    My shoulders hate any chest pressing movements. Swapped pressing out for bench supported cable flys for the first time last week, shoulders felt perfect and I got the best chest pump of my life. Insane.

      I had this issue for years in powerlifting always got should strains, when you bench try focusing bringing the bar down with your lats basically imagine doing a barbell row but in reverse you flair your elbows out in a arc as you lower the weight and then then flair them back in. Almost like your doing db flys but only from the elbows and your forearms just stay stationary. My bench went up dramatically and my shoulders are amazing now.

      Gotta go lighter and really focus on retracting the scapula pulling the shoulders back and down only pushing the chest up on chest day and focus on the scapular plane and developing that mind muscle connection on back day..imo this should fix the shoulder issue

    • @patrickmcgarry4644

      @@paulcervantes9502this is truth. Only when I lowered the weight and doubled the eccentric time to actually use the muscle and connect with it, did I finally start to have shoulder relief!!! So crazy but so true and now I’m back up to same weights I was pushing when I was hurting myself. Maybe a little less heavy weight bench pressing but I don’t care about lifting heavy weights at all anymore.

    • @jessebrown1400
      @jessebrown1400 Před 9 dny

      @@haydenelifrits8329 I agree, presses are phenomenal for chest but only when done strictly and keep the movement shorter so the delts and triceps aren't working so much. When you lock out I basically consider that a type of rest pause training which is not nearly as efficient for getting a pump either.

      @thomassavary5764 Před 10 dny +1

      Chest was a weak point for me too. While I could lift 250 kg at the 45° leg press, I could barely bench press 65 kg. It took me years to reach 100 kg and yet my pecs weren’t that big. Then I started do dips and then flies : my pecs exploded !
