Great exercise when you have problems with your shoulder and using the bench isn't much of an option. I don't rock my body back and I'll try it but something not covered is the direction that you push your arm forward. I struggled for a while where my arm was too high or too low. What I did was extend my arm, contract my chest and slowly move my arm up or down to feel the contraction in my chest exactly where I want it to be. Even though I'm simulating an incline, decline, or flat bench, cables give you such a variety that I had to do this just to hit exactly where I want to on my chest

The different heights also accentuate development of another muscle: the serratus anterior, broken into three (more or less) segments. The muscle has ten fingers. Working the lower pec, starting higher, also stimulates the pec minor, as both upper serratus and pec minor pull the scap forward and down from different attachment points.

Oh my, .I always have had a bit of the love but hate to this exercise, exactly cause I did not know exactly where I had to stand or how to feel it in my chest, and for that I felt it mostly on my sholders, and that was not the good feeling, but lead to disliking the entire exercise. . thank you for this detailed video.

Always great to check your videos out. I'm 69 years old and enjoy working out, but I have had issues with my right shoulder and trapezius which make it difficult to workout. I'm seeing a chiropractor but so far it hasn't really helped. Can you advise me on what exercises I can maybe do to help with this issue. Thanks

You can change the lives of thousands of young people with this unique experience. Thank you in advance for everything.

Couldn’t be better timing, just got a cable machine for chest stuff. Great pointers for the pulley height.
I found it easiest to just sit on a bench with the back up to 70 degrees to get planted and get leverage/stretch. Also helps to find the perfect forward distance and stay there.

Any thoughts on going from a strictly free weight lifter to going to a gym and whatever equipment they have I’ve been thinking about it. It’s been like 15 years since I’ve been to a workout facility. I always just trusted gravity and my own stability more. Maybe a good video idea

Great video, I have learnt a lot! My only problem is that in the gym where I usually go there are a lot of people and mostly only one side of the cable machine is available, so I can only do the exercise with one hand only and then switch. But I think these rules can be still applied.

Early in the video, you said don't keep your feet beside each other. Otherwise, you're going to push your chest back when you do heavier reps. And then about 5 minutes into the video, you're saying to push your chest back when you're doing your reps. What's the difference

This video helps out tremendously. My work weightroom upgraded to having cable machines and I was excited, but didn't know how to use them as well as I should and I felt I wasn't getting the gains I wanted compared to other exercises. This makes me want to try cables again.

I def did the lower chest wrong. For years thanks Jeffy! although I can’t go too heavy on cables only because my right arm def has a torn muscle somewhere. Just feels awkward on that side. So I usually do about 35 lbs on each side but more reps

Hey Jeff. Which workout split should I do I’ve been doing PPL split, but recently I got a full time job and can only train on weekends. Should I do an upper/lower split full body or should I stick to PPL I’ve been training for almost 5 years.

Great video. I appreciate the lessons on this. This was huge for me.
Just goes to show no matter how long you’ve been lifting, you should always keep that student mentality. This explains the pains I’ve had in my shoulders over time.

I wish I hade the option of changing the speech speed. The voice is so fast I actually get stressed just trying to follow it. I will look to see if you provide a transcript but I don't see how I can read a transcript and watch the vid.

One thing I would ask people to consider is instead of crossing the arms simultaneously, alternate each arm to avoid the interference, allowing you to get each arm further across midline for a greater rage of movement/contraction.
