gna give this ago tomorrow-very different approach to what ive been doing but i like the principle behind it so why not?! good vid, more of the same please!
Simple concept & True ... But most guys just wanna look cool stacking all the 45lb plates, Going half way and calling it a day. Then they wonder why the look a a puffer fish with Boobs.
I don't get why you're saying to do isolation exercises first. Isolation exercises are easier than compound movements so I find that doing them later on in my workout is easier than saving the compound movements for last.
My routine includes flat and incline bench press,flies and flat/incline DB presses.I know this hits from most angles but I use 15kgs for the DB and 40kg for the Olympic Bar with a rep range of 10-12.
@xDontStandInTheFirex I just had a work out hence why im still in my workout clothes, I workout from home now! :P wanted to do a quick video while my cam was set up!
@pjcrens With isolation exercises especially those for the chest you risk damaging the shoulder muscles and the connecting muscle i.e. the fibres that connect the pecs to the upper arm. so you will need to build up the weight very gradually, so go heavy but not so heavy that you struggle to control the weight after a few reps. increasing rep range will increase the probability of micro tears on isolation exercises.
nice video...flyes are good exercise but they are isolation, i prefer compound movement , i have never done a single flyes for the past 1 year i do bench press , incline bench press and dips ....rarely i do decline press .....i have got a good chest ...in my opinion compound exercises like bench press or dumbbell press are most effective and enough to do those
@a68593 true altho certain areas may need work and someone might need to go through a cycle of isolation moves to progress in that muscle group i.e. the pecs
@mrblackcat501 Thank you, no i dont have time, LIFE IS SOO BUSY lol, my physique will fluctuate constantly, I will lose weight during busy periods in my life. and gain weight during less stressful times.
@Lorentz5 because if you do bench first your are weakening your chest, it makes sense to go into an exercise that has the most benefit to the target area fresh and not slightly tired cus then you can lift more weight and tear rthe muscle fibres more effectively. 12reps rather than 6-8 because 12 reps with a weight that will allow only 12 will tear fibres and protect the joints and inserting muscle, as you progress you can always up the weight,
@2112mike There is no such thing, If you do a 'pre burn' exercise your just doing an exercise unless its with light weights then it wud be considered a warm up exercise. a pre burn would just be the same as any other exercise it will have muscle building potential. its like saying doing 3 sets of lunges then 3 sets of squats that the lunges were a pre burn, do you see what im trying to say, I believe in post burn because those exercises really just utilise blood flow and remainig muscle glycogen
keep up vids, loaded with info. bit off topic but how much do drink? does it put on alot of weight? can i still drink weekly with doing weights? thanks alot if you do reply!
@timsurftim If you mean alcohol, ur body will take out extra effort to breakdown the alcohol molecules meaning it will steal energy resources from other processes such as muscle tissue repair, Alcohol can be very calorific and you might put weight on. Also I suggest keeping ur workouts light the day before the weekend if you are going to be drinking heavily over the weekend.
hey chris i got a question about bicep training, when i train my bicep .. no matter what type of bicep exercise i do for example .. hammer curl, barbel or concentration and many others, only the outside part of my bicep grows which makes it look pretty weird. Also when im done with the workout, only that part of the bicep is pumped and the next day only that part feels like its been worked. do you have any ideas ? :( i know its my genetics but its really killin my motivation when i train bicep
@Keeperz1 Biceps have two heads inner and outer/ long&short head, if the outside of your bicep is growing try doing less hammer curls a make sure ur palms r facing directly out wen curling the weight, use a preacher pad with a EZbar a grip the inner most grips, this will take the strain off ur deltoids and should emphasis the short or inner head of the bicep. if not alternate curls with DB's making sure ur arms extend completely straight at the bottom meaning ur knuckles shud point to the floor
makes sense (y), iv been doing alot more dumbbell flys and im reeeeally feling the squeeze during the exercise. my cleavage is getting emotional now xD hehee.
Old fan here, i don't know if remember , really glad that u r back to utube :), so what do u suggest about upper peck forcing ... i need to make it better, what shall i do... shall i start with incline becnh press or?
@OliverEbac If its upper chest that needs more development start with incline flies, then alternate next week so week 1 incline flies then flat bench press, week 2 flat flies then incline press.

Why is 12-15 reps recommended? When you go heavy wouldn't it be better to go for 6-8 reps?

why not start with bench then go to flies? also, we are you doing 12 reps rather than 6-8 with larger weight?

I've done this before and it definitely works. mid way through your chest workout, you can tell how effective this is by the pump you get from it.
