Don’t know if you check these comments but I recommend trying an underhand grip on a smith machine flat bench. Probably the most surprisingly useful variation I’ve found over the last few years.
Good call on the pushups. Two torn rotator cuffs and a supraspinatus tear due to excessive pushups. Had one shoulder repaired, and it feels worse than the one that’s still torn. Once you mess up your shoulders, there’s a good chance they’ll never be the same. Thanks for the video!
Great breakdown! Love how you mix practical advice with humor. Definitely repping those chest exercises with new motivation! 💪🔥 Thanks for keeping it real and relatable.
@@robbertag808 Nope, it's not enough...4 is minimum, and 5-6 is perfect ,of course, another level...maybe for you, if you're just starting🤷♂️I'm 19 years into fitness buddy👍
Do you guys have videos about doing chest exercises with a bad shoulder? Jeff references his bad shoulder and I'd be interested in learning more about what exercises he did to help recover and get back up to speed, along with how he mitigates further issues.
Shift to neutral grip for a while, takes a huge load off the shoulder when doing chest. then strengthen your rotator cuffs and shoulder muscles slowly.
Just found your channel, and it's been a lifesaver! I'm using weight training for my rehab - I had a stroke that left me paralyzed on the right side. Thanks for the content! I'd love to hear more about how you rehabbed your shoulder. I blew mine up due to the paralysis and overworked it when function started to return.
@@tnn-cj3vyPretty sure Dr Mike would disagree for some of Jeff's advice. AthleanX had some controversies with other youtubers with the same type of content
13 million subscribers? Congratulations! I remember when you were under 1 million. I remember when Jessie wasn't a thing lol. I'm glad to see you guys are still rocking together. Your videos have helped me tremendously. High five! Edit because I made this comment before the video was done. But do you have any advice for someone (me) who can't do dips because it KILLS my hands. Im a web developer and I kinda have carpa tunnel syndrome l lol. I can't do 2 dips without my hands catching fire. thanks
Couple options. Assisted dip machine. Tricep pushdown machine: Allows your palms to take most of the pressure, rather than having a rigid grip on the handles. That's a tricky one though. There's not much you can do to avoid pressure on the wrists.
Thanks Jeff. Where I had been working out did not have a station for dips. But they did have a couple sets of rings hanging from the ceiling. I discovered that took dips to a whole new level.
Howdi, Jeff! Could you please make a video explaining the correct usages of the abdominal belt and another gym implements like wrist, knee and elbow pads? Hugs from Cuba! Come some day to here!!! 🥳
I had bench flyes in my newly created program. Thanks for letting me see the light. I've switched to 3d crossovers. Boom! Now my plan is perfect. Yes I do face pulls.
Thank you for your videos! They are on point and never disappointing. Always full of expert, reliable advice and guarantee results. Even for the ladies :)
Have a pain in my left shoulder?So,liking the idea of the single arm presses.Chest night today and I am definitely going to change my presses up to singles.👏🏻💪🏼
I recently replaced flat bench with just dips. I know what you're thinking, but hear my reasoning. As a mountain hiker/rock climber, weighted dips are far more beneficial for me personally because I use that movement frequently, with a 20 pound bag on my back, on crappy terrain. Benching, not so much. So I go with heavy dips, and neutral cable crossovers for mid chest
maybe also nice to place category of beginner, intermediate and advance exercise for discussed exercises. although the explanation was clear, maybe a nice final advise with rank so beginners can avoid doing exercises that’s clearly for more advance lifters. Just a thought overall this was a good video. I learned a lot
Sensi Wong would have us look forward when we did pushups. We also did them with static. We'd hold our pushup half way on the way down, then 6" from the floor and then again half way on the way back up. We'd hold each position for 10 seconds and repeat.
Why flat bench vs. incline? My understanding was that incline bench involved more chest muscle fibers due to the increased ROM, while still effectively targeting the middle pecs as research showed it worked just as hard as the flat bench during the incline.
Or just do both. I start with incline 3 sets, then do flat for another 3 sets and end with either 3 sets of high to low cable crossover, assisted dips or some chest fly.
@@GDRobbye Yep. I've been doing that, but compound sets. Incline barbell/incline flyes, then flat barbell/flat flyes. To get really nasty, add in partials, rest/pause, drop set and repeat.
I’m a lot older than you I was bodybuilding when you were still in dippers, I got creative and laying on a bench doing a straight arm pull over doing wide grip and a shoulder grip plus a narrow grip will work all areas of the chest you can lower the bench for lower chest or raise the bench for upper chest, plus the chest will not reach its full potential size unless the latissimus Dorsi muscles of the upper back are fully developed. So by revising your grip on the barbell with shoulder width grip and having your head just a little over the bench so the barbell is tucked under your head as you bring the barbell over your head you will work the lats, and you can also lower the bench for lower lats and have that cobra back effect
Funny Jeff, I messed my shoulder up bad doing your 2nd best chest workout! Lifting that heavy and then trying to drop the dumbells!! Never had shpulder problems from any fly workout even on a bench only lifting stupid amounts of weight and a bench press like in number 2. Lowered and do proper now and on floor and safe!
What is your opinion on the fly-presses? You can go pretty heavy with them and overload the exercise significantly. I do fly presses with a neutral grip and on a flat bench. Personally I think is a great addition to basic bench presses as the greater range of motion and adding lengthened partial at the end can build big and symmetrical pecs.
As far as the plate press. I like to do them at the very end of a work out or immediately after a set to failure. Except I don't hold the plate sideways like that. I hold it like steering wheel. I really feel a ton of activation with a 35 or 45 lbs plate
Question (maybe a video idea?): Is there an age at which I should stop lifting heavy weights? I'm 38. I ruptured my achilles tendon 2 years back (playing basketball) and that, along with watching videos of pectoral tears during benching, make me worry about lifting heavy weights. I stopped doing max weight reps, but there are few things I love more than pumping out 5-6 reps of 225 on the bench. Thanks for all of your content!
44 yo lifelong gymrat here, I realized in my late 30's that renegeration becomes 'different' (=starts to suck;) and my body gave me a few smaller and bigger warnings to stop acting like a young gun, I've done 2 major changes, 1st is I never touch weights 2 days in a row (after weights, always a day of cardio/aerobic, or sometimes rest), 2nd majority of my workouts became '1 set every minute' sets without muscle failure, alternating exercises (for example: 3 chinups-15 pushups-3 pullups-5 dips; and this x10). Surprisingly, this routine keeps me in a decent shape. You have to ask yourself why/what for do you need to lift heavy, and is it worth the risk of injuries. To me, the answer was clear, I don't need any personal bests at 40yo, I accept the curve of life, and just want to feel overally good.
Dr Mike has a video about lifting when aging, basically you should shift to more reps and less weight so is more gentle to the joints and way less prone to injure.
Hey Jeff, can we get more of your personal workout videos? You uploaded your shoulder workout a few months ago, would be some great video ideas to see your leg day or arm day
I'm 68 went from 273 at six foot one to 219 shooting for 195 then bulk up with protein foods and anarobics .I read where old er guys like me have to use more intensity to gain sculpt tone build muscle . I like difficult challenges.yiur videos help .wish I learned about processed food and constant anarobics when I was younger i.learn late in life alot .I been doing pushups alot 80 a day in 15 reps sets planks horizontal leg lifts and I do 3 day fasts any suggestions should I join gym for cable fly machines or buy one . Going try your twist pushups I have heart I just have train my body to keep up .I ruck three miles to with 35 pound back back .good videos thank you
I hope i didnt miss the video but is there one where you show us exercises to improve the shoulder stability? i do facepulls 2-3x a week out of my 5 day workout plan.
What about chest press machine? It's a pretty popular machine where i go but i don't ever see anyone include that in their tier lists /exercise ratings
Probably because you can generally get better stretch with dumbbells. And as you probably know, stretching the muscle is important if you want to train more efficiently. My gym also has various chest press machines, but they're not as popular as bench press or dumbbell press
Chest press machines are great. I use them in slot 3 or 4 in my chest workout. If I didnt feel like I got enough intensity with bench press and dips, I will put a lot of weight on a press machine and push hard. Most of the time I'm going for 8 to 15 reps though, anywhere in there is pretty good.
I get plenty of strech with the machine and my shoulders thank me. I guess it depends on the machine. Most of the exercises shown by Jeff here mess up my shoulders once I start using heavier weights. The machine is awesome.
@@ovidiuc4 Same for me on the stretch. I do sometimes get shoulder pain though but i think (?) it's gotten better ever since i press with open palms instead of gripping the handle
I never do push-ups. I learned a long time ago that the number of push-ups I can do increases when I do the bench press and not when I do more push-ups. Because with the bench press you can control the weight more as opposed to a push-up you can't control the weight and you can alter it a little bit by elevating your feet or your torso and use Push-Up Bars however it's just not worth it to me and the only time I will do push-ups for a warm up
Decline bench press I haven’t tried it yet but based on how red your face looked, does that not indicate blood overflow to the head which could cause some dizziness and any other issues for others?
I need advice on something I can't find much online about. I want a bigger chest but don't want bigger triceps. I almost rather lose a bit of mass on them they got too big. Any tips for A. Growing my chest without Growing my triceps too or B. Growing my chest and losing some size in my triceps? Also can I grow my shoulders bigger without growing my arms anymore?
Any tips for someone struggling with shoulder bursitis? I had a cortisone injection 6 months ago and have been extremely diligent doing physiotherapy to try and correct it but now that the cortisone injection has wore off again I’m still having pain that seems to be getting worse again. I haven’t even really started lifting heavy again since the injury which is frustrating. I had just started trying to progressive overload again but kept everything in 10-15 rep range. 34 years old and otherwise healthy.
Declined bench press with dumbbells, I do them because they work the lower chest muscle. The chest is 3 muscles mainly. Flat works the middle more, inclined the upper more, and to balance it out I also work declined. It's good for definition.
Curious to know how ur training techniques holdup to the newer studies on eccentric stretch as being more anabolic than the concentric squeeze? Especially with the pec dec and pec fly and that position u talked against now being more beneficial for that exercise. And the plate press according to the new data is a really useless exercise
Just because you can't get as good a stretch with the pec dec as you can with the pec fly, doesn't mean it won't build the chest up. Before all these studies came out, people were just lifting weights without thinking too much about science or trying to maximize gains, and they still got jacked. Like Jeff said in the video, pec dec is probably a safer alternative to the pec fly. Once those dumbbells get heavy enough, you risk injuring yourself with the pec fly.
@@GDRobbye im not discrediting the old way. We all kno it works but if the new data says we’re leaving a lot at the door and Jeff is even utilizing the eccentric stretch then I’m asking for his opinion on it.
@@native405pride but you also don't want to stay there doing 40 reps either. Besides, they all seem to be personal preference rather than science based picks.
