My chest hurts finally... Thanks for the pain
good!
Yeah buddy.. Hah ha ha
Ain't everybody wanna be a bodybuilder but nobody want to lift that heavy ass weight
Thank you. Maybe you can create the same by adding a DB for warmups
World shall know pain
I remember when I first figured this out. I was about 19 and had been weight training for about 5 years already but had never felt my chest because I was mostly just pressing weight straight up and down. Then I read in Flex magazine about how the true function of the pecs are to bring the arms together. So the next workout I concentrated on going wide at the bottom of dumbbell presses and then trying to squeeze my biceps together at the top. After maybe 3 reps my chest cramped up incredibly painfully because they had never experienced that before. From there my chest progress just took off.
WILD THINGS I wish I could read it so I can see how to do it
WOW THANK YOU!
Thats the best way to do it. Think about squeezing both biceps together at the top most definitely activates the chest muscles to work best. I'm going to do it tonight lol
@stephen stewart thats even a better way of connecting mind and muscle while benching. I just tried it without any weight and instantly you can feel a better pump, thanks!
@Nexxo Exxon same here, I am also facing this issue and I keep stressed out everyday.....
I feel I wasted nearly a whole year of training until I figured this out for the first time. Such a great feeling.
I love how John and friends fricken finally simplify and explain muscle building to where I can ACTUALLY understand what the whole point of any exercise ACTUALLY is. Awesome.
I can't express my gratitude for this video. My chest gains have plateaued because I couldn't get that MMC, no matter how hard i tried. Now I can finally feel my chest swell with blood. Thanks a lot mate!
See, everytime I watch workout videos, nobody ever explains the science behind it or HOW to truly get an efficient workout. THIS is the most important in weight lifting and sets people up to succeed. In my honest opinion, if we break down HOW to workout properly and WHY these motions are important, everything else will follow naturally and people will see much greater results without injuring themselves. EXCELLENT work guys.
You didn't watch Jeff nippard ?
@@kakskak6220 Aww snap! I was going to recommend Jeff before I read your comment. His technique Tuesday series is great. I found this channel through him. :)
I wish i knew about this when I first started, this is something i had to figure out on my own over few years. Mind muscle connection is key and damn it feels good when you do it right.
This are propably the best chest tips I have ever heard. I could always squeeze and make them burn, but not feel it very well doing any pressing or even cables. I always felt like my front delt and bicep wants to take over, even with tucked back shoulders. Will definitely try thank you very much 💪
hey mate just saw your massage now im having the exact same problem right now did those workout worked ?
Oh wow this was over 2 years ago. Yes these tips here worked well. It turned out that my front delts where just proportionally overdeveloped and overcompensating in most chest exercises. What helped me the most though, was to use light weights and do every chest exercise with proper technique and in slow motion (!) for a couple months to really feel ghe chest burn and activate that mind-muscle connection. This was by far my biggest chest problem and chances are that its the same for you. Once that connection was established I went back into my strength-focused training and became continually stronger than ever since I could now properly incorporate my chest. Hope this helps 👍
@@servantofthemosthigh9250 thank you for your time and tips man i appreciate it
@@servantofthemosthigh9250 thanks for this comment
@@servantofthemosthigh9250 I have that same problema and injured myself the rotator cuff and bicp tendon I will try your commnet to star with light weight for a couple of month.
Hope have a big chest
Thank you, I've been having problem using my chest for bench press, now that problem is solved thank you.
awesome!!
I love pre exhaustion stuffs. Just never do it to failure. After that that very muscle will cooperate in all the compound liftings to follow. I’ve done one arm pec deck before chest, straight arm pull down before lats, extensions before legs and side laterals before delts. All extra lightweight and mid-part partials. I love it. Helps a lot with that mind muscle connection. Additionally I also do a little isometrics or posing right after the workouts to keep the blood boiled. Hope this helps too. Wish all the best to everyone.
Absolutely revolutionary! Eugene is shamingly articulate (as always) with no splicing, cutaways or editing of any kind
Great video Mountain Dog, its cool how you always have other pro’s sharing advised. You dont act like this is my channel I know it all, humble guy👍👍
Man, Eugene's good. Never thought about chest activation this way. Love the drills, they work wonders!
Rip John you will never be forgotten 💪
Hi Eugene and John. Thank you for the video. I did the chest activation exercises and it made a big difference. It really helped with my incline bench press. You are right it does help relieve some tightness in my shoulder. Also those chest stretch exercises you recommend doing at the end of my chest workout helped my chest feel open and removed all that uncomfortable tension I get from training chest. Really good open chest feeling.
awesome!!!
Definitely gonna incorporate this video and the one on chest stretch (w/ kettlebell offset on bench) into my chest routine. RIP to the legend John Meadows. These videos are top notch and hold up years later. Thanks to whoever is maintaining these videos and keeping them on TH-cam for all to learn from.
This was super helpful! For a long while my delts always took over when i tried to do chest exrecises
I did know Mark Hamil was so jacked under that robe lol.
yesss!!!!
@@mountaindog1 Luck, may the Force be with you!
Oh my gosh how have I not seen this video before!? Two legends of the game 👏👏👏 RIP John Meadows 🙏🙏🙏
Edit: Chest day yesterday- WOW. I always had decent wide chest engagement, had been working more on interior and lower pec. These helped tremendously! Feeling amazing today.
*And* As Eugene suggested, my right shoulder had on occasion been getting a little janky if I was lifting max, and ending on incline presses. I will probably adjust, but did a decline/flat/incline sequence yesterday, and at the end, I had way less/no shoulder impingement. These activations are next level!
this video is actually truly helpful whether you have issues with feeling your chest or not. i do isometric squeezes as part of chest but this actually puts into words what is happening. this is not a super sexy topic so i bet it might get bypassed but it was truly helpful
Excellent video. Now, I know why your shoulders are supposed to be pinched back during bench press. And also now I can feel my chest. Thank you so much.
Thanks guys! Great stuff.
Im doing chest this am, and with Ulcerative Colitis and serious infusion meds that cause joint pain, my shoulders have been bothering me badly last few months so this info is very helpful. Ill give it a solid shot today prior to blasting the pecs.
Thanks for your time and advice guys. Much appreciated.
Absolutely great advice. After years of lifting something as simple as shoulder positioning had slipped away. This reminded instantly functionality of my chest. Much appreciated.
This is actually super helpful as I have partial tears in both of my biceps and I always have a very difficult time activating my chest during chest training. John Meadows always providing amazing information
Eugene is the man!
I definitely struggle with feeling my right pec and it shows with the development... can’t wait to test this out!
This is a good visual aid because he has big developed muscles to actually see what's being discussed
Very nice illustration. Wish I knew all this before I got my shoulder injured while pressing.
Karun Verma ughhhh preach dude. Know that feeling all too well
Awesome
I hurt my left one 5 yrs ago & it still ‘clicks’ to this day.
So happy I found this all the time I spent working on my chest with little results now a slight repositioning of the shoulders now I feel the burn Thank you.
I cannot tell you how much your videos have improved my workouts and form. Lifting this morning I did this activation and I’ve never felt my chest more during a workout. Thank you for the videos keep them coming!!
This has saved my life. I still need alot of practice before i can perfect the movement, but gains are on the way 💪
This has to be the greatest video on chest ever. This literally cured the MMC problem for me and my chest has not stopped growing since
Finally, a proper video on how to activate your chest, after viewing hundreds of videos I finally found a legit one, thanks man
Great idea for warming up prior to chest work. Something so easy to do and I will begin to incorporate this into my workout. Thanks for sharing.
In just a very short period of time, 8 minutes to be precise, these two men explained to the entire world how to [much] more effectively work chest. And yet, less than 3k thumbs up.
:/
Brutal.
But, THANK YOU for the knowledge. Will be employing this knowledge post haste.
6:25 John feeling his chest muscles for the first time
lmao
bro this made me laugh oso hard hhhh have a great day
Man two legends in one video. Miss ya John
Honestly can’t believe I haven’t tried this before. Great advice, thank you guys!
Very intellectual way to train. Just like how B paks style.
God bless you man, i feel it fr
Update, probably the best chest day ive ever had
I’ve been watching Eugene for a couple months now (just got halfway thru a year of consistent working out and started taking things a lot more seriously), and he ALWAYS has the waist length hair. If I didn’t hear the accent, I never would’ve guessed this is the same exact Eugene Teo I’ve been watching 😆
Oh boy... The way that peck pop's up when John squeezes it....
Thanks for such a good explanation
As always great content 😊
Glad I found your channel. I'm disappointed I missed you at the olympia. You teach very well.
Tried your rack method with a pillar in my house - CHEST FIBRES WOKE RIGHT UP. Thanks for all the great advice!
I reeeeeally needed this. Always wondered why I felt the bench Press more on my shoulders than my actual chest. Thanks so much.
Amazing knowledge, this has added a whole new dimension too my training.
This I've struggled with all my life, to feel the chest when contracting. I don't know why. Thanks so much!
Me too, and sadly this didn’t change anything for me.
Can only feel shoulders.
Eugene way better here than his latest videos , I like the way he’s more direct in his explanations
I want to say thank you for this video. I used your technique along with some band work before my chest routine and it helped a lot. Best pump I've had in a while
this was actually super helpful, I did the movements same time he showed us with my left hand touching my chest and I really could feel it. Hopefully i can remember this tomorrow during work out. thank yo so much!
I tried it sitting on my chair...and WTF, guys this is GOLD INFO right there... wow
I’ve done this before but never the other way I’ll get it a go see if it gives me abit more stability great vids keep it up
I had this problem i started using dumbells flat snd incline half way up id twist them bring them together ..worked a treat !
What a great unique way of training your mind muscle connection game for pre workout. I think this would also help with keeping your ego in check also as you would go into your workout with the intent to focus that mind muscle of fully contracting your fibres for maximal growth as oppose to just using your fibres for just moving weight or what Kai Greene would say “weightlifting” there’s a difference
exactly!
Nice definitely will do this from now on before hitting chest , makes more sense with mind muscle connection as well
Not keeping the shoulder tucked back was my mistake. Can feel it now, thanks for the tips.
This is exactly what I've been noticing in playing around with the feel/contraction. Your instructions make so much sense and help enforce that I'm on the right track. Thank you
I wanted to tell you guys that I do not do this too often, i m extremely scarce on praises but you guys know your shit, this is accurate and precise and explanatory, and above all efficient, Kudos to you.
Thank you very much!
Very helpful and useful video. Addresses a very crucial issue related to chest development. Thanks for all the inputs.
I figured this out on my own. It's very helpful. I do think it grows your muscles though, if you concentrate and flex hard enough you can really feel it.
This video is exactly wat I needed I've always been strong on dumbell presses but cud never get a gud pump in the pecs my delts an shoulder's wud always take over no matter wat I did. I'm guna give this a try hopefully it helps activate my pecs
Well what do you know the day I start worrying about chest activation this pops up, Thanks man!
Thanks a lot. I’ve been having problems trying to get the mind muscle connection on my chest. Now I understand where I’ve been going wrong.
I have been training for yrs and I have been doing it wrong! Thank you for showing me the right way.So grateful to watch the number one training channel on TH-cam Thank you for sharing your awesome video Mountain ⛰ dog 🐕
Ingenious! I feel the different fiberpaths with this tip.
I do this strech/contraction warm-up and I do the push your hands together on bar press. Bpak style
John, your channel has so much value and I hope people see how important the things you put out are. Wish you all the best my man!
thank you!!!!
I spent 5 minutes doing these before a mountain dog chest day and found a remarkable improvement in my ability to connect with the pecs throughout the entire range of motion. I think I will definitely incorporate these before chest days
excellent!
You deserve everything good in the whole world
Brother a huge thank you...I've successfully wasted 1 year but now imma do it right 👍
Thank you! Any help for these old shoulders is much appreciated 👍
Awesome tutorial. Thank you. I have shoulder issues and that 10 rack hold going from I side to outside is awesome. Feels good
The whole point of this channel is to make fitness and everything u do in tbe gym understandably easy💯❤️
very interesting, i'm finally understanding that the contraction is when bringing the arm across the pec... except your arm doesn't come across the body with a barbell bench press? not sure i'll ever get it lol
Do butterfly press on a machine and you will feel it. I see other videos with proper bench press form where they say to bring yoour shoulder blades together, imo that is shortening the move range in the arms. With that said, i feel like im doing half a rep like that and dont feel it in the pecs.
I felt it. I didn't know it was there. Now, I can expect that whe I'm doing chest. Thanks.
Wow! Thanks for the info, been struggling to improve my mind muscle connection in pecs area, and building quality chest muscles. Will incorporate this to my routine 🙏🏽
The best way, I find, is to pin those shoulders back, use dumbbells.
I also find that holding them loosely helps put the stress on the pecs- anytime you’re wrapping tightly around the weight (Whether pushing or pulling), takes the stress away from your target.
Yeah that rack excerise is so gud I can feel some intensity in my chest without prepumping with weights thx for great advice
This is brilliant. I feel the muscle fibres clearly. Thanks for this brilliant tip
I’ve been having trouble firing up the chest for a long time, this is helping tremendously !
Gosh! I'm a right fanfreak right now, 2 of my [somewhat recently discovered] top building gurus in the same gym...together...as buddies? I'm looking forward to this one. R.I.P. Big Dog you cornpone legend you
Videos the every man needs. At any level
Been waiting for these vids to come out since your visit John. Mountain Dog and the Muscle Mechanic collab, awesome stuff!
Mountain Dog always looks so innocent and his voice is always calm and soft. :D
Just got done with chest and back. Thanks for the video!!
this is goat'd ... doing after a session helps with cooldown and recovery too
Even though i know this stuff it's good to be reminded because it's so easy to lose focus and go through the motions
Great advice, wish I would've watched this when it was released. Makes since why I have no growth in mid upper inner chest. My shoulder is doing too much of the press
Im doing that mind/muscle prep today b4 my chest work John. Ty.
I started retraining after a long hiatus of over 3 years.
Being detrained I could not even do push ups for pecs in my first week. So instead I’ve been doing resistance band unilateral flys. Same as what is described in this vid.
It enables me to change angles for maximal concentric motion, plus I get a good stretch on the eccentric portion. I find slowing the speed especially at the squeeze point stimulates best.
But to get an insane pump the speed comes in to it with high reps. Pecs have both slow and fast twitch fibres so so changing up tempo really helps.
I can almost do 20 body weight push ups now after 3 weeks. My pecs are more like pecs now and less like man boobs.
This is legendary info! Clicked instantly after a chest workout with little activation! Thank you
Great information. I've felt more in my chest from these exercises than bench pressing in the last 2 yrs. Couldn't find the mind/chest muscle connection to save my life
good deal!!!
You're freaking awesome man. One of my biggest inspirations in bodybuilding and in life. I've had the pleasure of chatting with you a few times through email but it's a dream to meet you and maybe even train with you one day. Keep it up man. You inspire so many people. You've changed my life dramatically with your knowledge.
thank you!
My two favorite trainers together. I really enjoy both your channels.
Mate this is what people need to see more of no mind to muscle connect no gains thanks for the pain helped so much!!
Man I am going to try to focus on this more because I have ALWAYS struggled with chest. I can do pretty high weight on dumbbells but bars I really struggle.
Simple but yet sometimes surprisingly quite hard to reach🤔 I learned that it is good idea to get that connection right before doing heavy presses... Do your warm up, people 🏆
Pressing with focus on the outer part of the palm helped me eliminating a big part of the delts in benching. But make sure you don’t lift heavy like this. It’s not about lifting heavy, it’s about intensity increased on a progressive manner. It’s most of the time the more weight that makes us fail to feel the right muscle. I’ve done that wrong a lot. I would not want another person to do that.
this. Ego will only hinder your progress, need to really focus on the muscle and if you can't sustain the focus on the target muscle the weight is too heavy
Rick F agreed 👌🏻
Omg. Why don't I find this knowledge before,.. Thx so much
Keep feeling it in my shoulders… have always had trouble with that one I’m at a loss almost affraid of a shoulder injury
Just now getting to this video, but ever since my labrum tear surgery, ALL my chest workouts end up with little to no feeling in my pecs but on my long head biceps tendon and front delts. I'm trying this tonight!!!!
