Bench Press Pectoral Isolation

[iusermikee55]

Thats how I bench anyway, that's no secret, its proper technique!!

[gareththomasnz]

No plate loaded machine - I'm up to 380 now

[gareththomasnz]

anyway I bench 350 for 6X6 every week, thats not so bad

[twinturbo300zx]

@gareththomasnz Post a video of this or i call bullshit.

[gareththomasnz]

@twinturbo300zx Ho Ho Ho 300 lbs should be the minimum any grown man benches

But I do my benching on a machine these days as I don't have a training partner. I use all the weight on the machine and the stack another 2-3 20 kg plates on top of that.

As for making a video - OK I will but I need to buy a flip cam

cheers & keep up the hard flaming

[twinturbo300zx]

@gareththomasnz real men don't use machines. keep up the strong man boobs

[muzimuzi]

@gareththomasnz you mean the smith machine or?

[Papivanhinten]

@gareththomasnz that's the only one you do? you bench 350 burgers till they're gone or what?

[gareththomasnz]

Ok assholes - who want a hiding !!!

[twinturbo300zx]

you've been lifting for 24 years? lol look's lilke you've never lifted a weight in your life. food doesnt count as weight

[gareththomasnz]

@twinturbo300zx Its a free world man - you wanna give me shit - eat it up

Its all good

[poopface011]

hey my coach is a skinny toothpick who knows more about getting big than anyone

[flipcracka]

its kind of hard to take workout advice from someone who looks like they only do 8oz curls from the recliner in front the tv

[bomdigi1]

24 years and no progress maby you should consider steroids

[TNUCARU]

Why did you use a bear to demonstrate the movement?

[Nessesmasacre]

@TNUCARU haha i laughed soo hard at ur comment

[evaniskandar]

wat an asshole, spoiling my mood

[MattUK2007]

Excellent Video, will give this a try. Thank you.

[macrick]

[ev0218204]

[chris69006]

[gullette777]

yes i agree, with this vid

[mark871162]

the pecs or the 'pics' ? hahaha you must be from new zealand .

[noizereduction]

He's kinda fat though. Not a very fit guy... doesn't inspire a lot of trust when explaining workout techniques =D

[gareththomasnz]

So yeah I'm a hairy bastard with a little belly fat.

But I've worked out 24 years and never taken steroids.

Cheers ;-)

[GARYserious]

Oo really? doesn't look like it much pal, no offence.

[mark871162]

24 years of working out?....what gym have you been going to..... Mcdonalds ?

[gareththomasnz]

No it was the gym of "kicking your gay ass"

[sid6911]

hahaha good one bro..

[mark871162]

i agree, hes just a chubby hairy middle aged guy...maybe he should get fit first and re make this video in 6 months time.

[macrick]

maybe we should hold on to our comments & let him press 1st yah?

[mrjamest2000]

Hed probably snap you mate.

[frodo59]

The model musnt of used a towel on the bench. hes gotten a high dose of residual testosterone.... que back hair.

[gareththomasnz]

Yeah its fricken itchy too.

[morfeo4444]

[tiana123123321]

[tiana123123321]

well dis is is so truee .. ive been trying for the last 3 weeks ive been doing a half rep bench oress it starts all da way down and ends half way up dis way i felt my chest way more than using my shoulders and triceps .. well i was benching half or 70% of wat i use to ,, but i felt em more

[ConJ74bassplaya]

thanx for the help

[fredyfcf]

i had this problem. working my shoulders when i bench press instead of putting pressure on the pecs, ima try this hopefully it works

[vicariouspunishment]

Thanks, this helped me a lot.

[sugarpop09]

i want huge tities

[Madis232]

nice tip for rookies.

[gareththomasnz]

OK I'll clarify for Kkhanh2. Any exercise to make harder - you increase the weight used.

With bench most people use the shoulders. Less weight can be used this way as the shoulders are smaller and weaker than the pecs. By taking stress off the shoulders and onto the pecs we are able to lift more weight in this exercise and take the actual pecs to a higher potential. There are other exercises for strengthening the shoulders.

[Kkhanh2]

does squeezing my shoulder blades while benching make it easier or make it harder but also make me stronger at the asme time?

[angrygunsmith]

thats good, but id rahter not squeeze my traps together because i bench more for strength, i want to use triceps, shoulders and chest not just noe muscle, i keep it compound, good technique fro bbuilders though.

[gareththomasnz]

Yeah thats cool but I have found this to really increase what I can bench. Maybe thats my personal bone structure but I always thought the shoulders were weak in the bench and its best to focus on the pecs.

[truthseeker28]

aren't flys really the best exercise for the pecs?

[gareththomasnz]

I guess it depends -- lots of people prefer dumbell bench presses.

[koekoe2001]

thanks for the vid

[tyciol]

Why show the biceps?

[gareththomasnz]

No reason for that - it was allready on my graphic. I'm posting some cool anatomy pics on my site in a day or two.

[matteberly]

good video my man!. thanks

[gareththomasnz]

Thanks buddy - I thought it was a bit short but at least it reminds people what to do.
