-makox9 I have personally injured my shoulders more than once by bringing the bar all the way down to the chest. I've since learned that there is no benefit to your chest by bringing the bar all the way down, because once you go beyond 90 degrees, you really aren't using your chest muscles anymore, you are using mostly triceps and shoulders to bring it back up to 90 degrees. Stopping at 90 degrees keeps the tension on your chest the entire rep and gives you a much better chest workout.

You realize that pro hormones are chemical precursors of testosterone? Your body converts a large percentage of those chemicals to testosterone. The effects can be similar to roids but are usually somewhat less effective. Most of them are legal because the government hasn't banned the specific precursor chemicals. Truthfully, I'd rather take real gear than mess with this stuff. They're extremely hard on your liver and have many of the same side effects as real gear.

Yes, I know. I know a guy that highly recommends andro, saying that I won't regret cycling it. While I was sorely tempted, I personal am not going to go that route, but I've got nothing against the guys that do. We each have to walk our own path. I just used -pro hormone- as an all encompassing term for really any kind of gear. I don't believe Taylor gained 30lbs of muscle. I think he just said that for the hype. But if he did, it sure as hell wasn't naturally.

-JDCav24 Are you not more likely to develop shorter, knotted muscles by working within such a short range of motion? -
You're right that at the bottom of the lift a lot of stress is placed upon the shoulder joint, but surely this should be compensated for by supplimenting your training with adaquately developed rotator cuff and posterior shoulder muscles? -
Or are you just saying that this technique should be used just during the extreme overload?

-FunkShitUp33 Actually. yes, great point. Guys, protect those shoulders and the AC joints in your shoulders by limiting the bench press to as low as I'm going (with a 90 degree bend in the elbows. The extra few inches gained by going down to the chest increases your liklihood of screwing up your shoulder greatly! You'll still build a defined and large chest without the chest bump! Jeff

-flores6862010 put some weight on, and train heavier. I mean for 16 yo you're light dude
The reason it may vary is because your routine may have been changed e. g. food, sleep stress levels etc.
Maintain these things, dont overtrain and youll gain size and strength quicker; it works for me and im only 15 184lbs from 146 lbs in july!

-cedfav You need to make sure you're muscles are primed for this future set as much as possible before attempting it. Plus the success of the set is based solely on completing the lift safely using weight you had never attempted before (and that was obviously higher than you had worked with on your work sets that day.

I've heard the rumors of 30lbs of muscle in a year. The only way that's going to happen is if you're still in puberty (Going to gain 15-20lbs of muscle regardless) Unless you're on roids, you can't gain 30lbs of muscle in a year. Solid advice in this video, but don't expert 30lbs in a year. Won't happen. Sorry.

Great tips here, Jeff! I always love your videos. I gave this a try yesterday with the shoulder press and it felt awesome! especially that last negative rep. I'll be sure to do this with my bench press when I work chest this week; I'm going to try it both flat and incline. Thanks for the good info, as always!

since I work out alone I always use the smith machine for my bar bench. I usually switch as well about every other week and include doing deep dumbbell bench-as well as incline and decline dumbbell bench press. my question which is better dumbbell or bar I keep getting diff answers from diff people.
