    Hidden bonus: Jeff Nippard demos good technique on all top chest exercises.
    Floor press modification: you can set an incline bench to the very lowest incline, which allows you to put side bracers lined up level with your chest's full range of motion. You'll start the movement with the bar on the bracers, at bottom of the press instead of the top, which negates the downside of the floor press, while keeping the upsides.

      FLOOR PRESS MODIFICATION - do a totally different exercise that has a totally different goal.
      The point of a floor press is lockout and triceps. Focusing on the top half is a feature, not a bug. If you want more ROM just do feet up bench.

  • @shawnyoung5552
    @shawnyoung5552 Před měsícem +223

    I believe the point by Dr. Mike is spot on. I lifted for 10 years with flared elbows and had zero shoulder injuries. Since im older i thought i would adopt the more tucked elbow bench to protect shoulders. Used the bend the bar cue and lowered bar closer to my nipples and after 2 months my right shoulder had an injury. I think people should bench with whatever feels natural because everyones limb proportions and insertion points are different so everyone has a different natural motion

    • @Drunken_Hamster
      @Drunken_Hamster Před měsícem

      Yeah, that last point is the exact same thing with squatting. You can lay on your belly and kick your calf up, then try to gently splay it either in across your other leg, or out away from your body. If the ROM is higher in, you need to squat wide/duck footed. If the ROM is higher rotating out/away, then you're a narrow/feet forward squatter.

    My favourite is the Moto Floor Cable Seal Fly, soon to be invented, where you awkwardly lay down on the floor, facing down while doing a Seal stretch and then pull the cables, akin to a fly, while everyone gives you nasty looks at the gym. Allows for maximum pec stretching and because you're laying on the floor you're way more stable. You also get +2 charisma points for being innovative and different.

    This is a great video. Having started weight training at 43 a month and a half half ago I started with what I had in the house. Adjustable dumbbells, an adjustable bench, and resistance bands.
    I’ve gotten results I’m very happy with just doing flat bench press, then going to incline bench, and then going to dumbbell flies on a flat bench. Every week is a new PR. Some weeks more than others. I can see where down the road I’m going to have to go to gym because I’m going to need more variation. But so far everything I’m doing is in your A category and I’m happy with that!

    great video, althought im surprised ring pushups arent included. Big stretch, easy progression (put rings higher, a chair/box for the feet and a belt) and the movement pattern allows to put more emphasis on pecs than triceps as you start with a neutral grip and end like you would during flies.
    really cooks my pecs and the pump is insane.

    Machines are very good, that's why they are S tier, they are very secure, you can do drop sets very easy, and if you are an older guy with some injuries you can understand that. Some people criticise this concept, but when you are natural and with 20 years of training behind you, you understand that you cannot do 4 barbell exercise to total failure in a training day. That is unrealistic. So it's not that machines are way better than free weights, it's that they are safer and easier. Being away from injuries is number one to progress.

      The lying chest press machine at my gym is absolute garbage. The path of movement feels like it’s going to rip my shoulders off and bends tf out of my wrists on the way up. Incline Dumbbell press should’ve been S+

    • @seaofseeof
      @seaofseeof Před měsícem +1

      I think a good machine press is S-tier; and with some positioning you can turn some sub-par full ROM machine presses into an S-tier lenghtened partial machines. Which to me is just as good. My issue with his S-tier placement is just the increased conditionality of the placement. I feel like most machines at most gyms are B-tier at best and don't even allow for a decent lengthened partial. I would've placed them in A myself due to the increased variability of quality of the machine most gym goers have access too. Standard barbells may not reach the same absolute heights as a great chest press machine, but a standard barbell setup tends to be better than most chest press machines most people realistically have access to.

    • @beerdemus2812
      @beerdemus2812 Před měsícem +2

      Most chest press machines I've seen around have shitty movement paths and shit ROM. Maybe some obscure (and expensive) Atlantis chest press feels great, but the cookie cutter machines in most commercial gyms are definitely not superior to a dumbbell chest press. Therefore it's ridiculous to say chest press is S-tier.

    • @amorfati4927
      @amorfati4927 Před měsícem +1

      I mean… we have a “Hammer Strength” or something like that (stereotype of shit quality) lying plate loaded bench press that looks like it moves exactly like the one Jeff is using in the video. ROM is basically the same as a cambered bar bench press and it feels amazing IMO and while I’ve never had problem with my upper body it’s clearly boosted my gains. The biggest shame is when ever I go to use it there’s plates underneath the feet because no one at the gym understands how far the pecs are suppose to stretch.
      Definitely understand what people get at with some cable machines and/or plate loaded when you’re just seated… but the lying machine presses tend to be pretty good even from lack luster companies.

    00:00 💪 Chest exercises are ranked based on stretch, tension, feel, and progression potential.
    00:54 ❌ Hex press and plate press are rated low due to limited pec stretch and tension.
    01:50 🏋‍♂ Bench press is effective for chest development but may cause shoulder issues for some.
    02:32 📈 Incline bench press emphasizes upper pecs and is backed by research for overall pec growth.
    03:28 📉 Decline bench press, while effective, has limited range of motion and may not target upper pecs as effectively.
    03:43 🏋‍♂ Flat dumbbell press offers deep pec stretch and smooth resistance but may have limitations with heavy weights.
    04:54 💡 Machine chest press provides stable tension and overload potential, making it an effective chest builder.
    05:35 🤔 Dips offer a massive pec stretch but may cause shoulder issues for some lifters and aren't as smooth in feel.
    06:03 🤸‍♂ Bodyweight push-ups are decent for beginners but may require high reps for effective muscle growth.
    06:46 🔗 Seated cable pec fly offers smooth tension and stability, making it an excellent chest isolation exercise.
    10:18 🏋‍♂ Cable crossovers provide a deep pec stretch and even tension but may lack stability during the movement.

I think it's a hugely overlooked muscle in part because excercises that targets them in isolation, tend to be "boring/not interesting" for most people, yet I still see ripped guys who does bodybuilding (yourself among them), who have great serratus gains, but never seem to target them specifically in their programs.
