I'd rather go with free weights when doin shoulder press, and sitting up completely straight so you dont use you chest at all. Gives a better pump .

@totalhealth4life thx for your response. im not arguing with you, but i do not understand this "shocking the muscle" concept. i mean, if x=hypertophy, and incline barbell bench presses can cause x, and dumbbell flat bench can cause x, and cable crossovers can cause x, and pushups can cause x, how is one x better than another x? if broken down muscle tissue is what we are after, and flat barbell presses provide this, how is it wrong for me to only do flat barbell presses? thx for your time

chalk for when you train forearms works better imo. Gloves mess with your grip too much.

Fantastic attempt! I like your video so much.

@leftpuman yea I was just using pushups as an example. I find it amazing that you can do straight barbell presses, not varying your routine, and still not hit a plateau, let alone still see visible result and or weight being added to your workout. I applaud you man and hope for the best for you and your fitness goals.

@MrBlooCola are u using pushups just for an example? cuz i rarely do pushups. my point is why should i have to switch up my chest routine if my heavy flat bb presses worked with intensity until failure are adequately stressing my pecs? i dont think its the exercise that matters, its the stress you put on your muscles that matters. so the only changing up i need to do i.m.o. is more plates!!! and God bless u

@leftpuman I get what you're saying and you're right. But to get the absolute most of your workout, why would you do pushups every workout? Eventually... your muscles will adapt to pushups and they will become easier every time you do them (with rest of course). Growth will simply turn into maintenance because of the principle of "Shocking the body" (or what ever you call it) was not applied. To Maximize growth, it is a necessity to switch up what kinds of exercises you perform.

@MrBlooCola im not saying all those exercises are equal, my point is that i dont need to switch up my workouts to get results. my comment was based on my disagreement with the whole "shocking your muscles" theory. obviously heavy bench presses are more taxing on your muscles than pushups or flyes, and therefore more effective, i was just saying that in my opinion you dont have to shock your muscles to make them grow, hypertrophy is the only absolute necessity
-
@leftpuman By you're concept, any chest exercise can cause hypertrophy. This is false due to the fact that different exercises ( different angles and or positions ) for the same body part can result in an array of muscular growth. I'll give you an example, If I Bench for 3 sets with per say.. 10 reps with 75% of my max, could I get the same growth as if i were to do 10 pushups for 3 sets with my own bodyweight? No I would have to MODIFY the exercise with more reps or add weight to make it harder

a lot of ppl like this guy seem to be saying how important switching ur routine is, i dont feel i have the experience to say this is wrong but, dorian yates and branch warren dont agree with this, muscle adapts if u give it stress its not used to, yes changing exersises might achieve the this responce but doesn't simple progressive overload every week give the muscle stress it's not used to, if so why change the exersises unless youv'e plataued
Well done. This guy really knows his stuff. Love his vids.
