    Ben is so calculated and educated about training, he gets more benefit out of 60lbs dumbbells than most bodybuilders get from double that weight.

      90% of his work and success is because most of his bodybuilding career was focused on actual sports science, biomechanics and cell chemistry. His workouts, his diet, his "juice", and even his rest was totally science-based. This man and Jim stoppani are those that took muscular development out of the broscience world

    8:40 "It feels completely different" exactly, you're doing it properly, when I started Ben's MI40 program, the 1 second Up and 4 seconds negative stimulated the most hypertrophy (Muscle growth) with less then half the weight I used to use. Ben is the best.

  • @Kaven_Benoit
    @Kaven_Benoit 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @Pak-man aka Ben Pakulski; I only stumbled on your video two weeks ago. I'm really amazed at how simple the explanation about the pec major insertion was so that its contraction be optimal. Because of past shoulder issues, I primarily use heavy dumbbells, so I was skeptical at first since everybody would say: to save your shoulders bring your elbows lower. But in fact, for as long as one uses a slight decline (plate under bench) and arches one's back properly, you can set your elbows close to being in line with one's shoulders without consequences on the condition that one does NOT break form. Turning your hands 45° towards the exterior helps as well. Great reminder where knowing anatomy can lead to improvements...

    Great video.. Apparently from the comments people forget Bodybuilding vs Powerlifting. Bodybuilding is using full range of motion of the muscle for maximum hypertrophy. Powerlifting is maximum efficiency in minimalist range of motion to execute a maximum lift. So in both lifting syles, perfect form is required or injury will result with time when under max weights. So practice your technique first.

    Yeah if you’re thinking about strength instead of recruiting your pecs. If you’re going for a 1 rep max and your concern is your shoulders you should do a shoulder width close grip bench press. That will minimize internal rotation. Ben is discussing how to recruit a muscle function.

      Yowel Flies you don't involve your triceps at all. You use Db press as a compound movement to overload
