Incline Bench Press Mistake (STOP DOING THIS!) 

He is way better than Sean. No toxic content stealed from other influencers.

@@SuperSkunk1420 dumbest comment you’ve made today.

@@SuperSkunk1420 did Sean still your girlfriend?

@@thanglenmangsitlhou4388 idk if he better than Sean but Sean is lowkey a crybaby

@@michaelmayers3622 genuine question, how is Sean a crybaby? I enjoy his content, I’d like to know your thoughts on the guy.

Is this not the correct way then?

No I don’t think this is correct at all

@@paulusquagmire3637 yeah it is correct,But i think sean will also have flaws in it🥶

@@shuto.acierno yeah but not for sean

@@shuto.acierno the arch lifting, from chest to above head is certainly correct. What is wrong about this in your opinion? I like to know.

Definitely

Damn! I was trying to curve and fucking my shit up! I thought I was doing something wrong. I’m going back to the up and down

@@RegentofArrako do like the young man shown in the clip and you'll develop your shoulders an no chest, so NO, if there must be an ANGLE, it must be 80-70 degree, and do not you ever touch the chest with the bar while doing incline press, the barbell must be in the air through THE WHOLE SET, so there is no "point on the surface of the chest of touching the chest" - there is THE PROECTION OF THE POINT OF TOUCHING, an END of the amplitude will EVER be on the air, higher or lower, bot at the air (the more professional you are the lower you can go - MAY BE), but don't touch untill the end.

@@DoctorIsenberg will do!!!!

@@RegentofArrako I'm glad I could be of help. Listen, the main reason that touch approaches are not applicable in this movement is that there is a main condition for performing the exercise - maintaining the body figure, NAMELY - maintaining the angle between the body and the shoulder part of the arm, since if the angle is not optimal, the chest will not be involved into the work as powerfully as possible, too saggital - no, too adducting - also no. So, the reason for the exceptional applicability of sets within the amplitude in the inclined barbell press is that, provided that the body figure is preserved, the DEGREE OF FREEDOM of the shoulder joints is EXHAUSTED LONG BEFORE the bar of the barbell touches the surface of the chest, long! For some it is five centimeters to the surface, for some it is 4, for others it is 6 - it depends on the anatomy (which also tends to change) - this is something that NONE of these young advisers of dubious orientation will NEVER say. Well, if, following the example of the young chemical advisers, you confuse your goal setting and SET A GOAL to touch your chest, then yes, for THIS you really need to do exactly as the chemist showed in this video - you need to create an angle between the torso and the arm of 45 degrees and lower the bar to the middle of the chest, and if it drifts even lower, then it’s even more comfortable! What a beauty! The chest, however, will remain almost the same as it was, but it doesn’t matter, right.. (according to would-be trainers) Look what Scott Herman looks like - look at his “chest” - here’s the best example of what not to do. Now, pay attention to how your elbows behave, if you succeed in this, look at what will happen to the movement: half of your press will go into the sagittal, your elbows will go forward, the adductor part of the movement will generally turn into something unintelligible, and you won’t pump up any chest. Young chemical would-be trainers have completely confused goal-setting from taking decadurabulin and merging their brains with smartphones.

@@DoctorIsenberg thank you so much!!!! This was very helpful! I’ll try it tonight!

You nailed it! Light/moderate weight and pausing at the bottom is the key to building your upper chest and getting that Franco Columbu chest split! What this guy is suggesting will truly hurt your shoulders, especially at such a steep angle! Now if the guys were at 15 degrees, I may agree but once the middle chest is no longer involved, that flat bench path is no longer important.

Nice terminology

Is this true? I've been doing the nipples thing and barely feel my chest working at all.

@@parry3439 try it if you don’t believe me. Your chest will be on fire. Start with lighter weights so your body can get used to it. 10-15 reps.

That was also Arnold's style.

It wasn’t the incline. It was likely your form, or to heavy weight. Yo over extend the range of motion by trying to curve the bar path will lead to injury 0 doubt.

exactly the giotine press so this dudes forgetting that variation.

Thank you I fucked my shoulders up yesterday cause of this bs lol

The way u mentioned works tho thank you

You were doing it right. This form works the same part of the chest that a flat bench press does.

No, smith is good. You're doing fine. Don't listen to BS smith machine is bad. Use it. Also sometimes all benches are being used, but not the smith machine, so use it. You're doing good, I have used it for bench press, incline, and even shoulder press. If I go heavy on incline, no one to support me. I got no spotter but with smith machine, I'll feel a lot safer man if I can't get the last one and bar comes down on me. Use the smith machine!

I agree

I agree also,, you’ll have a heck of a front delt tho!😅! I keep it right under the chin.

Just watched arnold do incline he went straight up. Arguably best chest.

​@@c8h8e8c8k8m8e8o8u8tsteroids+genetics,he did lots of bs training but when you can train for 8h a day anything will work

agree, you can negate the stress on your shoulders if you follow the same queue you use in flat bench, create a slight arch in your mid back to raise your chest toward the bar.

Not a healthy workout for shoulders.... Plus that means your shoulders are overactive than your chest.. Which defeats the purpose of a chest workout

you prob won't see this but incline DBs are much better if you have shoulder pain with incline bench

why? also is this video correct?@@pxlshadow5889

Incline is about using light/moderate weight and focusing on the stretch at the bottom, pausing for 2-3 seconds, and pressing back up to repeat the cycle... Not many know this and go heavy, and F up a shoulder real quick. This movement should be in the category of Flys, Crossovers, ect, (Isolation movement)

@@tonynorris1506 what does it mean when my shoulder hurts when doing incline

@@jeffguzman6497 Have u tried going light for incline? Also, do you retract your shoulders the same as you would on a flat bench press? Retracting the shoulders puts your front Delts behind your chest to where your chest does most of the work (although front Delts definitely have more of a load on them at a 45 degree angle) If your shoulder is otherwise fine, it may have to do with weight. Although you could have strained your shoulder and if so, give it time to recoup and try again. At 15-30 degrees, you can use about 75-80% of your flat bench weight being your middle chest is still involved, but at 45, that's when you wanna do 50-60% of your flat bench weight, and do slow reps with a pause at the bottom, being the upper chest stretch on incline is what stimulates the most growth. Hopefully this helps, Although if you have a mild shoulder Injury already, it's hard to say but maybe try 30 degrees with lighter weight and focus on the bar coming down an inch 2 or so below your collar bone, same as the 45 degree method, and once you get the hang of that, Try 45 again. If wife grip with flared elbows hurt your shoulder, turn your elbows to maybe 45 degrees. It's a stretch in your upper pecs that you'll notice immediately when everything is aligned properly, especially when your upper chest is sore afterwards. Report back if any of these tips help.

Exactly.

Honestly for the smith machine you either have to position the seat so you can have a more natural movement or tuck the elbows close to your rib cage and push them a bit to the front so your shoulders/rotator cuffs don’t receive unnecessary pressure. But if you can just stick to either a barbell or dumbbells.

Kick the smith machine

Just need your hands positioned properly and the bar, it’s literally impossible to do this on a smith machine and I can still hit my chest

I was wondering the same thing, how would this apply on a smith machine?

Its not true

do the world a favor and don't become a personal trainer
