Build a Bigger CHEST

[Krizzleswg]

Thanks for the advice bro :) good stuff right here!

[miamicanes09]

another great vid, thanks JR!

[CkEOdimen]

Are you a certified fitness instructor?

[ShadoWGlideR1]

really helpful thnx =)

[DRod79]

great video..i actually use to do the form wrong like I see most people in the gym doing the bench...I would flair my shoulders out way to much. It also put a number on my rotar cuff. Now i tuck my elbows more and my chest gets extremely sore. I see better devolpment..Great video!

[iheartBrittanyannb]

@radman...ur a fuckin donkey if u think this guy is not natural bro...i dont agree with everything this barthel guy says or does but I do enjoy his videos. Especially the food vids, gets me pumped 4 meal 6-8

[iheartBrittanyannb]

Widen ur hand position and u wont feel tri

[mecrobisnowheretosk8]

i really like your videos man. so helpful. but is there a major difference between Barbell and dumbell?

[RINCONization]

Man I love your come backs to all you haters!

-Great video-

[barthelfitness]

@pmk76 its a remake and has open rights to it as well, thanks for the heads up!

[jdogb1]

great video, excellent advise.  everything said was 100% accurate. A few years back I was having problems on bench, because I was doing things wrong like what Barthel pointed out that many people do, my elbow were high up and straight out, and I wasn't bringing the bar down below my chest. About a year ago I was working with a trainer and he fixed my form mistakes, and everything he taught me was 100% the same as what JR just explained.

now I am breaking through plateaus and building.

[Irishenforcer89]

What would be the best exercises for lower chest development?

[jdogb1]

@Irishenforcer89 dips and decline

[Jimboslice128]

why is your back so sweaty :o???

[SlayingMinion]

@Jimboslice128 Jay Cutler shirts come pre-soaked...

[MarkYouMadBruh]

thanks for the advice man .. i've been working out for a month and i never really felt my chest burn as much

[lukelavo06]

This helped me out quite allot mate, cheers!

[giorgios95]

bro. You ok? u look depressed...message me

[cardmastad]

yo thanks alot for this really helpful, my bench sucks

[mariobrochill]

nice sweat stain.

[mdellacorte1]

I know that this is a video focusing on chest here JR but I couldn't help but notice that your back looks freakishly wide in the mirror, keep up the great work man!

[capshockey22]

this was one of the most informative videos in awhile

[TheLifeofJoshBeezy]

@radman4561 is a queer

[tune5k]

off topic...i just got back from vacation and checked my supps like jack3d, superpump max and c4 and it looks like moisture got into it...they're clumpy and discolored a little and was wondering if this has happened to people with the concentrate PWO supps and if i should just skim the layer off the top and just shake it up and use it or get another batch. worried about effectiveness. jr?

[matklstrength]

what you're really doing it a close grip bench, which will put a lot of the weight onto the tri's as you're saying, but to stress the chest more, you do need to widen the grip, preferably so that your elbows do not go below the bench at the bottom.

[matklstrength]

if you feel shoulder pain its because you arent pinning your shoulder blades together for the bench press. also not bringing the bar down to the nipple line but more higer up nearer to the neck.

[josevanreyes]

should you hold the bar more than shoulder width apart?

[AlexPR15]

Damn, you got FAAAAAAT!

[decabolboy]

I would love to see you on some deca, test, clen, and tren ooo you would be a monster. IFBB fo sho home DAWG!!! Love your vids even though your natural :(

[Tagerted9]

think you should ship worldwide now lol

[hurrykaneecko]

realy good tips thanks!

[SuperProtectedmode]

or just do dumbell benchpress ?

[Izzetmaster]

You are SO much bigger than when I first started watching you dude. Congrats. Keep the gains coming big man.

[XowntXihqX]

how did you not cover the grip position? o.O you must have really powerful triceps by now with the way you do bench press...

[corey1million]

Try my workout JR and do a video about it please. I use to do more weigth but now where are about same 1rep max. I do 4 sets on incline, flat, decline, 2 sets of 5 with 305 on each 50 lb pounds from my max,and 2 sets of 15 on each 150lb from my max,and followed by 4 sets of 15 incline flyes. It's brutal get your friends try it too. Peace Out Bro . If your up to the challenge?

[osmosis2259]

boom!

[jimsnoskate12]

doing chest in 2 hours, what are the odds :D

[corey1million]

@jimsnoskate12 do it in 40 minutes 16 sets in all 2 half minutes per set 2minutes and 30 seconds x 16 equals 40 minutes. always start off with 5 rep range incline 2 sets , flat 2 sets, decline 2 sets , then the 15 rep range on 2 sets on each bench again for deep penatration of the muscle, followed by 4 sets of 15 incline flyes . try it yourself its agood chest workout. 

[radman4561]

You are definitly mad brah! Love it. Tablespoon of grape jelly on my wheat toast after a workout, haha. maybe make a pizza with some cheese made with low fat skim, no reason to get all but hurt its just my opinion, No more hgh prohormones gettin pinned whatever it is go do whatever the fuck you wanna do. I will watch your videos every once in a while for a good laugh. Take a journey with your boys right down to my mushroom tip.

[rjlas7]

Will getting an ear pierce make me huge? JK jr keep up the good work, love your vids!

[blade83336]

JL when r u gana do some shoulder shrugs??

[lukelavo06]

Bam - squeeze that chest!

[myselfmark]

yay jay cutler lol

[medasco143]

Jr I hella appreciate videos like this bro. I think it would be very beneficial for your followers to do a vid on a couple tips for back. I seem to have my rowing moments down but my width movements are lacking in actually recruiting all the fibers. I can never get a lat pump or even really feel like I'm working them. Help me out dude!

[NesianBoY96]

@radman4561 wtf no they dont douche.

[andrew240895]

hey JL can u do a video on how to shape the lower inner chest? i reli need some help with that specific area

[barthelfitness]

@andrew240895 you cant really isolate the "inner" chest, low body fat bur to me the biggest factor - squeezing the pecs as hards as you can through contraction really helps for a full development!

[alexanderkenniethbam]

@barthelfitness whats your height?

[JayDestiny1]

@alexanderkenniethbam He's 6'1.

[DjJivajo]

@andrew240895 You can do cable flies, cross the cables at the highest point without locking you elbows

[themacwiz22]

@andrew240895

its JR dumbs not JL

[radman4561]

always lock out only pussies don't lock out

[barthelfitness]

@radman4561 whelp, you are what you eat batman

[overclock1100]

@radman4561 your dumb dude.

[TheTheKRIT]

@radman4561 locking out takes the strain off your chest dumb fuck

[jdogb1]

@TheTheKRIT why in the hell would you want to take the strain off your chest ?

you want to lock out and sit there and rest ? WTF

Barthel is absolutely right, any PROFESSIONAL body builder will tell you that there is no reason to lock out unless you want to be a pansy and sit there and rest between reps.

also, if your form is correct, your arms should actually NOT want to lock out because of arm position.

[TheTheKRIT]

@jdogb1 are you stupid? read the comment i replied to before you comment on my shit. IM AGAINST LOCKING OUT YOUR ARMS MORON. Maybe you should learn how to read before commenting on other peoples comments.

[jdogb1]

@TheTheKRIT hey man sorry, my comment was intended for that radman guy, I must have clicked on the wrong comment. apologies.

[TheTheKRIT]

@jdogb1 oh haha, no problem man i completely agree with you by the way. Sorry for being such a douche :)

[jdogb1]

@TheTheKRIT right on, yeah Barthel seems to know his stuff. you are totally right too about it taking the strain off your chest. I'm glad that we agree ! I love doing bench, athough I need to build up a lot more, working on bulking right now.

I got back in to working out heavy a few years back, should have never stopped, so much fun and I'm really getting into the nutrition now, protein and supplements. I've learned a lot from Barthel.

[jdogb1]

@radman4561 only pussies lock out, because they want to rest at the top. also, if your form is correct, your arms should not want to lock out. listen and learn.

[radman4561]

. I really don't care for barthel he is all about making money and fitness on the side. Also I dont think he is 100% natural. there is no way he made gains the way he did, but he will never admit t it. He is a cheesy mofo born with a silver spoon in his mouth

[barthelfitness]

@radman4561 its a golden spoon actually we big rolling. I think it's awesome you dont think im natural, before I was to small, now im not natural...thanks bro tard, and of course im a cheesy MOFO.....cheese rocks, try eating pizza without it, but like ive been saying...i got tons of peanut butter bro...for your jelly....UMAD? lol gtfo

[radman4561]

@barthelfitness You are definitly mad brah! Love it. Tablespoon of grape jelly on my wheat toast after a workout, haha. maybe make a pizza with some cheese made with low fat skim, no reason to get all but hurt its just my opinion, No more hgh prohormones gettin pinned whatever it is go do whatever the fuck you wanna do.

[scoob1993]

[Thejizzmaster94]

[214theabbey]

[MrDerrick614]

[TheAverageguyfitness]

Yo u never got back to me about my order

[thiscannotbestopped]

Sweatiest back on YouTube



[cashmore30]

this year is for kai my dude

[DeaconJF1ash]

Did you find that you gained weight/muscle more efficiently after your show seeing as how you were carb depleted? Did your body soak up everything more than usual? I am 6'5" and 208 lbs. and I am looking to get up to around 240-250 by next April. Should I throw out some carbs for a few weeks and then go back into it?

[barthelfitness]

@DeaconJF1ash yes i did, I was told to train right AWAY, eat ALLOT ahaha And i grew like crazy! im the biggest strongest me yet!

[joeymike21]

WHY IS DECLINE BP A GOOD EXCIRCISE, PLEASE BE SPECIFIC

[PNUTSHUFFLEZ323]

Kai Greene Mr. Olympia 2011!!!:D

[joeymike21]

@PNUTSHUFFLEZ323 FUK HIM JAY CUTLER

[burd1234]

I never do flat bench I find it doesn't really do anything for me, Incline and declines are the only one's I do and my chest is pretty developed.

Still I enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing more, haters if you don't like the guy get of the channel and go watch something else geez you assholes are annoying.

[barthelfitness]

@burd1234 personally im an incline as well, thats my bread and butter - i also prefer dumbells!

[skittles02864]

Way to copy my video name....jeek(not srs)

[AdamBingley]

can we do drugs after next time? :)

[Gregersfitness]

The dislikes are going down but why would you dislike JR's vids, they' are actually really helpful and fun at the same time :D Keep them coming bro!

[liucas2]

ok in other word make the bar tuch your niplles so it gets more chest and maybe get you exited lol

btw nice vid/tip

[joekimusic]

talk about the difference between power lifting benching vs. bodybuilding benching.

[bodybuilder199029]

Locking out doesn't mean tension will go off your chest either. Come on JR, you're a personal trainer. You should know that. Pathetic...

[noxpainxnoxglory]

@bodybuilder199029 you do keep more pressure on your chest by not locking out.

[barthelfitness]

@bodybuilder199029 i never said it would take away tension - but it does keep more tension on the chest, and I FEEL it more - you should know that...pathetic :)

[aminex]

@bodybuilder199029

videos or it never happened.

[karma583]

Dat forms gonna make,u snap some shit up if u go heavy

[bodybuilder199029]

Haha this guy tells you all how to build a big chest when he has a terrible chest himself. Hysterical!

[DjNeGaTiV]

@bodybuilder199029, i think you are blind sir!

[barthelfitness]

@bodybuilder199029 want some peanut butter for your JELLY?

[pattyG112595]

@barthelfitness anyone who hates you should just say that peanut butter line hahaha

[radman4561]

@barthelfitness u mad brah?

[chriswww]

@barthelfitness got toast?

[mxfreak212]

@bodybuilder199029 He's got a bench then you buddy. So you should watch your mouth

[iheartbooty]

thx for the tip bro im deff goin to try this :D

[HomeGymFitness]

Great minds think alike. I do almost the same exact thing. There are a few subtle differences.

[BigMacXBL]

What do you think of a barbell press vs. dumbell press?

[Flankermatty94]

@BigMacXBL you get a better ROM on DB press which is why i prefer if can can get a good squeez at the top as you can move the dumbells more(e.g touch at top) while bench is good for piling on weight. your choice

[barthelfitness]

@BigMacXBL they should co-exist - im more of a dumbell guy...but i have been doing more barbell to mixe it up!

[orochimaruisugly]

This is solid advice man. This is what I do all the time with bench press and let me tell you that my chest gets destroyed every time and my strength increase is ridiculous.

BCAA supplements helped me, but yeah :)

[skillhunter0]

It's gonna be a good chest day tomo boysss!

[rakem5]

follow me... (gay music) lol

[csiyaoe]

Thanks a lot this will help me with my chest, now only if I could get my incline bench in perfect form.

[Rand0911]

Badass shirt, where exactly can I get it?

Checked the site, nothing.

[sebbbi91]

i pretty much agree with you on everything you said but i think that dips are the better overall mass builder and they feel a lot more natural to me.

[wmontano8]

great video JR keep it up, Oh and when are we going to find out the results on the 30 day challenge?, thanks

your boy, Will

[rikiquik]

jr, why do so many people hate on u i really dont kno, like they hate the fact ur making money doin wat u love? or living healthy and building muscle evry day? u insspire so many people everyday to change their lifestyles to a healthier one, keep up the great work and never let the haters change you

[AnusOner]

Phil Heath 2011 Mr. Olympia! I hope my boy JJackson brings it this year.

[jmasulli]

Is the code "barthelfitness" activated for jaycutlerDOTcom? :)

[CY0PS]

Ahh Man, i just did chest last year.

[sphinxman90]

If Jay Shows Up Like He Did in 2009, He Is Very Hard To Beat..

[lambo5277]

great video....i am going to use this tip tomorrow!!!

[AdamOlympia]

Who the fuck keeps disliking. I guarantee you it's the same faggots everytime.

[Justmylukc]

@AdamOlympia learn how to talk/write. That is a derogatory term towards gay people.

[AdamOlympia]

@Justmylukc Learn how to talk? Have you heard me speak? I don't think you have... how's that writing for you bitch?

[Justmylukc]

@AdamOlympia now ur blind (talk/write) and ignorant.

[stoencha7547]

i will win the Olympia

[Leermayyte]

great video yet again, keep it up!

[themathew21]

hey when are u giving away the prizes for the contest?

[xXGoldCoinXx]

Dang, i did chest like 20 minutes ago:/

[matt90813]

Excellent video man! Your explanations were very well worded, and the whole video just had really professional feel to it. Of course other than the first bit and the little part at the end. lol

[rufiorocksmysocks]

GREAT tips. Totally agree, those are what work for me too. =D

[Voodoofreak35]

Jay has won enough. The time has come for the underdog to rise up and claim the championship title.

[xAznnique]

isnt it better to lock out? cause you have a longer distance to push and when you go down its slightly longer to,

i personally always lock out until i start to get tired then i finish the rest of my reps with partial movements.

[CampbellFitness]

Great vid and right to the point. Pay dat man his money!

[MBdigitalworld]

@CampbellFitness pay for what????????ahahh

[CampbellFitness]

@MBdigitalworld Rounders quote!

[AwwYaaWakeUpYa]

@CampbellFitness is it the same for the dumbell bench press?

[CampbellFitness]

@AwwYaaWakeUpYa Is what the same?

[AwwYaaWakeUpYa]

@CampbellFitness the form. didnt know u were linked with barthel fitness:L

[CampbellFitness]

@AwwYaaWakeUpYa I'm not sure what you mean by linked with him. I'm totally confused haha.

[AwwYaaWakeUpYa]

@CampbellFitness ur name was in uploadersm comments when i commented:L neway is it the same for dumbell bench press as barbell? form

[CampbellFitness]

@AwwYaaWakeUpYa Strange, no idea why! I'd apply a lot of these same principles to DB's as well too though.

[dangelo003]

Good vid. your vids have been very good lately.

[celtics1634]

Figures I did chest yesterday

[avatarcollides2day]

@celtics1634

damn it me too

[vfbodybuilding]

Nice video JR. I agree with you, different people have different positions in which they feel their chest working more. I myself am a really bad barbell bench presser I gotta say. I prefer the Dumbbells because I can concentrate more on the chest but still experimenting with different positioning to get mine right. On the Jay Cutler note. Well Jay is amazing but I'd like Branch Warren to win this year to say the truth, love his intensity in training and he is my favorite IFFB Pro Bodybuilder

[floorfila8]

i dont hope cutler wins - phil deserves it ...

[Celonarb]

Did you get a new earring? #swag

[MarinoKats]

JR Dont you think you get a better push and feel when you do dumbell press ? just saying i tend to mix it up abit ??

[PEREZCHOOCH]

There's a guy in my gym that won Olympia 2 times and he is old now but fucking huge and ripped!

[Voodoofreak35]

@PEREZCHOOCH For real, and u don't even know his name? Dude, c'mon. Let me guess, two time Mr. O winner and still alive. It has got to be the famous Franco Columbo! Am I right?

[Uytube11]
