[sheeviaustralia]

robert that cunt :D cheers mate ,,,

[wafflecushioned]

Everybody stop complaining about this guy's form. I'm willing to bet he's got a better body than all of you.

[StOnion]

@wafflecushioned just playing devil's advocate... better body doesn't mean someone knows more or is right all the time.

[wafflecushioned]

@StOnion It kind of does mean that. Are going to listen to some skinny guy on how to lift weights or someone who has a body like this guy?

[StOnion]

@wafflecushioned your logic is terrible mate, I don't know where to begin. The whole "Who are you going to listen to" point is dumb, a skinny person could have been a bodybuilder in the past but stopped. Way too many variables lead against it. My friend is jacked but doesn't know the first damn thing about proper form or nutrition, doesn't know what a macro nutrient is, and couldn't tell you how to do a deadlift properly. It's because I've done the research and he hasn't.

[wafflecushioned]

@StOnion I don't know man, if this guy looks the way he does, he must be doing something right. I'm not saying he's the sharpest knife in the drawer in terms of fitness and weightlifting, but he does know a few things.

[StOnion]

@wafflecushioned i know mate. not arguing that this guy in the video doesn't know anything, but I'm just trying to put across the point that being shredded = Flawless and perfect encyclopedia of knowledge on bodybuilding, nor does it mean skinny people don't know anything. This guy does give some good tips, but some pretty bad ones as well.

[TheArthuro0004]

which part of chest.??upper , middle , or lower...??plzz reply 

[Theshofumiah1]

@TheArthuro0004 LOWER chest mainly! And tricep too.

[TheArthuro0004]

@Theshofumiah1 tnx^^

[MerkabaStar]

@Theshofumiah1 lol...there's no such thing as the lower chest.  Contrary to popular belief.

[Theshofumiah1]

@MerkabaStar ok. good 4u

[OversizeOverlord]

@MerkabaStar There is no lower chest muscle the chest is mainly made up of a huge chunk of muscle fibers true, you have the sternal head which makes up most of the chest muscle, the clavicular head and the pectoralis minor which comes beneath, however you can still influence the muscle fibers of any muscle in your body, that's why you perform different exercises for each muscle or else you will be stuck with doing 1 exercise for each muscle in your body all day long. Makes sense?

[MerkabaStar]

@OversizeOverlord You can NOT work the lower by angling your arms down or work the upper by angling your arms upward. Decline bench does not work the lower part of the chest because there is no lower part. Why not do straight vertical cable crosses or military press? For the same reasons. Incline and decline are a waste of time as far as building the chest. Even electro response tests prove this.

[OversizeOverlord]

@MerkabaStar Yes which is y I said "influence" muscle fibers & not "work the lower pecs", however saying that decline is a waste of time is by all means WRONG, decline is best chest variation even a lot better than flat, decline allows u to recruit more muscle fibers which is y u can lift heavier weights on decline than flat. Another reason y power lifters ARCH their back, they r simply positioning their chest in a decline set up. Search for wat 6 times MrOlympia Dorian Yates says about decline

[dhalilama24]

@OversizeOverlord i was just about to say that haha, if you think decline is worthless watch Dorian Yates video Blood and Guts he considers it the best chest exercise he doesn't even do flat bench. Yates is one of those people where i would say he knows everything and i wouldn't argue against any of his logic

[wafflecushioned]

@MerkabaStar When people say upper body do you say there's no such thing as the upper body? No you don't. Now sit down.

[deffcon9]

This is the most useless and UNbeneficial exercise in the world. never weste time on it.

[FenderRox]

cool armpits

[truthallegory]

@Go2Teach..., I agree with your assessment on the proper way to grab the bar during decline presses. For beginners on the decline, I would always advise grabbing the bar as you've suggested. It gives an initiate more control of the weight they're starting out on. Better control leads to more confidence and quicker gains. Oh, and if you're going up in press weight, always use a spotter.

[christianaso90]

Man, i like how this guy explains all the stuff....he knows what he is talking about! it's strange to find this kind of people on youtube.

[ndiluso]

[thegamexxx1234]

this video proves anyone can become a personal trianer and you shouldn't be so quick to hire just anyone

[13andincrediblycut]

im 13 and i can decline bench press over 300lbs with solid form for reps. ;)

[XowntXihqX]

@13andincrediblycut not bad. my friend broke the world record a month ago in teen's bench press by benching 325,5kg. he's 18yo

[MrEmery2010]

exit the machine...twelve seconds later, remember, this is not a machine. MAKE UP YOUR MIND

[sibette221]

[zume2600]

@MrEmery2010 lol!

[mamgu21]

you do 2 reps ? ye well done man, in about 32 years ull see an improvement...

[MapleLeafMuscle777]

"Load the weights on the side of the barbell"

So thats where the weights go, silly me.

[taylorgang1223]

you you work out each muscle once a week or twice

[leddivog]

"sit up slow... exit the machine..." i thought that was pretty obvious -.-

[sal7t5]

actually decline press should use the shoulders less than flat or incline bench press. physios recommend decline is a good alternative to flat and especially incline bench if one has a rotator cuff injury.

[Jmangan412]

I think this was a video showing how to hyper extend ur elbow and improperly decline

[bastrop78418]

[Go2Teach]

FYI if you continue to do decline presses in the manner that you showing, in 2o years, your shoulder is going to be ruined. Take a shoulder width grip and tuck your elbows in, that takes the burden off the shoulders and works the chest more efficiently. I know some people may think this would bring in the triceps more, but you will find the stress on the triceps to be negligible compared to the stress that the anterior delts take when you do decline presses like this young man is demonstrating.

[transtasmannetball]

does the bar have to be in line with your nipple?

[Go2Teach]

If you tuck in your elbows, you will find that you have to bring the bar to your lower chest. So, the nipple area is fine.

[SaiyanLink88]

@Go2Teach, Im sorry. I must be too inexperienced or stupid, but I can't see anything wrong with how he did that. Not saying he's a master personal trainer, I could never judge that from this one example, but that just seems like an insignificant tweak to his form. I feel like in 20 years of benching that way he's not going to get any shoulder problems as a result. But hey, I probably just don't know what I'm talking about. Who knows.

[ComandKat]

Bench press... HA :-D for woman maybe

[poloyeayea]

YEA YEA!!!
