  • Hey Daniel, I have your program and I'm just wondering how you would recommend incorporating upper body workouts into the program because I haven't seen you talk about upper body all that much. Thanks.

  • @jumptrainee1 Oh ok cool. Yeah my bench is at 200 right now. Ima try to get 230 by the end of the year.

  • @AndrewdWatters1 I'm not talking about purposefully extending the neck. I'm talking about letting it extend naturally. Reflexes exist to protect the body. And the traps are not in a vulnerable or dangerous position during pushups. There's no issue to be concerned about there. You might as well say it's not good to grimace while lifting either, because it puts extra tension on your cheek muscles.

  • @jumptrainee1 just because there's a reflex to extend your arms when your neck extends doesn't mean it's good form, or smart to do during pushups or a bench press. I'm glad you have more knowledge of basic anatomy than the average joe performing these exercises (i mean that sincerely) but purposefully extending the neck puts extra tension on the traps (a muscle essential for stabilizing presses) and isn't a good idea.

  • Neat way to hide that you are on your knees :)

  • how many days a week do you do this?
