Hey! I've got a really flat chest because I have pectus excavatum, and i've noticed that a lot of your push ups work the chest. I'd like to do that, but for bulking out the chest the most, what would you say is the best exercise?

[jlvi13]

@TooManyOnes That depends on what YOU think is the best exercise. Try out wide grip dips (search for the video on my channel), bench presses, push ups (different variations for the chest) and the dumbbell fly. Those are some of the better exercises for your chest, although I don't think it will solve your excavatum problem.

i don't have a bench, but i do have a barbell, it's of any gain to do press right on the floor? I need to gain strenght ASAP SPECIALLY IN shoulders triceps and biceps. Thanks, your videos are awesome

[jlvi13]

@raulishnikov Asap does not exist in working out. You need to take your time, because it's a slow progress. You can perform 'bench presses' on the floor, but with a barbell it might be annoying to do. I think I could make a video about that some day soon.

if I swim 5-6 times 1-2 hours / week and do this 3 times a week is it overtraining?

[jlvi13]

@10beez Not really no. If you take plenty of rest in between, eat healthy and sleep well you should be fine. I have worked out about 25 hours a week about 1 year ago and I wasn't always overtrained. 15 hours is something that you could handle if you are fit and are working out more seriously. Although big chest muscles probably aren't recommendable for swimmers in my opinion.

@jlvi13 Thanks for the help. I was also dubious about if I could ever get it to go away, but I don't think I can without surgery. Cheers anyway!

@jlvi13 I train my chest with high reps so I guess it's ok

[jlvi13]

@IA10105 You will stay the same as you are now. You won't get stronger, only get tired and won't grow in muscle mass. So it's your choice, but I obviously strongly recommend you not to do that and follow my adviced in the video.

hi @jlvi13 if i do it everyday without a restday what will happen to me?
