most people I know & do pushups all day but that's not at all what I was ever going for & I am STILL self conscious about the way my chest looks. I'm going to use every scrap of information I picked up in this video. Thank you for this
Us old ones have to keep showing the young ones how to work out With intensity , I myself turn 61 next year my profile pic was took my my lady 4 weeks ago keep working away and stay strong 👍🏻👍🏻
Same here. I’m 38 now and back when I started lifting weights in weird gyms at the time I only moved a bunch of plates. Even when I got back into lifting I focused so much on bench pressing trying to improve my horrible chest. Now I’m focusing much more on Eric’s great techniques and really start to feel a difference for the first time in my life. All while using less weights and heavy compound movements.
I'm in bed with covid right now (again🙄), this video really lifted my spirit! btw: my chest actually blew up and started pusching through shirts when I stopped presses all together and only did flys. now it was out of necessity cause my elbows can't take pressing but my chest is at an all time high. A lot of guys don't believe me I don't press but it works just fine. I'll still get back to pressing if my elbows are finally healed out but knowing you dont need to press is really helpful, quite an eye opener.
👏 Fantastic video, Eric! Your detailed explanation of the chest workout, especially the emphasis on pre-exhausting with safer exercises like machine flies, is a game-changer. It's refreshing to see a focus on technique and muscle health rather than just lifting heavy. Your approach to incorporating range of motion and conscious muscle engagement is insightful and something I'm definitely going to incorporate into my routine. Thanks for sharing your expertise and helping us achieve a stronger, healthier chest! 💪
Congratulations Eric. It is official...The word of 2023 is Hypertrophy! In all seriousness though. I am 50 years old and ive been a zombie in the gym for the past couple of years. I started following you a couple months back and have since joined a new gym and now im back to looking forward to hitting it everyday!! Thank you!! Keep up the awesome videos into 2024 and beyond!!
Excellent video! I feel like you made this to guide me through my chest workout today! Your emphasis on stretching the muscle with ROM is a life changer. Thank you so much!!!
There's literally 100's of thousands of people taking ped's / testosterone / etc. Not many look like him, so no, its not the juice! IT'S TRAINING, NUTRITION, REST, GENETICS AND SUPPLEMENTATION ( NORMAL AND OR SUPER )!! Its called being consistent with your effort! Not missing meals, not missing training, not partying much ( if at all )! Go one freaking month of eating 5 high protein meals daily without missing one. Then figure that amount of effort into years.
I’ll be keeping this for April as at the moment I’m doing 20 reps per set and 100 reps per exercise I’m old school 61yrs old next year so still count my reps 😂, I use a lot of your cable work and pec dec work at the full stretch and cables using the benches Keep up the excellent work But my shape has changed dramatically since I started in November to my winter training, But I think I’ve mentioned before I’m 61 in February 2024 stand 199cms (gutted as I always wanted to be 2metres😢 And weigh in at 256lbs So at the moment your building a big old grizzly bear in the Uk👍🏻👍🏻
I’m 62 and been training since 1979. Did some AAU competitions in the early 90’s. I want to do a few 50+ and 60+ NPC competitions and looking for a coach who’s intelligent, knowledgeable, and can help me collect a few more trophies, and show others that muscles don’t know how old they are. Your advice and videos are sensible. We used to do drop sets and assisted negatives to fry muscle groups - and that simple stuff still works. And I’ve always done my reps slowly and deliberately in both directions, whereas so many (especially younger) guys hammer out reps and use momentum, bouncing, etc. If you wanna coach a 60+ let me know!
Yip. It's not so much about the weight but time under tension. Unless you are strength training, more heavier weight. You won't grow as much but you will get stronger, vs body building there is a difference in technique. You can change it up to heavier weight days and incorporate these techniques Eric is showing on other days to balance it out.
Is that deep stretch really necessary to simulate the chest for growth? Are flys better than presses, like barbell bench press and dumbbell bench press to get a bigger chest? Can someone answer me? It be great if Eric responds
I didn't realise you've torn your left pec. Not sure if it was a small tear or what but it's barely noticeable at all. Amazing recovery - mine (both pecs!) look awful haha.
The problem with those flyes is dropping the weights at the end when in failure, you're gunna rip out your shoulders - not safe to have them so far back.
Missed out on that last negative mate. You forgot to treat it as if you were doing another rep!... even though you said to do that straight afterwards!
Understand your rationale about going light before your compound presses; but aren’t we stronger at the beginning? Therefore to try to go heavy would make sense
Subscribed! Really needed this as I am working on my chest, also using a sweat band so I feel like I am half way there 😂 anyone else eyes collect all your head drip?
Hi I am from Germany .. How much you guys pay for your sterioids and groth hormones ? Maybe make some video about your growth hormone use maybe would help someone who want to take it but don’t know much what ist real or fake .. Of course informativ video but let’s be honest , in the End of the day you all taking exorbitant amount of needles

Keep it up and start adding some of these principles!
Always the best information! Gold nuggets all over. Thanks
I’m trying to give as much value as possible!
That camera man had to hold in his instincts at the beginning
Lol, I must be getting old. I had to go to the beginning again and then boom , at about the 25 second mark lol! 😂

Get well soon man! And very happy to hear that you’ve been utilizing more fly work 🙏🙌🫡
Eric, you're ALWAYS a great inspiration to me!!
I appreciate that! 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Keep pumping these videos out big motivation 💪🏽

You're so welcome!
Thanks for making these, still learning so much from your intentions and methods.

@ericjanickifitness He responds! Initiate "fan-boy" mode hahaha
Just loved your videos, ❤ from India.
Thank you for so much knowledge Eric, greetings from Argentina.¡¡¡😜
Love your workout today thanks BIG E
Amazing video watching this before my chest day later today thank you bro keep posting great videos 💪🏻
In so many videos I see people training without shirts 🤔
Isn’t there any dressing codes at gyms in the US?
Top work mate! Keep them coming, super helpful
Love the vids Eric. Ryan and you my faves. Merry Christmas hammer ! JHL
Just found this channel not to long ago and really impressed with the content about to adopt the time under tension method thank you for sharing
Absolutely fabulous 🤩 love it! My chest will be sore tomorrow morning. Eric ❤ respect Man respect 💪
Nice, Eric!!

Go one freaking month of eating 5 high protein meals daily without missing one. Then figure that amount of effort into years.
I’ll be keeping this for April as at the moment I’m doing 20 reps per set and 100 reps per exercise
I’m old school 61yrs old next year so still count my reps 😂,
I use a lot of your cable work and pec dec work at the full stretch and cables using the benches
Keep up the excellent work
But my shape has changed dramatically since I started in November to my winter training,
But I think I’ve mentioned before
I’m 61 in February 2024 stand 199cms (gutted as I always wanted to be 2metres😢
And weigh in at 256lbs
So at the moment your building a big old grizzly bear in the Uk👍🏻👍🏻
Keep it up man!!!
Long length partials are a game changers feel real failure for massive gains always do that on machine fly.
I’m 62 and been training since 1979. Did some AAU competitions in the early 90’s. I want to do a few 50+ and 60+ NPC competitions and looking for a coach who’s intelligent, knowledgeable, and can help me collect a few more trophies, and show others that muscles don’t know how old they are.

Daddy?
Hey why do you do these rep ranges when I thought only the last 5 reps count toward hypertrophy? No hate just asking
Eric u r best ❤️
I love the training videos..tried some n just feel the burn ..
you have change the way i train. my chest is pumped
Solid sir 🔥🔥

Do I need to change my workout up to grow ?
Please do more posing and showing off on your channel!
Excellent techniques ❤
I saw u on renaissance periodization. Great physique! Congrats.
erick is best ❤
What would be the alternative of starting off with the fly machine? My gym doesn't have one 😢
i tried the ches bicep
leg press technique
back tricep workout
on the last rep, control the eccentric as if youre gonna do another =)
ok Mike
Respect Olympiea SUA Eric

Very nice
These were many exercises for 1 workout. 3 sets each ?
Eric how many sets for all these ex’s do you recommend for this ? Thank you Brother ! 💪🏻💪🏻
I’d say it would depend on your level. I’d shoot for 7-8 working sets as a beginner, 9-11as an international, 12-14 as an advanced liter
The problem with those flyes is dropping the weights at the end when in failure, you're gunna rip out your shoulders - not safe to have them so far back.
You don’t need to go to failure
Missed out on that last negative mate.
You forgot to treat it as if you were doing another rep!... even though you said to do that straight afterwards!
Understand your rationale about going light before your compound presses; but aren’t we stronger at the beginning? Therefore to try to go heavy would make sense
If strength is your goal then yes. He doesn’t care about strength. He wants the most stimulus with the least injury risk
I bounce my knees my knees like that when I'm in pain too:)
Feeling in my shoulders more than anything. And if I go lighter it's just too many reps
Vamos treinaŕ 😊
ERRRIIICCC!!!!

I prefer Eric over Charles Glass. 🔥
Nice

It would but definitely less overall volume.
🥴🍺
Hi Eric, Can I be like you without taking a steroid?
Hi I am from Germany ..
How much you guys pay for your sterioids and groth hormones ?
Maybe make some video about your growth hormone use maybe would help someone who want to take it but don’t know much what ist real or fake ..
Of course informativ video but let’s be honest , in the End of the day you all taking exorbitant amount of needles
Pretty sure the steroids helped
Probably ,but who cares? you will get a workout doing it wither way.
