Chest Workout For A Bigger, Stronger Chest

[Gutrat]

Looks like a pretty good chest work out! One thing though, the last exercise would be a Prone Pushup w/ Band. Supine would be lying on your back. Good stuff regardless!

[SOULJAJOE010]

this music is epic

[jojuice41]

Those band push-ups look LEGIT ! I'm boutta do those like every night noww . Lol

[TheSuperworms]

yo elliott

Do you read all the comments in your videos?

[leftyla]

What's the rest time in between each exercise? Sorry if this had been asked already. Thanks.

[lumimobb]

what music is this?

[01coyote13]

hey thanks for the workout, i just started working on my chest with mostly bench presses and dive bombers and dips and i just can't get rid of some of the fat on one side of my chest, could that be because of the way my body burns fat? or am i doing something worng?

thanks again for the tips and videos

[LordSauceness]

Good tips on this channel, glad I subbed.. I learn a tip or 2 from everyone. But basically, I like the Max OT system, which is not very far off from this. Heavy weights, 4-6 reps, 6-8 sets, 1/week. Short, sweet & very effective.

[bigpimpin6647]

whats the name of the song

[ZacPloskiFitnessFan]

not hatin either channel but twinmuscleworkout (hodge twins) say weighted dips and especially weighted dips and stretching past 90 degree is going to SNAP YOUR SHIT UP.

[unlockthepower]

Can you make a video for the exact opposite? Meaning upper back.

[shouldersakamatt]

like the look of these workouts could you do a back one as well please?



[forsakenmagic]

this is good shit man

[Voodoofreak35]

Incline Presses are underrated.

[timoxa2426]

where can i get bands? kind of like yours of different strength

[TampaFlorida813]

Yerrrrrp!

[overkillfl]

good stuff ty

[AliveDog]

yo elliot

do your shoulders ever hurt while /after doing weighted dips? I quit doing them a while back for fear of damaging my shoulder.. I usually go as far down as possible.. which is probably what caused the pain. Even when I tried to only go down to parallel it still would hurt though.

I'm 6'3 and have some really broad shoulders if that means anything.

[joe27con]

I really love how raw and ruff his gym is.

[Dexduzdiz]

this is hard still !!!!

[domhan123]

this is basically all i do for chest but also incline fly's aswell..

[scorpgul]

damn bro u r a beast

[hurbe]

you look like morpheus

[churde]

wowwwwww this is EXACTLY my chest/tricep day already only with some tricep isolation at the end,or some flies

[buddahisfatlol]

Yo elliott, I know you mostly do videos on exercises and performance training but i have a nutrition question. I was watching one of your videos about eliminating all grains and sugars. I was reading up on it online and found many websites were explaining how humans werent designed to eat grains and when we started agriculture and moved more away from hunting we became weaker,shorter,shit teeth ect. did you start the no grain/sugar diet yet? would you do a video on it? do you recommend it?

[yeeaaabuddy]

i like my muscle "chemically enhansed" ;) if you catch my drift big dawg!

[adityajuneja7]

yo elliot doesn't incline presses tighten pec minor which leads to shrug position?

and how do u crave a line down your chest without making them bigger i heard that upper chest workouts would do the tick but i am worried about getting into shrug position after tightening upper chest muscles

[strengthcamp]

@adityajuneja7 only if you allow the muscle to become tonic... i spend a lot of time stretching and working on posture to avoid that problem.

[adityajuneja7]

@strengthcamp how much time do you spend in a day per muscle group on avg??

is there anything such as too much stretching?

[Shizzlecrads]

@adityajuneja7

I don't mean to butt in or anything but try high reps of cable flys, I use these and I have good results, might work for you too. :)

[adityajuneja7]

@Shizzlecrads incline or decline?

thanks

[Shizzlecrads]

@adityajuneja7

wherever you want definition for your inner chest

[infernogamers]

thats hardcore dude!

[karlsoriano230]

yo elliott! is there a difference between 6-8 repetitions and the common 12 reps? thanks for the reply bro. by the way, nice vids you got there. had me subscribed coz of the incredible vids you have. keep it coming bro. :)

[Pinonegro92]

more workouts please :)

[wopchop99]

i could be wrong but, I always thought the type of dips you did in the video had more of an emphasis on the tri's, whereas when you are more horizontal, the emphasis is more on the chest.

[strengthcamp]

@wopchop99 yes, i recorded the first one on the V bar which hits the chest much better but the video is too dark in the back of the gym where it is.

[pearson942]

Killer sandals



[kingrotty]

Awesome vid ! KEep up the good work, these vids always inspire me to go workout!:)

[boby6]

Elliot I find chest stuff easy as fuck, but my back is lacking so bad can you do a back video like this please

[eznoob1v1]

i thought weighted dips were dangerous?

[FazeKyle]

Someone please tell me the name of this song

[ballshok]

like dr dre

[YoungFitnessAddict]

I love the new workout videos

[eli90ch]

What about chest flys? I incorporate them in every chest session (either flat or incline).

[crotchrockett004]

yo elliott

you said in a comment to someone that you choose 6-8 reps for strength

what do you recommend for size?? building muscle mainly??

[strengthcamp]

@crotchrockett004 well... 6-8 is kinda hybrid, its between strength and muscle building. most pure muscle building programs revolve around 8-12 + reps.

[MerchAllDay]

@strengthcamp Do you think it's safe to squat everyday if i'm trying to get really strong legs? Because i saw a workout program that has them squatting to a max everyday and have had huge gains.

[IAMMeBeing]

@MerchAllDay probly not - i got "injured" from squatting twice a week - hamstrings/ quads got tight / i didnt stretch enough/ over trained / an my knee cap started tracking wrong- had to do physical therapy - was annoying- just a suggestion - i was doing a high rep program and didn't stretch and it screwed me over

[crotchrockett004]

@crotchrockett004 ok cool

thanks bro

appreciate it

[kikefaris]

yo Elliott! .... i have a question for you i hope you'll answer im looking forward to join the football team at university so do you have any workout vids? and one more thing is it bad if i workout the same thing twice a day i only take a break to eat then i go back to the swimming pool for a couple of hours and then i hit the weights again is it bad? also i wanna gain strength and muscle at the same time is it possible ? i hope u'll answer since u seem to know a lot and i can use that!

[chopperjones1]

@kikefaris Go back thru the comments on this. He already said that this was the second time today he did this workout, and he said the first time he did high rep range. He also explains in his comments to other people that high rep is for muscle building while the low rep is strength, so yeah. You should be good with both.

[kikefaris]

@chopperjones1 thank you a lot !! im gonna keep doin it then!

[SaulMeyersz]

RAWR. imma get buff and huge and starting pimping hoes !!!

[SKATHAROZOUMISS]

grreat videos man!!!!!keep posting!for arms !just a question!!why you have your palms out on the push ups??is it working some other area?

[booiiboot]

YOURE A FUCKING BEAST!

[rampagetapout]

Nice video man keep these coming!!!

[helpvidz]

What is the name of the intro song?

[dreambig280]

except for the push up at the end, thats the same three excercise i use in the same order for my chest training day. Good workout plan elliott

[unlockthepower]

Ring pushups with a fly type movement have gotta be better than the band pushups.

[pimpkkk123]

elliot do a video on ectomorphs

[thetariqman]

DUDE PLEASE LIST UR SONGS in the description.

[strengthcamp]

@thetariqman that was a custom beat made by nicbalz... i mentioned his channel at the end of the video.

[danisasuperbeast]

Are those 90lb dumbbells? HOLY CRAP

[whosnexttt]

HOLY SHIT ELIOT WHY ARE YOU LOCKING OUT ON YOUR MOVEMENTS? ALL THE KIDS HERE WATCHING ARE NOW GONNA TAKE YOUR "EXAMPLES" AND DO THEM IN THE GYM THEMSELVES....NOT GOOD!

[npm619]

@whosnexttt probably because he works mainly on powerlifting rather than bodybuilding.

[strengthcamp]

@whosnexttt why?... is that bad?... its the way i train, you don't have to do it.

[whosnexttt]

@strengthcamp Locking out puts alot of pressure on your tendons/joints, elbow and knee problems is what you do not want in life. And it also allows the targeted muscle to "relax", thus the tension is gone, keeping constant tension on the muscle without putting pressure on the joints is what any lifting athelete should be mastering before having the "progressive overload" mindset. Well except a powerlifter/strongman as they just move heavy weight.

[Moeggggggggggggggggg]

damn

[batboyjhg]

Those dips are looking good. I hold the dumbbell the same way when doing wide grip pullups for back but it always fucks up my right lat. Got any advice?

[richie2411]

yep, im lovin these recent workout vids, givin me good ideas to change up my rountine, keep em comin, reli lookin fwd to some wrist/forearm workout, and ah ab routine.....thx, and keep up the good work!

[Ottesen23]

Love the vid Elliott ! But why so short rest intervals ? I do kinda the same routine as on the vid but with much much longer rest...

[sjjdiienno1]

@Ottesen23 I'm guessing to promote more size than strength.

[Ottesen23]

@sjjdiienno1 Ye, guess so.

[chaaaaaaad1]

@Ottesen23 shorter rest = more muscle growth

[Celwynar]

@Ottesen23 If I had to guess, it would be because the shorter rest periods encourages tearing the muscle fibers down a bit better(in a nutshell).

[strengthcamp]

@Ottesen23 yea, i actually took longer in between sets for this workout... closer to 2 mins. but this was my second workout for the day... earlier i did the same one with much higher reps.

[xXJeReMiAhXx99]

@Ottesen23 intensity is good bro check out branch warren

[MurryFolt]

So what is it about 6 and 8 reps that you like? I've heard different reasons for different rep and set numbers, but why do YOU choose 6-8 reps and 4 sets? Just curious.

[flame123652]

@MurryFolt because he can! bitch

[MurryFolt]

@flame123652 Not exactly much of a reason or an intelligent response.

[flame123652]

@MurryFolt that was an intelligent response, I have scored 200 on the iq test. Bitch

[MurryFolt]

@flame123652 Because I can believe that.

[strengthcamp]

@MurryFolt i've gotten good results with it. up until now most of my work for the past 4 years has been focused on strength, not muscle building. 4 sets of 6 is a common range for strength. but i still use it with these workouts

[MurryFolt]

@strengthcamp Thank you for the response. I had heard that old school bodybuilders liked 5 reps because it was good for strength and size, and 6 was right next to that.

[MurryFolt]

So what is it about 6 and 8 reps that you like? I've heard different reasons for different rep and set numbers, but why do YOU choose 6/6-8 reps and 4 sets? Just curious.

[cfcjt93]

@MurryFolt 6-8 reps is good for heavy weight which is good for muscle growth, but you don't want to over do it which is why he only does 4 sets

[MurryFolt]

@cfcjt93 Finally, a reasonable and intelligent answer.

I usually don't hear people advise 4 sets or 6 reps, so it was a little unusual for me. I hear people advise 3 sets a lot; and for reps usually 5 or 8-12 or something. Elliott's chosen numbers were just unique from everything I've seen. Though I personally like the rep range, I use it a lot.

[flame123652]

@MurryFolt there I bumped your comment, you happy?

[xxc2220xx]

lovin the series elliot, thanks

[jaynunchuck]

Why supine push up instead of pronate push up?

[xxc2220xx]

@jaynunchuck the supine push ups actually hit the upper chest quite heavily

[mm4junkie]

maybe an arms routine next? :)

[jlmknight]

very motivational as always

[EmericaXaciremE]

This is almost like my workout, but I add in Dumbbell flies to work the inner pecs.

[Workhard1994]

@EmericaXaciremE But that's just for mass, meaning it's a bodybuilding exercise.. This is for strength...

[Trampathon]

elliot do you have any forearm strength videos???

[footyfarid19]

@Trampathon you work your forearms in bicep curls, chin ups, etc. but if u realy want SPECIFIC forearm stuff do wrist curls or something. im not elliot obvs but im just saying ;) also powerballs are v.good, and eagle catchers

[Moeggggggggggggggggg]

@Trampathon I REALLY REALLY NEED THOSE

[batboyjhg]

@Trampathon Pretty sure he already said that whatever makes you hold a firm grip such as deadlifts will make your forearms stronger. Also hammer curls.

[GorgonDrageil]

@Trampathon Go to his channel here on YouTube. Right above the video screen where it says: "All Uploads Playlists", click on uploads. Type 'forearm' in the search bar. And a couple videos should come up. Heres one ---> /watch?v=u62uuiC6IV8&feature=c­hannel_video_title

[nnuuggaattii]

@Trampathon That's wat we use masterbating to train

[Trampathon]

@nnuuggaattii Ohhhh I get my GF to do it so yannnoooo :)
