Maturing is realizing that bench presses are a tricep excercise if you lock them out. I used to make fun of my dad for doing partials and then I never got big.
Maturing is realizing that bench presses are a tricep excercise if you lock them out. I used to make fun of my dad for doing partials and then I never got big.
I am contemplating making smith low incline partial reps my primary/opening chest lift. Normal flat bench gives me a great pump but I -ACK'd my elbow and now I have to do dumbbells, machines or the smith.
I would try it if I wasn't in a home gym. The only potential problem I can think of is if it might be a better front delt lift than chest lift. I know the barbell low incline without a lockout works, just watch Dorian Yates Blood and Guts.
By low incline I mean like 15 degrees, if you arch on that is basically becomes a flat bench in stead of a decline, if you don't then it's still not really very front delt biased.
Idiotic way to train and actually bad for your elbow. After a while of never locking out, you will be physically unable to lockout your elbow. And you will never be able to stabilize weight overhead because you trained like a moron.
Honestly I started doing incline at a 45 degree angle and arched where it takes all emphasis off of front delt and only hits upper pecs and my chest definitely gets pumps now the same way I used to do high rep pushups. I think I'm starting to get ass chesticles.
Larger range of motion and no chance of overcompensating on one side. The only downside is a lower weight limit and that doesn't even matter until you're 2plate or don't have access to <=120lb dumbbells, or if you lift for hypertrophy.
If you really lifted, you'd know this.
that wider range of motion is what gets morons injured doing dumb bell presses. to work chest out, strict movement is needed. if not abided, you'll be working out other muscle groups, such as triceps, unnecessarily. if you TRULY lifted, you know that dumbell presses yeilds diminishing returns at a certain weight, especially if you're trying to build chest. at a certain weight, it becomes more about strength, if not an elaborate show and production by fricking morons.
that's because you don't lift and you're not about this life.

I doubt that, Timmy. any veteran, such as myself, would advise against dumbell presses and would tell you to not only stick with benchpress, but use the machines. again, strict movements and less possibilities of injuries.

Give me one example, even one personal anecdote, where someone has injured themselves specifically doing dumbbell bench press. Not dumbbell flys, and not from doing something stupid like improper form. I'll wait.

Not him, but I've seen it on a webm here. Kid was setting up to bench press some dumbells and snapped his shit as soon as his back touched the bench. He must've used his legs to through the weight back and it was just too much for him. To play your advocate I am not afraid of that happening to me.

Seen the vid as well but that was just improper form when kicking back the weights. When he kicked them back and went to lie down on the bench he had his arms out wide which put a ton of strain on his elbows causing them to visit snap city. He should have kept his elbows tucked when kicking the dumbbells back then moved his arms out wide once the dumbbells were stationary.

you dont know what video he is talking about, you qre a LARPER. He also didnt provide a good example because that kid fricked up his knee because he was already injured.
You are both morons.
Can you imagine being a pseud like you without even lifting? fricking unbelievable, i hope you have a nice day so we have one less moron on this board.

i just realized he never mentioned a leg breaking.
You are a still a complete moron and dont understand why he broke his arm, he didnt break it because he was "too wide", if he was wide at all he wouldnt have broken it you fricking s o ylent fed brainlet, he broke it because he was too narrowz rotated his fricking shoulder and torwue will do physics things.
have a nice day.

It's because the kid didn't have a clue that you're supposed to start the press in the stretched position. You kick the weights up to your chest in the bottom position, then turn them around 90 degrees so they're aligned how you want them, then press. Don't kick them up to the top and try to stabilize.

If you're trying to build muscle dumbbell is superior by default. Literally by every single muscle building metric. There is no diminishing returns, do 200 on each hand for 10 reps then tell me you can't progress.
then why is his form stupid? Youre not supposed to flair your arms out like that. You might as well do the fricking bar if you're gonna have that form.
>bottlenecking my weight progression by how much I can spastically clean into position
No thanks
I'll just do barbell and follow it with light dumbbell inclines as an accessory. Making it a focus seems counterproductive.
no benefits besides it simulating a pec fly, which if i wanted to be doing i would go and do a fricking pec fly. But guess what? the pectoralis major contracts to lift the arm up when the torso is at the angle that it is in a bench press, so it doesnt fricking matter that you stretch your pec sideways because luckily thats not the only way that the pectoral muscles work, the only reason you like dumbells is because you can lift more weight with them, you didnt even fricking deny it.
have a nice day, you should honestly have a nice day.
>you miss out on stabilizing with a barbell
lmao what ar eyou lifting? 135lbs? >miss out on the stretch
i already explained how thats not a valid point.
Honestly it sounds like you've never touched a dumbbell if you don't understand how it requires more stabilizers doing it unilaterally. It also makes sure you have no imbalances.

Go ahead and divide your barbell bench by two and try dumbbell pressing that. You won't be able to.
People who workout shirtless should be gassed like the israelites at Auschwitz except for real.
Not if they're good looking.
i am maturing my wiener in your ass homosexuals
So not gassed at all?
Gassing their clothes so they don't have any lice in it?
>t. Insecure fatt
Post body
I workout shirtless in the summer out of my garage so all my fat neighbors can seethe like you.
its because they look like any other dyel if you cant see their low bodyfat. guy in op is 150lbs tops

you are a complete moron
The lock out is what squeezes your chest muscles you fat moron. Are you even aware of what stabilizers, antagonists, and agonists are?
Idiotic way to train and actually bad for your elbow. After a while of never locking out, you will be physically unable to lockout your elbow. And you will never be able to stabilize weight overhead because you trained like a moron.
>if you lock them out
Locking out is not required for triceps. Though during BP, it tends to take tension of the triceps as well.
Gym dumbbells only got to 40kg...
Mine go up to 130kg in 1kg increments
Damn bro do you gym in walmart or something
actually they go up to 150, this is the rack
That looks AI generated
Looks fake
...where are the plates and barbells for the benches?
I think it was taken when the gym was still being constructed, but it's definitely real
Also the benches look like they're rigged with C4 kek
>if you fail a rep a chain explosion is triggered blowing up every single barbell bench press in the gym
Kino gym.
For chest:
15 degree incline DB press>Weighted Dips>Smith machine Incline chest press
The guys with the biggest chests don't arch
Cambered/Duffalo Bar > Straight Bar
Keep it up, bells superiority doesn't stop at the bench press. Everything is better with bells.
Honestly I started doing incline at a 45 degree angle and arched where it takes all emphasis off of front delt and only hits upper pecs and my chest definitely gets pumps now the same way I used to do high rep pushups. I think I'm starting to get ass chesticles.
try 15-30 degrees
Dumbbell bench is superior, but not as fun.
it isn't, AT ALL. if you really lifted, you'd know this.
Larger range of motion and no chance of overcompensating on one side. The only downside is a lower weight limit and that doesn't even matter until you're 2plate or don't have access to <=120lb dumbbells, or if you lift for hypertrophy.

the guy you responded to probably can't even barbell brench 200 pounds kek
Sounds good ill do 200 monday then i will progress to 202.5 Wednesday… oh wait…
>that wider range of motion is what gets morons injured doing dumb bell presses.
Way more people get pec tears or trapped under a barbell, than similar incidents with dumbbell pressing.
25kg dumbbells? I do those for reps and I’m a tubby manlet dyel
It's a form demonstration video
then why is his form stupid? Youre not supposed to flair your arms out like that. You might as well do the fricking bar if you're gonna have that form.
Maturing is realizing that pushups > bench
barbell is manlier because you risk crushing your own neck
doing anything with 90lbs+ dumbells is annoying as frick, you need support etc
What do you mean by support?
Maturing is realizing that sucking wiener >>> getting your wiener sucked
>bottlenecking my weight progression by how much I can spastically clean into position

save your shoulders
>"why is it better?"
>"because i can cheat by bringing the dumbells close to my shoulders and lift more weight"
>completely negating all the benefits of the exercise to "lift more weight"
Your loss, not my problem.
no benefits besides it simulating a pec fly, which if i wanted to be doing i would go and do a fricking pec fly.

I lift more weight with the barbell easily. That's true almost always. You miss out on the stretch and stabilizing.
>you miss out on stabilizing with a barbell
lmao what ar eyou lifting? 135lbs?

WHATS GOING ON HERMINATION
except the dumbells at my gym only go up to 32kg
do both
