When you are doing a chest workout at home and using heavy weights, you either need two spotters or need to use a self-spotting methods for safety. You can use a self-spotting rig or you can use the book method.

This video is in preparartion for my advanced killer chest workout video where we will be using heavy weights so its important that you be able to do this safely.

Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn't have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

For more information on home workouts, please see my free website (no advertising either):

  • Guys, personal question here. Im about 155 pounds, and five feet, 9 inches, and I would say that I'm in pretty good shape. (Think Peter Parker from the spiderman movie). I have a good chest, it is cut and well shaped, BUT I have a concern. Everything seems good, except for my nipples. My nipples are like those of a real fat person. They're big and pink, and look in the shape of pancakes, unless the weather gets cold., they shrink. Is there any possible solution to this problem?

  • Some guys have small nipples and some have big nipples, dont worry about it there is nothing you can do about the size of them anyway. If you are talking about the shape, thats a different matter. If they are volcano shaped rather than flat, thats gyno. If you are a teen it is quite common to have gyno which will go away after 2 or 3 years by itself.

    Since you are concerned, I would definitely recommend talking to your doctor about it next time you have a physical.

  • Ha ha, guys, I dont know if you remember me, but I was the guy that asked why I keep seeing a guy eat hot cheetos everyday and yet he has a great body. Well, I finally asked him, and I think that his response was rather funny. He said "well, kinda funny of you to ask, but the truth is, this bag of chips is my only source of junkfood in a day. I also eat a chicken salad often, but im not a nazi so I cant just give up all that is tasty" Well, anyway I thought it was funny.

  • Yes, I remember. Glad you took my advice and asked him, it was as I figured. He does have really good nutrition but allows himself a small amount of junkfood each day. Some elite collegiate athletes do so much training that they literally can eat anything, take Phelps 12000 calorie diet. Not that its healthy, but they can get away with it.

  • Hey scooby1961,,i got another question but its not regaurding the chest this time it has to do with the biceps,,for some reason it seems like my biceps arent getting bigger as well,,people are saying i am getting bigger and getting muscle mass but i just dont see it...is there certain parts of the biceps you can work only,,i know that sounds like a stupid question,,but i would like to know thanks

  • If you are getting stronger each month, dont worry, the muscle mass will follow. If you are not getting stronger then its time to try some different techniques. Try different exercises. If you are doing high rep workouts, do low rep workouts or visa versa. Do drop sets if you are not doing them now or stop them if you are doing them. You get the idea

  • Alles klar lol

  • scooby, normaly i always rate your videos highly and agree with what you saying. But bench pressing on the floor ? there is no way that is working your chest probably, It must only be working 5-10% of chest.

  • Hey Scooby1961,,when you say do drop weights you mean like start heavy then each set you do drop down five pounds and so on right

  • If he is, as you say, smart and educated, then it is unlikely he believes in God...

  • Scooby, youre a very smart and educated man. Do you believe in God?
