Don't do these Exercises

[siricefish]

was this a joke?

[xchrisboo]

XD

[notanfningain]

the guy in the vid has an alright build for saying he's doing so much wrong ;-)

[jeff55jeff32]

Hey man hows touching your chest going? Well now I cant even pick the bar up because I was so worried about touching my chest that I over extended my shoulders and my rotator cuff hurts now!!!

[notanfningain]

@jeff55jeff32 i do arms parralel to the floor in bench press, the chest doesnt work beyond this point, just the shoulders and back, this is why people hump their back into the air and get sore shoulders. Only touch the chest if you are a powerlifter entering events; thems the rules, I never go below parralel to the floor with my arms in bench press and have not hurt my shoulders in years and my chest has outgrown the rest of my body, hope ur shoulder mends soon

[inswinger22]

LAUGHED MY ASS OF HAHA

[danthaman7777]

ron burgundy fucked seth rogan?

[TheMysteriousSage]

lol



[buggybear77]

trying to figure out if vid is suppose to be serious with sarcastic comical tone in voice

[TxStroke23]

@buggybear77 that's exactly what it is. He's being sarcastic but at the same time you shouldn't do any of these

[Robinis]

EXTREME

[xOrion89x]

its funny cause hex bar shoulder pressing is actually not a bad idea at all xP

[emilpenkov969]

1:44 i'm 15 and i can lift this easily. xD

[yourfuturewarhero]

@emilpenkov969 cool story bro

[emilpenkov969]

@yourfuturewarhero i'm not lying. im telling the truth. The bench press he's doing is no more than 35 kg.

[yourfuturewarhero]

@emilpenkov969 I never said you were lying, I was just complimenting your story.

[2Fast4YouQL]

@emilpenkov969

at 1:44 or 0:44? But at both he sucks :D

But I am 16 and 35kg isnt very much so i trust you ;)

greetz from Germany

[sindrip1]

@2Fast4YouQL No shit sherlock? I could 1rm 35kg bench when I was 10...

[imthechamp100]

26 people iched their noses

[imthechamp100]

0:33 that guy has on crocs and and pajama pants!!!!!! he looks like a butthead

[IzUalKarbad]

That was a bit harsh for Chris to say ll that, however that moustage dude probably did that shit on purpose so I guess that's okay :) I'll give this video thumbs up!

[tonymucho]

Funney, made me giggle

[shantialampros]

I think it depends on what your trying to do. Are you trying to hit more of your tricep. Some people put a stack on their chest to target the tricep. but its just an option, and i get what you meant in the video. Even though some pro body builders like jay cutler do bench press were they dont touch their chest and theyve won Mr. Olympia multiple times. also if you dont train your rotator cuffs with very light weight that could be a reason you plateau.

[MrBigwhiteboy23]

if the bar doesnt hit your chest... thats perfectly fine. when you let the bar hit your chest your hyper extending your shoulders and damaging your rotator cuff, going 90 degrees is just as good and better on your shoulders

[FreestyleBrain]

Hey Chris, what do you think about eating nuts in between meals. I find it quit hard to eat 6 small meals a day, so I try to get my 3000 cal through that.

[velotwo1]

@tubestar, false, use less weight, touch your chest w/ bar, (down 1-2-3,up 1-2) watch a video of competitive bench press, no touch, no lift. 1/2 or partial movements=1/2 or partial strength and development. Go all the way or go home...

[w4lyfb]

pyjamas, sandals and socks at the gym, loven it lol

[Ashemarine]

"You don't do a lot of good things with your knees on the floor..."

XD Made me laugh hard.

[Kerenskyz15]

@Ashemarine

Well I think he meant for guys. Other than that, very good point sir!

[Ashemarine]

@Kerenskyz15: Guys of a certain orientation may also partake in the activity immediately suggested by the thought of an individual on their knees.

Unless this is a dismissal toward proposals of marriage :O

[DaPs166]

Only thing i've seen that your wrong saying. Bringing the bar all the way to your chest during bench is overstretching the exercise. justbring your arms to a 90 degree angle.

[F00tball65]

Your allowed to bridge your back as long as you keep your ass and shoulder blades on the bench

[TheChocomango]

Rofllllllllll

[SoulSurvivor725]

lol only 35 lbs on each side thats childs play XD

[churde]

you funny guy i kill you last

[gunscarsandgames]

lawlolololol i laughed my ass off. now i gotta go get surgery

[xcalico1]

hey i have a question.. are u not supposed to do arm curls then bench press right away? please answer!! ive been doing this

[EStewart0819]

@xcalico1 No not at all, you probably shouldnt listen to whoever told you that... chest and triceps go together back and biceps go together, as in you will work back when you are doing bicep you will work bicep when you do back... same for chest etc....

chest press and arm curls are basic semi isolated exercises that should never go together on the same day... unless your doing a full body workout which i still believe these should not be incorporated...

[xcalico1]

@EStewart0819 oh alright thanks for the info man

[MrBigwhiteboy23]

@EStewart0819 its called muscle confusion.. once you hit a platue, try to do shoulders and biceps, or back and triceps. you'll confuse your muscles and get good results. ITS ALL ABOUT MUSCLE CONFUSION!!!

[bmook019]

@MrBigwhiteboy23 Someone has been watching too many P90X commercials

[bmook019]

@MrBigwhiteboy23 It's called the conjugate system.

[BlandiBoney]

@MrBigwhiteboy23 you can't confuse your muscles.YOu can place different stimuli on them but do you think your muscles know what your doing?They understand pushing,pulling contracting and releasing. Its all about progressive overload not muscle confusion

[55cera]

@BlandiBone ok so, different stimuli/muscle confusion. we're both talking about the same shit. tamato tomato

[tsplittorff]

just watching some of these makes my back hurt....... bad form is an understatement haha

[ReitersOfTheStorm]

Awesomely awesome

[CCCPWarHammer]

lololll @ begining lol nice vid lol

[alphakristjan]

This is a really confusing video , but still really funny (Y) :D.

[TheJewelChest]

lol I agree with all of those aside from the Hammer Strength machines... If you keep your form on it...it's a great machine.

[joeldunsdon]

1:38 was brilliant. I sprayed coffee all over my keyboard!!

[BulletspongeM3]

everybody is NOT north of vag lol

[muscleman351]

HAHAHAHA, "You don't do a lot of good things with your knees on the floor"

[mrcatfacefrog]

YOU HEARD IT FROM THE MAN FOLKS-

you'r never doing anything good when your knees are on the floor.

[b0ykaa]

@mrcatfacefrog

if my girl on her knees on the floor sucking my dick she's doing a nice job !!

[Sh0wBiZz139]

LMFAO funny shit dude

[DaN12464]

whats wrong with arching your back on bench press? pretty sure theres plenty of videos on here telling to do that..

[TheKarlTomlin]

why is smith machine bad? and concentration curls? and why is the weights that add up the same not the same?

[BulletAgainstHead]

hahaha i laughed so hard

[leviterande]

how to do it then? Mster Blaster?

[leviterande]

how to do it then? Mster Blaster?

[ZorflexOL]

pinching your shoulder blades together makes touching your chest no problem. people only hurt their shoulders when they don't do this

[burning1er]

lmao. trap bar OH press. this isnt a real thing, i cant believe its happening. this is just silly. hahaha

[Davia23]

lmfao

[woody0900]

Thanks man. I know some people that do these. And I did like 1 or 2. lol. I'll let them know it isn't doing anything.

[pavy415]

Dude I had shoulders problems that I tore a pet of them Andorra can't touch chest u did not include that and say tht wow

[neoi78]

you dont do alot of good things on the floor.. hahahahah

[eximility]

hahahahaahhahahaa

[psfanboy999]

Actually if the bar isn't touching your chest, it's an invisible towel bench jeeeez.

[jayfiver]

a 25lb on one side, and two 10's and a 5lb on the other side......BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HA!!!

[Thrawn369]

Crocs are TOTALLY EXTREME

[spatbateman]

Don't do that--THAT'S Totally Silly.

[MGLxxxx]

haha look at that face, only a mother could love <3

[TutPedia]

@MGLxxxx Have you seen him now?!

[Beast0087]

why not concentration curls ?

[xNeo2Rememberx]

@Beast0087 Hes saying he did all these excercises with BAD FORM. You can do these if you properly balance the weight and use GOOD FORM. If you EVER do a 1 rep MAX, it does NOTHING for you at all and is a waste of your time.

[uglysumo]

@Beast0087 I think he was more talking about the form how he was hunched and holding his breath.

[alpha9mm]

i really prefer dumbell press to bench press

[the777brian]

oh lol u had gynecomastia when you where 20 damn i hope i don't still have that when i hit 20(currently 15)

[tubester92]

people with longer arms shouldnt touch their chest because it causes extreme streaching of the muscle fibers which under pressure can cause injury. most people with long arms put a rolled up rag on top of their chest and touch the rag and rep it out.

[TSuperChallenge]

@tubester92 That's false. I'm 6'3" with a 6'7" wingspan and I always touch my chest. Also I train several basketball players that are over 6'8" and they all touch their chest. The key is to start light, get a full range of motion and build strength from there. CK.

[JohnnyBoyCali]

@TSuperChallenge Touching your chests tears your rotator cuff. I've had plenty of doctors confirm this. Thats how I tore my rotator cuff. Most experts recommend stopping just an inch or two from your chests Thats why dumbell presses are so much safer and better for your shoulders and rotator cuff.

[poppapumpoc]

@TSuperChallenge If you are tall (I'm 6'3") and you bring the bar all the way down to your chest and bring your arms beyond 90 degrees, doesn't this engage your shoulders and take the emphasis away from your chest?

[shaboooya]

@TSuperChallenge I was looking at your comment before i looked at the person replying to and i was like wtf?

[darkwingedrussia]

@TSuperChallenge well you allready have a ripped chest so when you do the bench press till a 90° angle you automatically touch your chest , when you arent ripped and are just starting going to a 90° angle will be enough or else you can injure your shoulders really bad

[sluvington]

@TSuperChallenge yeah I'm 5'9 with a 6'2 wingspan and it is obviously harder to bench more weight but if you do as TSuperChallenge says and start light and touch your chest you will thank yourself in the long run.

[paperpro3223]

@TSuperChallenge Well I bet you have rotarcuff problems..Beacuse I used to touch my chest for about 2 years of lifting and had weird pains in my shoulder..Then I found out the other way and tried that for about a year and havent had any problems since then.

[ChibiDarksai]

@TSuperChallenge In highschool I was taught not to touch my chest, but bring the bar down till my arms were at a 90 degree bend. Eventually I plateaued on bench at about 225lb. At this point I actually started learning how to work out correctly, and started benching from scratch but touching my chest (and a few other changes)... After about a year I can now bench my old 1RM for sets of 8+ and still growing stronger. Its amazing the gains you have when you exercise properly.

[missuhlang]

@tubester92 6'2, didn't use to touch my chest, shit sucked. Now i do everytime, stronger than ever.

[jwb864]

@tubester92 ya im sorry man im only 6'1 but i got the arms of a 6'4 person and this is not true.. i accully like getting my chest "stretched"

[StuarttStewie]

@tubester92

I've never seen anyone do that. People where you live must be retarded.

[William1st]

Was that serious. or a spoof gym session?

[misztal2112]

You don't do a lot of good things with your knees on the floor.

[MegaRoflcopterpilot]

i think bringing the weight down fast and bouncing it off your chest, nearly crushing your sternum so the bounce brings it back up is worse than hips raised during bench. agree?

[TheCrookHook]

lmfaoooo man why isnt there this before u sign up to a gym goddamnit

[elephantom12]

@FutureWHC im guessing you dont get it lol, keep watching it, he's doing things that make that exercise or machine pointless to use.

[Whisper1337]

ROFLMAO

[timgsmith]

So f'ing hilarious, please make more like this

[iDPG95]

excellent video, nuff said

[Binz94]

I love these kinds of videos. So funny. CK you should make more of these.

[KOPY1981]

Hex bar shoulder lmfao

[nickbh15]

you see that guys mustauche..what a douche lol

[Samariej]

Lol you're killin me...two thumbs up!

[MrBEATZ1000]

That makes me a sad panda:[

[jabbadarth]

@MrBEATZ1000 south park ftw

[JM832]

Just LOL

[ericlightshows]

the bar dont HAVE to touch your chest as long as you get close like three inches away

[matt517472]

@ericlightshows yea mb if your a freakin powerlifter

[shatwood]

NO friends at 20 when you're THIS funny?! Your humor is one of the main reasons I watch your videos, sets you apart from other "fitness" foks.

[glufselicious]

"Look at the face only a mother could love" hahahahaha!! Laughing so hard! awesome video as always, chris! keep 'em coming!

[bayace92]

To add to CK's comment about (2*10+2*5+2*2.5)!=25, he's totally right. Because of the horizontal stretch of the weight, the bar will actually be heavier on the side with the multiple plates vs. the one 25.

[bayace92]

@bayace92 (10+2*5+2*2.5) rather.

[JO3haNsum]

y shoudnt i do straight bar curls cj?

i

[shuichiro23]

haha. Too awesome. I do do one exercise though, and that's the assisted pull up....but I don't use the entire stack! haha. I try to do the lowest weight possible after 0 weight. Is that still bad?

[SJVC247]

He looks like your brother!

[jucajuca92]

was that you doin the excercises??... btw great tips, thanks a lot, i did the bench press kinda wrong, i never touched my chest with the bar :S, but no im gonna get my act totether, thanks man!!

[killincatslive]

i really want to see someone try the hex-bar shoulder press! HAHA thats awesome Chris! glad to see you sporting the molester stache again!!!

[mkyb242]

Very funny but Smith Bench Press is very effective and importantly safe for people who train without a spotter. Also bench pressing doesn't have to touch the chest; elbows should stop at approx parallel to the floor. Any further and it can places excessive strain on the elbow joint. Funny vid though.

[loopba]

that looks like muscle confusion

[iTuLegiT]

lololol

[rajr110]

this is terrible info theres nothing wrong with a decline on a flat bench and smith machine bench its actully very effective and so is half reps bench press thier very effective at breaking plautus i dnt know why your mocking these exercises.. ive suscribed to you becasue i think you give good advise is this is just stupid people watch your videos to get good info most of your content is very good but this is riduculous

[links0311]

They should show this 24/7 in every gym in America. Hilarious.

[DigbyWeapon]

Haha. This is hilarious :)

[juegoperfecto]

LMFAOOOOO!!!... how did that goofy dude not get injured... woooowww... so stupid... is that actualy true... or you made the video to fool around Chris???...

if it's true can you tell me please where can i find more of those... i want to laugh about it so bad... xDDDD

LOL x 10000000

[borednessislife]

you don't do a lot of good things with your knees on the floor, LMAO!!

[IGnCI]

no friends and a sad face lol

[xLakis07x]

your sarcasm and comedy in ur vids make me lawl.

[JKingBeatz]

How long did it take to achieve the physique you have? and I mean from the time you first started ever training?

[GuiltySpark21]

Brilliant video CK, one of the funniest I've seen for a while

[danmasey]

GET IT CUT! :P

[E11ama]

ahaha, best video. so funny. XD My favorite is when i go to the gym and all they guys seem to like to yell how much they are benching to the guy that is right next to them as if us females really care lol.

[icdedsquids]

@E11ama wait..... you don't?

[WOMPAUNO]

Awesome video Kris

[hobbsshouldpvp]

does this guy seriously work out like this or its staged ? lol

[vlog1234567]

@2ndbeast00 thanx u rock :)

[0311sqdldr]

It should be law that all of America should have to watch all of your videos. And thank you for introducing me to Galaxy Farm.

[aaronmatthewj]

Haha, Reminds me of my time in the gym before TSC HOC. I got so fed up back then that I quit going for several years. TSC HOC is what actually got me training with weights again because I finally had a guide to how to do it right instead of just mimicking all the idiots doing it wrong in the gym and not getting any results.

[PR0G4M3RING4M3S]

lol

[sumitshukla]

lmfaoooooo

[misztal2112]

it should be mandatory for everyone to watch this video before stepping foot in the gym.

[adriaanmulder]

I have to say I'm surprised Chris lifts weights considering his outlook on nutrition. I would have thought he'd do calisthenics.

[borednessislife]

@adriaanmulder most athletes do both.. or at least should do both.

[vlog1234567]

i want to lose weight wat exercise do u recommend i do at the gym
