  • and why the hate on push ups? how about diamond push ups? youre gonna be hard pressed to dissuade people of the latter even if you can the former.

  • @jf1gd2 It's not that I hate pushups I just hate how people assume that they can "burn out" at the end of their workout.

  • do you feel the same about flyes?

  • @BossJ24 I do not. Yes the flyes are the same motion as the pec deck but it's not a machine so you have to stabilize the weight which changes things. Also, you can play with the angles which allows you to hit different pec fibers. I see guys talking online about how they use 80 pounds on chest flyes but their form must be awful.

  • u say that the pec deck doesnt work at all. first of all im not really training or go gym but i do have a somewhat okay physique.

    if the pec deck doesnt work what would u recomend if i was to go to the gym and do some proper pec workouts for a starter.

  • the fucks his problem with pushups

    

  • im not gonna subscribe cause my body already is like that.

  • It's an isolation exercise, ofc it wont build as much muscle as the bench.

  • I incorporate both dumbbell flyes and pec deck machine. It is good to add machine exercises to your workout. this guy is just a tool and full of himself saying," yeah im 6'6... blah blah."

  • Actually fuck the pecdec and cross overs, dumbell flys so on and so on...... Do dumbell pressess for better stretch and developement of stabilizer muscles and hit the parallel dip racks. Dips are the all to often forgotten chest excersise that unlike bench presses which cause problems with the shoulders because the flat bench isolates the scapulas from full range of motion. Fuck man ! All you weight lifting junkies should know this shit!!!

  • You failed to mention tech in the whole video. I see a lot of people even "big" guys work the pec deck and all do short motion range... You work that deck with a FULL motion range then its a different story and the weight you can do decreases and the benefit you gain increases ... Im tall and I go through a varied routine which sometimes includes the pec deck and doing it correctly isnt fast like you say... Im sorry but you are miss informing people here ... Do it right or go home!

  • @DanReborn dude that what IM SCREAMIN i fuckin hate that stupid shit.. this dudes an idiot

  • @AAHH94 you are joking right? Bitch fly's are THE excerisise to do if you wanna tear a rotator cuff! It is the WORST movement for your shoulders! it will fuck you up son! trust me

  • i dont want a body anywhere near what that guys looked like at the beginning so im not listening to this shit.. he looks terrible, the peck deck is an awesome machine for ending a work out if you dont want to fucking tear a rotator cuff and if you basically don't have the strength to continue holding weights in your hands also this is the same thing as doing cable flyes.. this video's fucking stupid

  • I agree ,dumbbell flyes work better.But if your doing rehab or play defense on football then do peck deck.Ive seen your workouts and you always work light
