@Duraku9 - I think you can use a mattress if you have nothing else but I feel you will not get the full movement because the elbows will not go slighly lower then the body as you bring the weights down to level with the top of the chest. Baz
@isisrufus - if you want to build a muscle I really do not think you should train it more than 2 times a week with at least 48 hours rest between each time you train them. Baz
@SMARTBOY951 - I suppose everyone has a right to say what they believe. I have enough really fantastic support not to worry what others might think or say. Baz
@0arfarf0 - provided you eat right and train hard you will see some results in about 3/4 months. There are no short cuts to building muscles. The get muscles quick schemes are a load of rubbish there is no such thing. Baz
I'm only 15 and i heard that if i do exercise at this age i can stop growing taller and can make damage etc , is that true ? i won't mind stop getting taller as i'm already really tall but my friend never exercised because hes afraid he wont get taller
Thanks a lot for the guides , they really help , I can see change in every session i do now.
@J0os3ph - up to the age of about 16 the bone ends are often still soft so heavy weights can do some damage. Some people take a chance and do not have a problem. I would never take a chance on that. It does not mean you cannot train. just train very light with lots of reps. Then at about 16 go for it and you will have already built a fantstic foundation. If you think about it from 16 you could train for the next 50 years. that is an awful long time so why rush. Baz
Baz i have a muscle failure like when im doing push ups even 1 rep on my arm (left) can i cure it its kinda like the muscle dont want to coperate when im doing push ups if i do other exercise with out push ups can i still get nice results
@Iknowsyou1 - It sounds like the muscle is weak. Do the push ups with your knees on the ground. It is a lot easier and as you get stronger then start to do normal push ups. Baz
@timbrandon94 - you can see a nice difference in about 120 days. It will depend on a few things though. How well you eat, how hard you train and your genetic make up. Some people will build quicker than others. Baz
@p45RiCK - I think it is great and yes it certainly does give you more energy and a bit more power to lift. The creatine will not build the muscle you will have to do a lot of hard training for that to happen but the creatine does help. Baz
sorry, i was watching a video on youtube, and one tip the fitness person said is when you do flies make sure you dont change the shape of your arms, so keep that v shape steady so you work more on the chest and less on the arms, also another question is it good if i pop my chest up when i do flies? or any bench workout?
@sk1ller11 - there are lots of different ideas on how to do flys and other exercises. I have even heard that straight arms work well. You need to work it out for yourself. I think you should not arch your back when training chest but if you find getting your shoulder blades as close together so you push your chest out works the best for you then do it. Baz
@xshjim - I like 2 times a week say a Monday and then a Thursday. Lots of people like to just do it once. I think it is up to you. You should not do it more than 2 times a week as you will not have enough time to rest before you train again. Baz
I would just like to say Baz, watching this video which was made in 2008 makes you look a lot thinner and you looked older than you do now! great job =]
@t1nyt0m098 - Yes that is when I had not been training for that long. I think the fitter you get the better you will look. I think that is how it has worked for me. Baz
hey baz.. sup.. hmm well wat do u think bout doin this flat? o.o not inclined or declined .. cuz i dun have somethin to bent in ma home.. XD hmm and will it help me losin fat around ma pecs? o.o ty bye
@MontylsHere - Yes flat is quite fine my friend. To lose the fat you will have to cut back on the food you eat and do some aerobics. There is a video on fat loss and one on nutrition. Have a look at them and get some ideas and you will build a good looking chest. Baz
@yihsheen - One of the ways is to use a straight bar and do some normal bench presses. When you get to the top of the reps squeeze the bar with your hands so they cannot slide and then you try to slide the hands toward each other. You will automatically be then squeezing the and causing the chest to flex. I hope that makes sense. Once you know how it feels to flex you will be able to do it with flys. Baz
Also if incline roundens the chest, what does decline do for the chest?
And I like to keep my elbows bent at the top of the flyes so that the pressure remains on my chest (which is what you told me to do in one of your other videos hehe), so how do I "squeeze" my chest if the elbows are bent. I tried to squeeze today and it just didn't feel right.
@Tautologically - Decline work the bottom of the chest. Your elbow must not be too bent. Only a slight bend. The squeeze or flex is at the top of the movement. You have to literally cause it. You can do it but it takes a lot of concentration. Baz
Hey Baz if I'm doing an exercise and I'm struggling to finish the reps, (say on the last set) should I persist or go down to a lower weight? Because last week I wasn't really doing that well with flyes, but this week after benching a much higher weight (barbell bench press), I did flyes with the same amount of weight and it felt relatively easy. Thanks
@Tautologically - it is good to battle on the last set but only for the last 3/4 reps. Not the whole set or you might be a bit too heavy. To build you have to push yourself but not if the form goes out the window. Baz
If I don't have a bench that can be declined, is there any other activity you can think of that I can do to train the lower portion of my pecs? I only have a bench press set and a pair of dumbbells. I read somewhere that you can do push ups with your feet elevated and that's what I'm doing now.
@Tautologically - The push ups sounds like a really good idea. I would actully put the bottom of my bench on bricks so I make it declined. (Safely) You will need a bit of a support for your feet aswell. That would work well. Baz
@allnightgibbons112 - No I go to where I feel is comfortable. I would never force myself to go low. We all have different flexability in our shoulders so work to what is comfortable. The shoulder can rotate and I think too much is made about shoulder damage by people who have abused their body and now almost do not want to lift their arms above their head in case the do damage. Baz
@kenaniah356- you need to focus on the basics. Do normal flat bench presses for your chest and some shoulder presses for your shoulders. You need to eat right and try to do some quite heavy weights with lower reps so you can get the muscles to grow. Have a look at my site w's buildingmuscles org uk and get some more ideas. If you need more help let me know. Baz
It is a combination bench. You can do incline and flat exercises on it. It also has an attachments that allowes me to do lat pull downs, tricep push downs, preacher curls and leg extensions. Baz
well baz ~ u did explained the differences between incline flys n decline flys ... but why did some of the ppl in the gym lying down flat on the benches doin flys ? wat does that work on ?
You can but you will not be getting the full movement you need. It will be better then doing nothing. Why not get a gym ball they are very cheap and work really well as a bench. Baz
how can you variate incline/decline with push ups, Just put your hips higher then your chest exactly the same as with the dumbells. Because I want to train the lower chest muscles. By the way you got great vids.
well baz,im 16 years old and i have bein doing weights since about september time. currently im focousing on upper body workout doing 3 sets each of flys and press with reps of 15 using two dumbells of 10kg each is that enough work and resistance to create muscle mass?? oh ya when doing the exercise i make sure to go at a slow pace up and down does that have a positive effect?? and i was just wondering how long does it take to see muscle growth?? thanks very much!!!
You have the right idea. You will have to do more if you want to build. You need to use as heavy as you can handle to build. You will want to do around 8 reps of max weight and do about 4 to 5 sets for each muscle. Food is really important when training. If you eat right you will have half the battle won. You should see a good difference in about 3 to 4 months. Baz
I would stick to flat most of the time and now and again do incline. Once you have built some sizable muscle then you can start doing incline and decline a lot more. Get a good base first. Baz
Baz, I'm doing the inclined flys you demonstrated for quite some time, I see my chest "popping out" a bit, but I just don't see the ripped line in the middle of chest. I wonder if you can tell me why.
Also, does the "butterfly" exercise give same result as doing the inclined flys?
That is great you are getting some results. The butterfly and flys are quite similar. I used to do them both when I attended a gym. Now I do not have a machine for that so just do flys which is fine. You can try doing narrow grip bench press and even though that mainly works the triceps try to focus on the chest doing the lift. It does help. There is also a video on chest I did where I showed a twist exercise in front of you and that certainly does help a bit. It will not build but helps. Baz
Probably with a lot of difficulty. You really cannot train proper if you do not have 2 dumbbells. Try to get another one and then you will be able to do the chest better. Baz
im a kid and i dont want big muscels... I want flat chest and stomach and some muscels on the arms... NO big muscels... i would really appreciate if someone could help me out... i also wanna train away love handels and manboobies :D
You need to eat right first so have a look at the nutrition video on bazblog and you will change that. Then you need to do a lot of press ups to get what you want with chest and arms. Baz.
You can if you put something under the back end of your bench and raise it up. If not then you will have to settle for normal flat bench flys which are also very good for an overall chest workout. Baz
Baz, I really wasn't to start working my chest muscles but unfortunately right now, I don't have a bench I'm waiting till I get some extra money. so in the mean time what do you recommend?
Get yourself a gym ball they are like very cheap and use that as a bench till you can afford a proper bench. Theat is great for the core too as you will have to learn to balance. Baz
Ive been doing the inclined flys and presses at about a 45 degree angle and it really works my shoulders all around so if i move the bench down a notch will it target my upper chest more?
does the excercise help to make the chest thicker and stand out more, or does it just shape the width of the chest? And what is the difference in the benefits of the dumbbell flat press and dumbbell flat fly?
It is just 2 different angles you are training the chest. They both will add depth and width to the chest. The press will tend to work more toward the middle of the chest and the fly I find works the outer edge of the chest. Baz
when I'm doing the dumbell flat press, I dont feel any strain and no burning sensation in my chest, just my upper arm areas. Is this normal? Is my chest being worked out but I cant feel it as much as for ex: hammer curls on my bicepts?
Thanks for the comment. You need to train the same muscle not more than 2 times a week. Have a min of 48 hours rest between training it. You need to eat 6 times a day and as you are thin have a fist size of protein and 2 fist sizes of carbs per meal. There is a nutrition video on bazblog that explains. Baz
Hello Baz. I have just started to lift weights a cuple of weeks ago and i have done many of your exercises, you are a really good teacher. I have a question. Im about 5,9 and weight 130 pounds. wery skinny. How many times sould i train and eat to gain more muscle?
omg thank you i flex my chest all the time i notice the bottom of my chest looks pretty good but top it looks flat now i no the problem i gotta be more incline now i just need a incline bench thanks!
Push up works over all chest and if you rasie you feet highter then your chest you will work mor the upper part which is great. Flys can be flat overall chest or inclined for upper. Baz
Yes try that with your feet on the couch. Try going wider with the arms when you do the press ups. As your triceps and shoulders get stronger you will feel the chest work more and more. Baz
hey baz i am 16 and weigh about 140 pounds is good for me to start workingout without screwing up my growth. P.S. great videos i am starting with the right nutrition now
Yes you can start training now. Just do not rush to go very heavy. Take your time build a good foundation with fairly light weights getting the movement right and then push harder and harder. Baz
hello baz i really appreciate your teaching i have one question . im 13 and i do dumbell exs i do 100 on both hands every day is that good ? plz msg me thank you xiodkev :)
I think you need to do very light and do around 4 sets of 20. 2 times a week. Rather train with your own body weight till your bones have developed properly around 17 . Baz
I train every muscle the same. 1 Minute rest between sets.
12 - 16 reps very light warm - up 12 reps heavier
10 reps heavier
8 reps heavier
6 reps heavier. I struggle to lift from 3 rep
12 reps reduce weight to weight of 8 reps. (I battle from 7-8 reps) Go straight on to a superset of 12 reps (no rest) with another exercise for the same muscle. EG. Chest - main exercise; bench press superset; incline fly's.
I then have a 2 minute rest and go on to another muscle.
What you might have to do is to train for a while doing decline bench presses. That means on the bench your hips are higher than you head and shoulders. That works the lower part of the chest. Baz
You need to lock your arms in a slighly bent position and then feel the chest (Pecs) do the lifting. It does take quite a bit of concentration. That is why I often squeeze the pec before I start so I am aware of the muscle that is going to do the work. Try going lighter and do a lot more reps so you feel the chest work. That way u learn what that feels like. Baz
I am not sure what you mean by XD. I find that dumbbells is great for chest and loads of other muscles to. That is because you have a more free movement so you can be a bit more comfortable with lifting. You should not lift any weight in an uncomfortable position. Baz
Sir, what is the weight of a dumbbell would you suggest for a beginner? By the way, XD is another emoticon used in the Internet, laughing with eyes closed.
Thanks for the comment and the explanation of XD. I learn something new every day. No one can determine what weight someone else should be using. You have to work that out for yourself. You should be able to do 12 reps easily and could go on and do 20 with out too much trouble. That would be a great warm up weight and you work from there. Baz
is it possible to lay on a matress?, anyway thx alot

You can but you will not be getting the full movement you need. It will be better then doing nothing. Why not get a gym ball they are very cheap and work really well as a bench. Baz

how can you variate incline/decline with push ups, Just put your hips higher then your chest exactly the same as with the dumbells. Because I want to train the lower chest muscles. By the way you got great vids.

Yes altering the leg postion will work different parts of the chest. Thanks very much for the idea you have sent and for the compliment. Baz.

well baz,im 16 years old and i have bein doing weights since about september time. currently im focousing on upper body workout doing 3 sets each of flys and press with reps of 15 using two dumbells of 10kg each is that enough work and resistance to create muscle mass?? oh ya when doing the exercise i make sure to go at a slow pace up and down does that have a positive effect?? and i was just wondering how long does it take to see muscle growth?? thanks very much!!!

You have the right idea. You will have to do more if you want to build. You need to use as heavy as you can handle to build. You will want to do around 8 reps of max weight and do about 4 to 5 sets for each muscle. Food is really important when training. If you eat right you will have half the battle won. You should see a good difference in about 3 to 4 months. Baz

what do i do first, incline or decline dumble fly??
ArjayTorres101 2 years ago
I would stick to flat most of the time and now and again do incline. Once you have built some sizable muscle then you can start doing incline and decline a lot more. Get a good base first. Baz

Baz, I'm doing the inclined flys you demonstrated for quite some time, I see my chest "popping out" a bit, but I just don't see the ripped line in the middle of chest. I wonder if you can tell me why.
Also, does the "butterfly" exercise give same result as doing the inclined flys?
Hope to see your reply.
tJyNchoo 2 years ago
That is great you are getting some results. The butterfly and flys are quite similar. I used to do them both when I attended a gym. Now I do not have a machine for that so just do flys which is fine. You can try doing narrow grip bench press and even though that mainly works the triceps try to focus on the chest doing the lift. It does help. There is also a video on chest I did where I showed a twist exercise in front of you and that certainly does help a bit. It will not build but helps. Baz

when doing dips does that work your chest on the upper part as well as the lower part?
eiroight 2 years ago
Dips mainly works the triceps. It will do a bit for the outer part of the chest but not much. Fly' are what is great for the chest . Baz

How do I train it with 1 dumb bell?
darkblazer111 2 years ago
Probably with a lot of difficulty. You really cannot train proper if you do not have 2 dumbbells. Try to get another one and then you will be able to do the chest better. Baz

You need to eat right first so have a look at the nutrition video on bazblog and you will change that. Then you need to do a lot of press ups to get what you want with chest and arms. Baz.

i do not have an incline flys so what should i use instead?
MTVasiaROCKS 2 years ago
You can if you put something under the back end of your bench and raise it up. If not then you will have to settle for normal flat bench flys which are also very good for an overall chest workout. Baz
BazBlog 2 years ago
Baz, I really wasn't to start working my chest muscles but unfortunately right now, I don't have a bench I'm waiting till I get some extra money. so in the mean time what do you recommend?
copo4277 2 years ago
Get yourself a gym ball they are like very cheap and use that as a bench till you can afford a proper bench. Theat is great for the core too as you will have to learn to balance. Baz

Ive been doing the inclined flys and presses at about a 45 degree angle and it really works my shoulders all around so if i move the bench down a notch will it target my upper chest more?
elguapo712 2 years ago
Yes the higher you go the more you will work shoulders. I would drop down a few notches. That will definitely work the chest more. Baz
BazBlog 2 years ago
does the excercise help to make the chest thicker and stand out more, or does it just shape the width of the chest? And what is the difference in the benefits of the dumbbell flat press and dumbbell flat fly?
GreatestRockyFan 2 years ago
It is just 2 different angles you are training the chest. They both will add depth and width to the chest. The press will tend to work more toward the middle of the chest and the fly I find works the outer edge of the chest. Baz
BazBlog 2 years ago
when I'm doing the dumbell flat press, I dont feel any strain and no burning sensation in my chest, just my upper arm areas. Is this normal? Is my chest being worked out but I cant feel it as much as for ex: hammer curls on my bicepts?
GreatestRockyFan 2 years ago
Yes it is good be careful with the shoulders that you do not put too much strain on them so dont go too low which is easy to do. Baz
BazBlog 2 years ago
Thanks for the comment. You need to train the same muscle not more than 2 times a week. Have a min of 48 hours rest between training it. You need to eat 6 times a day and as you are thin have a fist size of protein and 2 fist sizes of carbs per meal. There is a nutrition video on bazblog that explains. Baz

omg thank you i flex my chest all the time i notice the bottom of my chest looks pretty good but top it looks flat now i no the problem i gotta be more incline now i just need a incline bench thanks!
robisgangsta1 2 years ago
That is right an incline bench is what you need to round off the chest. Baz
BazBlog 2 years ago
if i i just do pushups and dumbell flys and dumbbell press well it be rounded off like will pushups work upper chest or just lower?
robisgangsta1 2 years ago
Push up works over all chest and if you rasie you feet highter then your chest you will work mor the upper part which is great. Flys can be flat overall chest or inclined for upper. Baz
BazBlog 2 years ago
shud i put my feet on a coach then? and whenever i do pushups i feel burn in my shoulder and triceps never chest
robisgangsta1 2 years ago
Yes try that with your feet on the couch. Try going wider with the arms when you do the press ups. As your triceps and shoulders get stronger you will feel the chest work more and more. Baz

Yes you can start training now. Just do not rush to go very heavy. Take your time build a good foundation with fairly light weights getting the movement right and then push harder and harder. Baz

I think you need to do very light and do around 4 sets of 20. 2 times a week. Rather train with your own body weight till your bones have developed properly around 17 . Baz

great video, but how many reps and sets would you say?
Jahmess123 2 years ago
I train every muscle the same. 1 Minute rest between sets.
12 - 16 reps very light warm - up 12 reps heavier
10 reps heavier
8 reps heavier
6 reps heavier. I struggle to lift from 3 rep
12 reps reduce weight to weight of 8 reps. (I battle from 7-8 reps) Go straight on to a superset of 12 reps (no rest) with another exercise for the same muscle. EG. Chest - main exercise; bench press superset; incline fly's.
I then have a 2 minute rest and go on to another muscle.
Cheers Baz

Sir, i have a big chest but the muscle is focused on the upper side of the chest, how can i train the lower side of the chest?
kitty515151 2 years ago
What you might have to do is to train for a while doing decline bench presses. That means on the bench your hips are higher than you head and shoulders. That works the lower part of the chest. Baz

i have a problem. i try doing this and i can only feel it in my biceps; nothing whatsoever in my chest. what am i doing wrong?
WTF00912 2 years ago
You need to lock your arms in a slighly bent position and then feel the chest (Pecs) do the lifting. It does take quite a bit of concentration. That is why I often squeeze the pec before I start so I am aware of the muscle that is going to do the work. Try going lighter and do a lot more reps so you feel the chest work. That way u learn what that feels like. Baz

dumb bells is best train for chest ??? but is so hard to do XD
011145828 2 years ago
I am not sure what you mean by XD. I find that dumbbells is great for chest and loads of other muscles to. That is because you have a more free movement so you can be a bit more comfortable with lifting. You should not lift any weight in an uncomfortable position. Baz
BazBlog 2 years ago
Sir, what is the weight of a dumbbell would you suggest for a beginner? By the way, XD is another emoticon used in the Internet, laughing with eyes closed.
tJyNchoo 2 years ago
Thanks for the comment and the explanation of XD. I learn something new every day. No one can determine what weight someone else should be using. You have to work that out for yourself. You should be able to do 12 reps easily and could go on and do 20 with out too much trouble. That would be a great warm up weight and you work from there. Baz
