    • @Ghostbloodman027
      @Ghostbloodman027 Před 5 lety +1

      why arlond was doing this exercise wide and was lowering the bar to the clavicle and up?I tried once with wide elbows and next day my shoulders were sore and not my chest,i tried your technique and worked but why arlond was doing it differently? czcams.com/video/DutO2wEtqaw/video.html -- even his butt is not on the pad ,but i tried his technique on flat flys and were great i felt the pump in my chest.

    • @edgar22452
      @edgar22452 Před 5 lety

      I noticed u put your pinky finger inside the rings on the bar a closer grip. Is that more effective in loading more weight than doing a wide grip?

    @techbrojoe Před 4 lety +5

    This video really helps. I have never been able to go low due to flaring my elbows out since I thought that is what you're supposed to do. Appreciate this video since it looks like it's more of a military press type grip or a close grip flat bench press type tuck in your elbows exercise.

  • @inhibited44
    @inhibited44 Před 6 lety

    I used to flat bench press in my 20's and got bruises on my shoulder blades doing 200 lbs. Now I am old (56 yrs) and incline bench 130 lbs without getting bruised. I noticed that it's easier climbing the stairs at work now because I think the heavy weights are giving my body some additional endurance.

  • @Veeeeeee3
    @Veeeeeee3 Před 12 lety

    Really good tutorial!! This is the proper way of benching. Far too many times I see people laying with there back flat on the bench just destroying there shoulders. It's personal preference with how much incline angle you have. I go from between 15 degrees up to 45.

  • @Az-jt2zp

    I wish I watched this yesterday as I had improper form and ended up hurting my shoulder. Live and learn. I'll try this next time.

  • @inhibited44
    @inhibited44 Před 5 lety

    I am 56 years old and do this with 130 lbs for a few sets of 12 or so reps . I find as I age, my hands don't tolerate the pressure from the bar so well, so I bought some pipe insulation and wrapped it around the handle. I wrap my hand around the insulation instead of the pipe.

    • @inhibited44
      @inhibited44 Před 5 lety

      I notice he has a seat at 90 degrees to the ramp his back rests on. Mine doesn't and I tend to slide off the seat trying to place the bar back on :)

  • @kiosimoto09
    @kiosimoto09 Před 11 lety

    I used to think that too but was told that the bottom of the repetition where you touch your chest is where you use your chest the most. Since starting to touch my chest again it has been developing much better

  • @humper2006
    @humper2006 Před 12 lety

    scott, i really use all of your advice and expertise in my lifting routine. I am part of the 'Nation' online, but I was wondering if you could show those without a subscription the way to do a proper dumbbell incline press along with its proper form. i know my best workouts are those with my chest, so I am just trying to help those out who cannot subscribe to your site. thanks man, you truly are the best!

  • @chrisj8712
    @chrisj8712 Před 12 lety

    @Cocox2 If you notice the direction of the press, flat bench you are pressing directly over the nipples, incline it is much higher, even if his body looks more flat, the press is still higher thus hitting the upper chest. Hope that makes sense/helps.

    @Njderig Před 12 lety

    @sap00017 Narrow grip bench presses hit the inner chest (along with making the triceps strong and thick). after that try doing the pec deck, but start with a light weight and add weight gradually each workout and squeeze the muscle and hold it for a second in the contracted position. This will make your chest very sore but it works.

    @brozac1011 flyes like arnold did them,look on youtube,but they put alot of stress on the shoulder joint.wide grip bench press also is very good.Thickness comes from pressing movements,width from flys
