🔸ARM ANGLES INFLUENCE MUSCLE PROMINENCE IN THE FLAT DB BENCH PRESS - by @breitfit🔸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📝 I can’t stress enough how important it is to regularly tweak your exercises in order to keep progressing. A great way to tweak your bench press is switching from barbells to dumbbells regularly. But it doesn’t stop here. Just as vary grip width in the barbell bench press you can also adjust your dumbbell bench press by using different grips (supinated, pronated and neutral) as well as different arm angles. Even though you will always recruit all the relevant muscles that are involved in pressing, shifting arm angles (and grips) will make a difference regarding which muscle group gets more emphasis (which matters mostly in the lower position of the lift). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➕ When pressing around 70 degrees you will have a lot of emphasis on the sternocostal head of your Pectoralis Major muscle (= middle chest). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➕ When operating at an angle lower than 50 degrees emphasis shifts to the Anterior Deltoid, clavicular head of the Pectoralis Major (upper chest), and Triceps. Another benefit of this arm angle is an increased mobility of your shoulders in this position as well as less stress on these joints. This is why (dumbbell) bench pressing with smaller angles is a great way to keep pressing while having shoulder issues without increasing those issues further. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔈Regularly switching up your DB game?

🌟 Bench press checklist @bodysculptorben . 🦍The bench press is one of the most common exercises in commercial gyms. Particularly on international chest Monday for the bros out there. However it is not necessarily as simple as just plonking yourself under the bar & just moving the bar from A to B. There are a few important things that are worth thinking about and addressing with your technique. . ☑️ Your grip width will be determined by your body type & goal. Taller people generally will need a wider grip, shorter people narrower. Powerlifters will likely go wider & people looking for hypertrophy gains narrower. Regardless you need to grip the bar firmly & with authority. . ☑️ Tuck the shoulder blades back & down, which will allow you to push your chest out & protect the shoulders. . ☑️ Your lower back is likely to arch a little due to the shoulder position, that is fine, just keep your glutes in contact with the bench during the lift. Bodybuilders, don't stress! I’m not talking about a huge arch, just a small one to help maintain a neutral spine. . ☑️ Your feet should be firmly planted on the floor & you should actually focus on pushing through the ground with them during the movement. . ☑️ Wrists should be in line with the forearms, this will help reduce the likelihood of wrist pain. . ☑️ Your arms should stay roughly at a 75 degree angle, so that your scapula can successfully adduct. . ☑️ The bar should be lowered to around about nipple height or a little lower. Not higher. Somewhere between the top abdominal & nipple line is good. This will vary depending on arm length and grip width. . 👀 If you are struggling to develop your bench press then consider & address the above points, if you improve your technique then your bench press numbers will likely increase. - #benchpress #benchpressing #bencheveryday #chestday #chestdaybestday #chestworkout #chestandtris #chestpress #chestpump #chestgains #pushday #pushpull #weighttraining #strengthtraining #liftweights #weightlifting #powerlifting #bodybuilding #weighttrain #liftingweights #strengthandconditioning #fitnessaddicted #gymaddict #gymaddicted #fitnesscoach #trainingsession #workouts

Who's ready for part 2! ✌💀 Now that we have built a stable foundation for the pec to mobe from, we can begin 🅑🅛🅞🅦🅘🅝🅖 🅘🅣 🅤🅟! From a movement perspective, this form of the chest press is absolutely superior to all the rest! Step1. Isolate the shoulder. Step2. Move your humerus bone in a circular pattern towards the center of your body while extending your elbows. Step3. Stop BEFORE your hands meet. Step 4. Reverse the movement until you reach your starting point. 💥[If you already have a shoulder problem work on taking your shoulder through a full range of motion with a light weight.] This move is guaranteed to keep your chest looking spectacular and you ofd the injured list! #strotherpt #fitness #wellness #health #personaltraining #pecs #chestday #chestday #chestpress #rehab #privatetraining #newyork #lowereastside #chelsea #flatiron #newyear (at New York, New York)
