That one demonstration of the hand on the chest and the difference between 90 to 45º inclination made this video one of the most educational I have ever seen, TY!!
Me too, and I've tried different ways of figuring out the best ways to put my hands and elbows In the right position and best position for lifting. That sums it up.
my chest go so much bigger in 8 month just bench pressing a friend i didnt see in a year was like "wtf your chest is huge" i told him my eyes are up here bro"
I’ve only done these exercises twice in the last week and I can already feel the change in my chest. They’re gonna prove extremely helpful in preparing me for the restart of sports here in Italy. Great videos mate! Cheers.
This is a great bodybuilding channel- no petty gossip, no skits, no BS. Straight business and factual information. I’ve learned so much here, I hit that bell thank you!! 👊💪
The specific guides on direction and angles with the Chest and pectoral Muscles lesson makes this video on of the best ever on how to appropriately Build a fine Chest.
Putting your hand over your pec exercise was golden. I work in a gym on a college campus and will use that to help educate the young men and women here. Great and informative video.
Yeah, these are the 3 exercises, but the video also shows ho to do them right and how many people do them wrong which takes the workout away from the pecs. Too lazy to watch a 9 minute video? Maybe working out isn't for you.
This is one of the best training videos i've seen recently. Filled with good detailed information that is easy to take in. I like your minimalistic view of training. Subscribed.
loads of other video spend majority of the time talking about "People say ABC is the right way but they are wrong", and they never get to the point. This video was awesome and the balance between Words/Science/Demo/Explaining was perfect. The left hand to feel the muscle was a revelation and after many years of benching you've opened my eyes. If I get half as ripped as you dude I will be happy...one new subscriber
Btw, I am so grateful for your demonstration of technique with hand on pec and elbow alignment. I've never done the bench press correctly, according to this and will correct my technique immediately. Thank you so much.
I started doing press, incline and fly with dumbbells at my house for about 6 weeks now, once a week. It’s noticeably making a difference. Instead of my shirts being tight around my waist, they’re now tight around my chest. I still have a long way to go, but as far as chest, I’m definitely on the right path because of this video. Thanks! 💪
Totally agree. I came to these conclusions from my own personal experience with what works best. Trial and error. I will share this video with my beginner friends.
Yeah man you recommend fly's just like Arnold always loved doing them but Athlean-X hates them with a passion and tells everyone not to ever do them so it's just kind of interesting.
Man youre words have substance. Compared to some other channels that talks a lot and makes me more confused after watching instead of learning. Good job
This was the best most informative video you ever made! If you keep this up I can see you becoming bigger! Going to get that book of yours today! Nice job!
I been lifting for years off and on and back in last two wks I’m glad I found ur video had no idea about how u said to do the flyes. Definitely trying this out tmmrw
Just found this channel. I have to say, your voice + style of speaking makes me feel like I'm playing through the tutorial of some sort of fitness video game or fighting game trainer... I'm expecting unlocks and achievements! 👍💯
This is a very useful info man! I've been bench pressing ang having push ups the wrong way all this time. I guess it's fine because it's just been 3 weeks.
Dude, I’m an Athlean-X and Herman fan.... sometimes though they get a bit loud and stressful. Reason I like your calm approach. And the hilarious pants! And when you us the word “bullshit” in your other videos.
I want to say that I have trained for years and only recently have I been getting descent gains on my chest because of an increase of mind muscle connection due to more and different chest exercises. Super Human You is a great example of a channel who gives a variety of chest information but that’s also backed by science.
That's a great video and valuable info - figured that I was doing Chest Press definitely not correct - and I understand where I also put too much strain on my shoulders... - great stuff, thanks so much!
Thank you muscle man! I've been doing the bench press with my elbows out and that is a problem. I've had someone tell me that before but it didn't stick. Putting my hand over the pec and doing that push as I have been lifting on flat bench and I can totally see how that doesn't grow the chest. I'm gonna lose this bird chest soon.
The big AH-HA moment for me with Chest was realizing I need to focus on the concept of making my biceps touch. Put both arms straight out in front of you...make a fist with both hands...keeping your arms straight, bring your fists together in front of you. Notice how your chest didn't do a damn thing?? Now do that again but ignore your fists and focus on trying to make your biceps touch. BOOM. It's the exact same motion but now your chest just went into overdrive. It's so easy to accidentally turn Chest exercises into Arm exercises.
This was by far the Best Strength Training Video on the Internet! People are out here Over-complicating Things n then I finally found truth! This was very helpful. Keep Up the good work.
Absolute great insight. Into the whole explanation of the Chest muscle without over complicating it!. After getting back into fresh training after the lockdown, I'll definitely be just using this formation day in, day out. Perfecto, 💪. You gained a sub from me. Stay safe 👍
I want to download the program offered "7 Hardcore Chest Training Strategies for Massive Growth", but when I click on the link there's no place to order this DVD. How do I get it??
I just started doing dumbbell bench press before watching this video. Never have tried dumbbell flies though. I always clink the dumbbells together at the to show myself I brought them in enough.
Outstanding video! You should receive an award for your superior performance. I actually tried your method and it works, and it is more effective and efficient. I remember a piece of chest equipment at a gym that placed your hands at a 45°. I noticed it was a natural grip and the results were awesome. I will use this method with my tubes/bands. Thank you.
@@Jayskiallthewayski lol dude thats almost every comment section on every social media website. Its the new norm for miserable people who are losers IRL
As the boss say... Just follow the fiber lines for a perfect mass growth. To me : Upper chest : dumbell (or cable) crossover raises Middle and lower : cable (or db) fly , dips. However bench press for overall pect must be always included
Its so complicated...thanks for this. I used to think climbing was best to build the center of the pecs, and l was right, especially negative angle of rock, pulling yourself up, holding yourself, that builds the pec. Combined with bench, flies, and cables, it builds mass and shape too.
Great video. I like the simplistic view that you don't need a ton of different exercises to build a great chest. One thing I would add is to retract the scapula on the bench prior to lift off. I started doing this last year and my bench went through the roof.
Would like to see thoughts on reverse grip bench versus incline. I’ve read a few studies that seem like the reverse grip might be more effective at stimulating the clavicular head.
If the bar is falling towards the face it’s because it’s tracking to far up the torso, let it track below the rib cage and focus in keeping the bar inline with the wrists and elbows and it should alleviate some of that bar roll. I was more curious to hear about thoughts on the efficacy of the reverse grip bench vs flat vs incline. Thanks for the input though.

@@stephenhalstead3515 when u top out at the top of the lift when its over your face at top is when it slips and falls on your face not at the bottom or mid lift da.
I don't want to lie . Weighted dips are excellent for volume . Decline bench is superb for hitting the chest as well. For me Decline is a must and I feel it does the most damage .
bro you can make this video in 30 sec only!! 1.Bench press, barbell or dumbbells 💪🏼 2. Incline bench press, barbell or dumbbells 💪🏼 3. Chest fly dumbbells 💪🏼 or cables
Really disappointing by the lack of dips and would have included them in my list personally over chest flyes. Having said that not everyone is structurally built to do them without getting hurt
Yes that's true. He may include them for triceps tho? I did them regularly as a triceps exercise.. Tho obviously I know they still did chest. However I was starting to experience some shoulder pain.
Anyone that goes to the gym know all this movement are key to chest workout. But i have to say this video is still beneficial especially to me, at least i learned one thing, which is positioning the hand at 45degree when doing bench press instead of 90degree.
Good stuff. Was forced to learn a couple of things on here during my long workout career. That DB bench gave me a better pump than flat bench. This was due a lot to the fact I have a damaged shoulder from being almost killed by a drunk driver. Also had to place my elbows in proximity to my chest the way you show here. Otherwise I just had too much shoulder pain post surgery and forever since. One of my fav you did not mention here but probably do in your series. Is DB pullovers. This is a great end of workout movement. Really stretches the chest cavity out and expands the ribs/pecs. I usually use a 100lb db for sets of 10-15. I feel so swoll at the end!! love it .
