  • thank you! i cnat get to a gym but this will definately help!

  • @GlockDr You're welcome! I hope this is working for you. My tendency is to have skinny arms if I stop working out entirely, but these jammies definitely have helped keep the mass on when work or whatever prevents me from going to the gym.

  • Im fifteen and ima beginner what other workouts can i do with my upperbody to define my pecs/triceps??

  • y only push ups

  • y only on ur arms

  • i want to work on my inner pecs and also by the bottom of your rib cage so by the side of my cheast my ribs dont show as much, can you help me please?

  • @musiccomuk The close grip push-ups like you see in the vid will hit those inner pecs pretty good. You can also try close-grip bench presses, just be careful to start out easy because they're tough on your wrists.

    For the sides and bottom of your chest, those dips like I'm doing in the clip are also pretty good. If you have access to a dip station, I'd recommend those too. As for how many/ how much weight, the standard advice of "build gradually" applies. Good luck!

  • @musclefoundry thanks alot pal!

  • @musclefoundry thanks mate, helped alot! keep up the vids they are great

  • @musiccomuk Glad to hear it. After much talk on my part, the vids really should be coming out on a regular basis now -- stay tuned (stay subbed, lol!!!)

  • There is no such thing as inner pecs... You just have to build mass and hope your genetics serve you right.

  • @LepaTena Sorry for the late reply -- just saw this and wanted to add my .02. ... You're right, there is no separate "inner pecs" muscle group. But a person can take a bony inner chest (like I used to have) and build it up. I used to curse my chest genetics, but working hard and smart (and like you said, building mass) helped them turn out OK.

  • how many of sets and reps of the incline and bench dip push-ups should i do?

    I am also doing a 6 week programme to help me able to do 100 push-ups which consists of 4-5 sets of pushups evey othe day. But should i do these excersises after the programme or during?

  • @ToeThrow12 There's a big debate on the sets and reps question. I'm old school and tend to think "more is more." But some evidence suggests as little as one set apiece can get the job done. At the very least, do it to exhaustion -- we obviously have to push our muscles in order for them to recover stronger than before.

    As for your 100-push-up regimen, my vote is for 1 programme at a time. I don't like throwing in several variables at once, as it's hard to tell which one produced what effect.

  • hey im wondering how you get your upper chest because i just want bulk not definition

  • @STOPDRIDING For upper chest -- do anything that hits the upper pecs -- incline bench w/dumbbells or barbells, shoulder presses, those push-ups w/feet elevated. Incline cables if you have access to a gym. Avoid the common mistake of doing flat bench or decline only -- that will lead to muscular but *saggy* pecs! You want them bad boys ridin' high, like almost in your neck xD Good luck!

  • Ah, so most of the shoulder exercises are just done in the gym? I have 1 pair of dumbbells, is there anything u can recommend me to do (i dont go to gym yet)

    Thnx for replies.

  • Ah, and another thing: How many repps/setts for the exercises demonstrated in the video?

  • For the exercises in the video -- I'd say no more than 6 sets total. Of course if you're trapped in a hotel room and need to stretch it out to 30 minutes, you can do more... Reps -- as many as you can do :) as BigSamoa said, when it burns like hell you know something's happening!

  • May i ask you, which exercises did u do for getting those great shoulders? and how manny repps/sets etc, and everday lifting , or with 1 day rest?

    Thanks :)

  • @ExitiumD

    Thanks, ExitiumD -- for shoulders, I do a mix of compound strength moves (cleans, military presses, heavy dumbbell flys) and isolation moves (anything with cables, rear-delt flys, etc., with somewhat lighter weight).

    I like to train them maybe twice a week with complimentary muscle groups (either chest/back or biceps/triceps), with plenty of days rest between. P.S.If you're a beginner, just remember the importance of rest -- your muscles rebuild when they're resting, not working!

  • Thanks for the awesome workout......burns like hell haha

  • Great arms, how did you get them? Mostly by weight lifting or?

    Thnx ;)

  • Much appreciated! Mostly weight lifting, yes, and all-natural (my arms were once VERY skinny). Remember to pay attention to shoulders, too. That separation line between your delts and bi's/tri's really helps set off your arms visually.

  • Your welcome.

    What do you mean all natural? like the moves you just demonstrated + weight lifting ?

    And did u do all that lifting at a gym, or just with weights/dumbells at home? (im a starter and think about buying weights this week)

    Thnx ;)

  • All natural as in, no banned or shady substances. The most "extreme" supplement I've ever used was creatine, and only when my gains started to plateau. So don't let anyone tell you that you "NEED" this substance or that ... :-D

    Gym vs. home set doesn't really matter. Each has pros and cons. I've done both. What matters is getting started and then being consistent -- even if you don't see big results at first. It will pay off eventually if you stick to it.

    Good luck!

  • lol chicken legs syndrome lol!

  • do u work or lower body? u look awsesome . do u really not lift weights.

  • Hey thanks, I appreciate that. I ABSOLUTELY lift weights, but realize folks sometimes have to go long stretches without access to a gym, hence this vid. That said, you can get fairly diesel doing these types of mostly bodyweight movements.

  • nice arms, no homo

  • nice upper body but you need to train your legs a bit more

    nice arms!!!!!

  • Yeah, I know. I always razz dudes for "chicken legs" syndrome, but I could definitely hit mine more!

  • thanx! very helpful!

  • hey a question...do stretching ur chest make it stronger?

  • stretching any muscle makes it stronger. do alot of stretching.

  • Agreed. For chest, it's even a good idea to stretch in-between sets.

  • haha I like how he pretends like he didn't set up the camera there. All surprised, oh hi, I didn't see you there! lolololz

  • cool bed

  • IKEA!

  • LOL

  • ho0w many sets and reps should i do?

  • Depends. If you're just starting out you probably won't be able to do many sets or reps. I'm old school, so like to do three sets of everything -- a light/weightless warmup 12 or more reps, a medium set 8-10, and a heavy 6-8. ...since the ones in this vid are all light weight or no weight, I'd say do reps till you're fatigued, whenever that is. Hope that helps!
