    As much as it sounds, this whole tension concept must be very hard to understand for 95% of gym goers.

      As with anything, learning proper execution is a skill to be learned that just takes some practice. Its the exact reason I created the Hypertrophy Execution Mastery program, to help people break bad habits that are killing their joints and gains! ;)

    Ever since i started dumbell pressing with my elbows at a strict 90 degrees instead of having my hands come in a little bit, ive had the craziest contractions ive ever felt in my life, its weird but doing that and keeping the shoulder down and back really make a huge difference. I used to bench 70 lb dumbells but now i use 50lbs and its harder than the 70s!!

  • @lestermaslow3240

    When doing dumbbell flat bench, it is better to have the hands out wider? I started practicing holding the stretch at the bottom and that makes a difference. I thought having the dumbbells out wide put more tension on the shoulders

  • @Pitbull14218
    @Pitbull14218 Před rokem

    Training chest then, wouldn’t dumbbell flys be more optimal than presses then, given distance, and tension. Because dumbbell presses are the same motion as a fly technically right? Only difference is the weight isn’t above the elbow joint, it’s way more outward.
    Do dumbbell flys would be all that’s needed?

  • @thomaspecorelli6104
    @thomaspecorelli6104 Před 6 lety +4

    His points not 100% true... His example is bench press and/or holding a 20 pound dumbbell out. If you change the angle/distance, it doesn't necessarily make it harder/easier. You also change which muscles now are taking the load and responsibility for that action. If you stack a 20 pound weight over your shoulder its different muscles being worked than holding it out. Same with the bench. He effectively showed the difference between wide grip, conventional, and close grip bench. Your shoulders, lats, and triceps all play different parts in those grips.
    It's not just about distance, that's too simplistic. If he's talking about cheating yourself with a rep just to complete it, like he showed with the pulldown or bicep curl, that makes more sense. But he kind of lost the plot with the other examples because they effectively became different exercises.

    • @parkla4098
      @parkla4098 Před 6 lety

      So true. Also cheat reps can help you in the right circumstances e.g. when you are trying to squeeze 2 more reps out of a burned out muscle. As long as you know how to cheat properly.
