Very solid points of the pre exhaust. It builds that signal to fire at that specific body part. I've had workouts where I wouldn't do a proper warmup (pre exhaust) and not only wouldn't my muscle connection not fire properly, but also would lead to more aches and pains with my joints.
I've always had an incredibly difficult time feeling my chest and felt really insecure about it as the relatively smallest muscle in my upper body, thank you so much for making this great video!❤
find right elbow position, dynamic positive phase, controlled eccentrics and pauses help me with mind muscle connections on chest. But it is really problematic bodypart for me too.
That was a great video thanks !
Great info
These guys are great.
Most underrated youtube channel
Good stuff boys!
thankyou, just starting working out and my uncle was saying i need to use my pecs but i didnt even know it was possible
Pre exhausting has helped me a lot. Flies are the only thing that give me clear activation; so I start with them on light weight (I like cables) then go do a traditional bench with less weight and focus only on form and control (a measly 135lb but I’m not there to prove anything so whatever). Then usually once a week I’ll go as heavy as possible on a chest press machine in hopes to just engage more than I could with free weights and get a little stronger. Chest and back has always been my weakness. Strong, long arms and legs but a weak trunk lol.
A holes . That friend with a weak chest is me🤣haha thanks for this great video
If you're already very strong from the shoulders / tricep, doing heavy flies has been great for me. Holding 2-3 seconds at the longest position ( on the bottom) to stretch the pecs has been helping a good amount as well. The sets following feels way better.
I have a doubt, should I flex during the whole movement or only during the concentric phase?

Patiently waiting for the exercise videos to resume.
I started taking creatine and I'm wondering if I should take it on my active rest days as well or stick to just resistance training days? For reference, I work full body 3 days a week. #quah
Paul M Dillon 5g everyday
In every single study I have ever read - excluding all anecdotal evidence - there is nothing bad that will come out of taking AT LEAST 5 g a day up to an extremely large amount granted you will just piss the rest of it out and you will only excel your workouts/recovery and infusing your muscles with more water is rarely ever going to be a bad thing.
Should you do pre-exhaust sets before every working set?
I believe dumbbells are much better than barbells for chest.
I put my shoulders back and BAM, I could suddenly feel my chest
What 3 A-holes disliked this video? Nothing but great info and tips. For 10 years I couldn't activate my chest, and since I've followed mind pump for the past year my chest is finally in line w the rest of my body. Was by far my weakest muscle group, but now I like to make my pecs dance just because I can. lol MIND PUMP = MOTIVATION Thanks for all you guys do!
Very simple. Flex your pecks b4 every rep. Consontrate on muscle contraction though the rep. Do not extend arm straight. You will loose connection. Stay connected. Mind muscle communication is the key. Don't have to go heavy until automatic connection. Could take a month. But remember, you're still getting work in.
Haters gonna hate. Even Jesus had haters
@@nalcon1 wdym by don’t extend arm straight?
YEAHH!
I couldn't activate my chest because I was more concerned about pressing the weight up. Now I activate/flex my pecks before I begin every rep. Works like a charm.
Love these " gurus" build like shrimps, yet giving people tips on training lol
Im sorry but why cant they say anyin in a shoet and concise manner
