    I haven’t benched in almost 8 years- ever since a terrible injury while benching. Been doing floor DB presses ever since. Though I get a lot of sideways glances at the gym from people who don’t seem to understand their benefits. I find it forces you not to overextend yourself and is better on the joints, tendons, and ligaments.

    Great work my man as always.
    This is basically my home chest workout routine, minus the Pullovers which I've never been a big fan of.
    I absolutely love Hex pressing especially on an Incline. I agree with you on the flys too. You did the floor flys 100% correctly. I feel that dumbbell flys are in the top 5 of the most botched gym exercises. Keeping constant tension with a good contractional squeeze is key.
    I have no idea why people feel the need to touch the dumbbells together.

  • @lots3799
    @lots3799 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Wow! Glad you mention that about the chest flys. I stop doing those on my incline bench whether straight or incline. I'll stick with the floor. Those were killing my shoulders. We used to call them hugging a tree. I never liked those. Thought it was just me. Thanks!!

I appreciate this because I just found that my heavy dumbbells are starting to break where the handle meets the heads and I don't want to throw those over my body when they could break. These look like some great options where I can still get good overload even with lighter weights. Thanks!

    0:41 the exact exercise my PT (who’s a lifter) suggested for shoulder protection, even down to the wrist angle. For even more shoulder protection, you can put elbows down to 45 degrees. Thought it’s worth mentioning. The reasoning is that the deep portion of this lift is when the biceps tendon at the shoulder is stretched under the most tension, and at greatest risk of strain. Floor prevents you from going deep.

    Also a great dumbbell move for a great pump for the upper and inner chest is a straight arm front raise but lifting the weight up diagonally across the body so the dumbbell is at the opposite shoulder height, a "cross-body front raise" it's great to do after your heavier benching to get a really nice pump and burn in the upper and inner chest
