Overtraining Chest | Bench Press Progression 

I want to give everybody a pro tip. I've been training people for 35 years. If you notice when this guy is pushing up the weight he is actually holding his breath until he gets to the top and then he exhales. For the majority of people this won't be a problem but I can tell you if you have an aneurysm or high blood pressure, it's a very dangerous way to lift. Even after I got my degree in exercise science, I still didn't know this. I learned this not too long ago when I had to start learning about aneurysms. All exhaling should be done as you are pushing the weight not just when you get done. This goes for every exercise. Most people don't even realize they're doing it and I sure didn't know for a long time. Good luck!.

Damn this guy is still going. I remember watching him like 10 years ago.

I started following Mike & I went from 175 to 225 on the bench

Mike, you’re definitely correct. When he pushed up that 315, I grabbed my shoes and my hoodie. Omw to the gym right now!!!! Thanks for the content. 🔥

I remember mike , big rob, bulo, and CT first started on RU-vid them guys taught me everything i know and wanna say thank y'all for all lessons

Mike rashid teachings helped me get stronger.... Overtraining is the only way to grow 💯

What a lucky man to get to train with meaningful tips and advice. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="120">2:00</a> <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="180">3:00</a> <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="304">5:04</a> 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Glad to see you back brother, You had me Jacked ten years ago. Pure motivation.

This video was 🔥 Mike. Takes me back to your original training methods and your old videos. Thank you King. We need more like this. Shout out the young man too. He held his own on a totally new routine. Very impressive!

Yess we need more videos like this, different muscle groups with the info and tips💪🏼🙏🏼

I miss your videos like this bro videos like this is the reason I started following you since 2014 thank you

Love Mike from early man... his advice always hits your mind and soul. CT and Simeon videos 🫡

Mike, I love your content bro. I’ve been a spectator for years and you’ve always been consistent in your teachings and practices. I credit you as much of the reason why my training has progressed so much over the past couple years. Much love and respect bro, keep up the great work my guy! 💯💪🏿

Appreciate you Mike for not being scared to correct and give feedback. Look at how it increased and improved his bench! I'm doing Kingmaker rn and loving it! Exerting myself and it feels like a reward

Damn Mike this is the best shit I’ve seen all day. One love fellas. My man is a killer! He saw that shit all the way through. Real men know what that’s about. Much respect. Halas 💪🏾

This is exactly how my dad trained me. Guys don't understand there is a method to the madness. You want to get stronger you have to push yourself and struggle to failure. Love the workout Mike !!

Great tips and advice this is what I like about watching you bruh! This is why I started following you keep it up 👍🏽

Got to be dialed in for every set for every rep. That mind muscle connection is so critical. Even with a plate you connect with the muscle you can feel the muscle work throughout the whole movement. May not be the same work as two plates but you can still feel it. I close my eyes when I do most of my lifts. This allows for a symbiotic connection between mind and muscle.

Damn been a minute since I saw a Rashid video but glad this popped up! Just getting back into lifting after a few months I needed this push , love this shit!

This video motivated tf outta me. Great content 💪🏿💯

This is facts straight up gems

I needed to see this!! I gotta step up my intensity!!

💪🏿🔥Super Dope Video!🔥🔥💯💯 Ain't seen one like this in a while👏🏿👏🏿 Plus all the free Game a well is the best part! Good shit Mike!🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Lord knows I needed this video. I saw it last night and instantly wanted to go to the gym. Like buddy, I've been comfortable at 225. This morning, I got up to 295 for 2. 3 plates coming soon

That elbow tip is golden, going to use that

hell yea man he smashed it i was hyped for this lad

Good shit Mike 💪

Big Fax!! When he did the 305 the first time. I said Mike just put this man in a different stratosphere!! And I was like I’m doing this my next workout and I’m going to start working toward more gains. It maybe a bit different for me because I’m fasting on my workout days but I’m getting stronger ever time I go back to my gym. It the mindset. The body will do what you tell it to do!! And seeing him do that 305 as many times as he did was PURE INSPIRATION!!

learned a lot watching and listening to this 💪🏾

so much wisdom in this great video

Definitely gained new insights on how I train. I do go to failure as I'm going up in weight but no longer. Awesome advice Thanks Mike.

A video that was actually making sense of lifting🔥💯🙏🏾🛐

Two of the best 🔥🔥🔥

Don’t watch to many videos like this but have to say it’s great video going to do chest today !! Good job bro

That fact that Mike rashid has broken down the basics of weight training is phenomenal! If you go back and watch his old videos he talks about the importance of the basics.

I forgot watching you definitely had my bench go up I gotta remember to watch again

I would love to see more videos like this

Big Mike I appreciate the lesson on the arm form and position. I started back working out and injured my shoulder 3 reps in on 100lbs.. This really helped

Good stuff Bro

Good advice

This has motivated me for chest tomorrow man

Audio Visual Motivation. Thank you

I'm 225lbs and hit 365lbs today. I'm feeling great. My goal was 405 end of year

Greatness the coaching is immaculate immaculate

Damn this good info

Video was 🔥🔥

Cant wait for the squat vid💪🏾

That shirt 🔥​​🔥​​​🔥​ OG

🔥 workout 💪🏾

Honestly the dude is in great shape and looks healthy. I would tell him keep doing what he’s doing

Been doing something similar to this occasionally , but seeing this vid added some structure to my workout

bruhh... I SAID IT RIGHT BEFORE MIKE DID! AS SOO AS HE PICKED IT UP I STARTED YELLING AT MY SCREN AND SAID "im going to the gym right NOW" lol

Nice content

This is golden

Can we all take a moment and respect Mike's beard game..... his beard is ALWAYS on point

I got my plateau too yes you have to make the workout more intense by adding more weight and or doing more reps or changing the various types of muscle engaging. Grips too will help give you variety too

Michael is the truth 😊❤

Pleasure from effort... spoken truth... live the truth

I rock with what you represent.

Real lifting LOVE IT💪🏾😎

Fire video gentlemen!!! How can you apply this to back work?

This is the trainer I need. Mike is a fucking animal!!

Definitely made me want to go to the gym

Mike, absolutely love the content! How long should I rest between sets with this training format?

I like this the ascend and descend.

Yo Mike.. you should do a follow up video with him so we can see his progress/results from your method 💪🏽🔥

This shxt worked,l just graduated into the 120kgs squad 🚀yeah buddy

Cool video mike . How we get are hands on that supplement you advertised?

Facts!

Definitely overtraining. 💪🏾💙

Nice Tip Mike on letting them know the spotter role! I hate when I see that in the gym, the lifter should be able to get his weight up, the spotter is there for when he is in trouble.

I started following Mike and I went from 1 girl to many girls. I feel amazing.

Dayum I feel the pump watching this lmaooo

Strength training & High volume all in one. Best way to train 🦾

I know his arms burning 🔥 messing with Mike!!!😂😂😂 Pain is Temporary, Pride is Forever!
