My chest sucks, but it sucks less now than it did months ago. Biggest change was switching primarily to dumbell benching.

do inclines
Good progress. Might not feel like but you've made massive improvements. Keep going.
Thanks bro, being a chestlet sucks
> X sucks
I open the thread
Perfectly acceptable
have a nice day.
Barbell flat bench is a complete meme, dumbbells are the way forward
You're just bad at it.
>You're just bad at it.
Lifting with hexbells is harder dipshit. Dare you to take your max barbell bench and try it with free weights. Watch your fricking arms shake like a chihuahua in a cold breeze.
>Dare you to take your max barbell bench and try it with free weights
Wasn't this precisely the reason why barbell bench was considered superior? Because it allows you to lift far heavier weights?
I remember reading it years ago. Has the broscience changed?
(I do 6x8 barbell bench and 4x10 dumbbell bench on my chest days, both incline. Just to be safe, I do both.)
Load really doesn't mean that much when it doesn't target the miscke your trying to train.
But I thought pressing a weight off your chest with your shoulder blades retracted INEVITABLY recruited your pecs.
If not, what muscles are moving the barbell? Can't be the delts, they're not strong enough.
It's not one or the other, though I understand what you're trying to get at.
You know it's the pecs, delts and triceps.
Some people have a hard time targeting the muscles they want because their mind muscle connections are not strong enough yet. Dumbbell presses cab help achieve that. Cheers
You've convinced me. I'm gonna switch to only DB presses for a few weeks and see if I notice a difference.
He ego lifted, he let the dumbbells get too far away from his body, and then instead of dropping them when he lost control, he tried to wrestle them into position. 3 mistakes.
Poor bastard

>barbell bench and try it with free weights
barbells are free weights
>barbells are free weights
Wtf I have to pay a monthly fee to use it
No, using the weights is free. You pay to be able to breathe in masculine ballsweat air.
You asked for it.
That ALMOST happened to me kek
Now I lay down carefully
He began the bench mid air, you gotta keep the DBs close to your chest and then begin.
what the hell just happened there
soon you will also realise doing squats with a barbell are not optimal
then you will learn that deadlifts are fricking useless and are just an entire ego lift
after that you realise your shoulders grow bigger after you swap the barbell for dumbbells
and then finally, you realise the barbell is a meme
Digits of truth. Barbell training is massivly overrated for the general populace.
exactly. barbell training is only for powershitters and weightlifters, for the general population hitting the gym and those who lift for aesthetics/to look better should just use dumbells and machines instead
I agree with everything except machines. They're worse than barbells and should only be used by the weakest beginners. Build up a good base with machines then just switch to free weights. The only good machine lift is the lat pull.
Sounds like you’re a homosexual, machines allow you to really push for that last rep without hurting yourself. They’re superior in safety so you can truly go to failure, can’t do it with free weights. Yeah, you could get a “spotter” but I’m not gonna count on somebody else for my safety.
>being this scared of a fricking stick
based moron
>durr you're homophobic? must be scared of gays!
>what's that? you don't want to get the vaccine? grown man scared of a needle?
have a nice day
Dubs of truth and it's not just for aesthetics. Your practical strength will be much better because you're hitting all the stabalizing muscles.
>soon you will also realise doing squats with a barbell are not optimal
Nah man
>posting your gyno on an anime board, thinking this somehow proves your point
lmao
Not only do I not have gyno, the point was that barbell squatting is more efficacious than dumbell squatting for anyone who's been lifting for more than like 3 months, moron. The only thing that compare to it is hack squats; goblets, step ups, and bss are not going to cut it. Post legs.
I agree, but BB hip thrusts are amazing for butt gains
Looks great by normie standards. Keep up the good work.
Its good,just not great,keep lifting,making it
>Dumbell benching
Why not both?
Dumbbell flys, chest press, anything that beings your hands/elvows closer together.
Barbell benching will not do much in terms of size.
>Biggest change was switching primarily to dumbell benching.
Yep.
That's a good improvement my dude, what's your lifts. I've recently taken the dumbell pill as well. You can really feel the difference right away.
>dumbbell benching
counting down until you injure your wrists
I use a neutral grip because it's more comfortable; why would db benching be any worst for your wrists than bb?
how did you get those belly button gains though
