I Did HIS Chest Workout (AT HIS GYM!)

  • If you want to build a bigger chest then you'll want to use a chest workout that checks all the boxes and delivers the pec gains that you're pursuing. In this video, Jesse from ATHLEAN-X takes me through his chest workout at his gym. For years, these two have been building Jesse up from within the walls of the ATHLEAN X Box. Now, he’s fully grown and ready to roam. See as he takes Jeff Cavaliere through his very own chest workout using machines, dumbbells and even chains.

    This workout for chest starts with the classic dumbbell bench press. After a couple brief warmup sets, the two set out to perform 4 sets for this basic chest building exercise. The first two sets are for 10-12 reps and the last two are heavier, with the goal being 4-5 reps. That is, until Jesse changes the script and makes the last set an AMRAP. Throw a little extra incentive in to the winner and we have the makings of a little bench press competition to raise the stakes even higher.
    From here, the two move onto the classic pec deck chest fly. Typically, this is an exercise that Jeff doesn’t like. That said, it is much preferred to the unsupported dumbbell chest fly that is performed while laying on a flat bench. The pec deck allows for a safer bottom point, and therefore safer shoulders, than the flat bench dumbbell fly does.
    One of the tips that Jeff shares is that you can rotate your body towards the arm you’re grabbing to make sure that you don’t put any added stress on the anterior shoulder capsule even just getting into the machine. 3 sets of 12-15 reps is what was done to train the adduction of the function of the pecs.
    From there, we moved onto the cable crossover exercise. This is one of my favorite ways to train chest adduction. By doing this one arm at a time you are able to get a better, more focused contraction on each side and help alleviate any muscle imbalances that may exist. The goal here as always is to keep the chest out in front of the shoulder as you bring the arm across.
    If you lead with your shoulder you will shift too much of the load onto the delts and away from the chest. This is one of the most common chest workout mistakes people make. It takes away a lot of the chest growth that you can achieve by doing a workout for chest. 2-3 sets of each arm for this chest crossover exercise is the next step in this chest workout.
    Next, we hit the incline hammer press machine. This is actually a good machine that really helps people to engage their upper chest more effectively. The reason is, that the bench press angle is set to a proper 30 degrees to better engage the upper clavicular fibers better. Also, the machine locking you into the bar path of up and in allows you to really engage the up and in function of the upper pecs. The two load the machine up for 2 sets before moving onto what Jesse calls the “curveball” of the workout.
    Here, they break out the chains. A chest dip alone is not enough to finish this chest workout strong. Instead, they do a chest dip chain finisher. Starting with two chains around their neck, they do a set to failure then immediately strip away one chain and do another set to failure. Not quite done however since they take away the final chain and then do a final bodyweight set to failure as the last part of this triple giant set.
    When you’re in the gym and are looking for a great gym chest workout you have lots of options. Here, you now have an example of a great workout for pecs that can be done with just dumbbells, machines and a few optional chains. Remember, it’s important to perform your sets with an intensity level that challenges you. If you’re looking to build bigger pecs you have to force them to grow. This comes from choosing chest exercises and workouts that challenge them from every angle and every function.

    Chest has always been amongst my weakest workouts, but looking at this gives me incentive that if I am to try and up my weight and aim for strength, it's not always about the reps. It's about the effort you put in. This has been awesome! I changed my program recently to try and aim for 2-4 reps per set on the bench, with the intention of upping the weight. I think it is also important to consider hypertrophy (sometimes I do that on the incline dumbbell bench press and cable flies/crossovers).

    • @nikolairodriguez9088
      @nikolairodriguez9088 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you achieve hypertrophy with heavy weight too what i recommend warm up start heavy then go low. What i do personally is go up in weight with 3 sets then back down in weight 3 sets. You can switch grips if you want so that way you hit wide and inside for more chest pump. The main point is getting as close to failure as possible the closer you get the more you gain from it but with all things stay safe.

    How does the different strength (high intensity, low rep) approaches compare to each other? I'm thinking of 3x5, 5x5, 1RM and "reverse drop-sets" (i.e. increasing weight while reducing reps to finish with a single heavy set with failure between 1 and 5 reps).
    In general, I would love to see more videos covering the science behind different training modalities, how they affect different goals and how they overlap, complement or interfere with each other.

    • @beef_file4459

      Sounds excessive, but individual preferences are a thing. Try it out for yourself, experiment. It might work for you, might not for the majority.
      Also, if you're still an amateur. Just do 3 sets of 12, *with a weight that takes you to failure on 12*. Your muscles will still grow, only do things like this when you're a pro and the conventional method is no longer enough.
      This is from the knowledge I've gained from my experience. I'm not a trainer so you do you

    Hey Jeff! This was a great video idea. I really enjoyed it, and appreciate all of your top notch consistent content.
    Question for you if you have a moment:
    When working shoulders and doing side lateral raises in particularly; (I've been following your tips of getting my thumbs up at the top, externally rotating, and NOT pouring the pitchers) my shoulders seem to click a lot. It doesn't feel like the joint is moving through it's range of motion smoothly. It's not a feeling that's painful, but it makes me worried that I could be causing damage and makes me cautious to bump up in weight. What's the best way for me to address this?

    • @jeremywolf1560
      @jeremywolf1560 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A great way to eliminate shoulder and rotator cuff tightness and injury is to perfom side lateral raises while laying down on a bench. By laying and using a resistance pully machine that is equipped with separate handles, you can safely focus on your deltoids while taking your traps out of the picture. Your traps can often take over a lot while performing standing lateral raises. Try to keep your chest perked up and lats tucked back while doing this exercise to emphasize more deltoid activation. Hope that provides some input, Stuart. Best.

    • @edmediciN7
      @edmediciN7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It could be the tendons of the rotator cuff getting in the way of the fluid movement of the shoulder for not being properly contracted. I had some pops during lateral and frontal raises. After adjusting the movement and getting stronger with the muscles these pops disapear. There were some vids in the channel about getting theses muscles stronger, I would recomend checking out

    "FAST ACTION" Q&A* - Jeff, what is your opinion on Blood Flow Restriction Training being used to enhance a workout? I've heard about the benefits of using it to help recovery from an injury, but I also know that it is becoming popular to help enhance a regular workout. I'm a boxer, and I've read that BFR is very useful for combat athletes since it focuses on the fast twitch muscle fibres, whilst allowing an athlete to build strength and hypertrophy with lighter weights.
    Is BFR training something that you would advocate or not? Thanks.

      AF -- There are some good tips, here. But, also, since you're just starting out, check your posture and look at Jeff's routines for improving it (nerd neck, pelvic tilt, etc.). If you're exercising intensively while you still have bad posture, your joints will often feel the brunt of it. This is why Jeff advises that beginners work on posture early, before injuring themselves. I believe that's how Jesse began with Jeff, too. He worked on Jesse's posture and made videos about it. Good luck!
