Thank you for this video Jeff. I'm 6'4- 175 lbs (SUPER LANKY) and I've been struggling with my upper chest for years. I've been doing the same exercises my friends are doing, and all of the ones you've been showing in your previous videos, but I have had almost zero results. I realized slowly that gym equipment isn't built for someone my size. There is never enough room to get into the proper position and it doesn't do anything for my chest. I've been doing the alternating dumbbell lifts like in this video for 4 days now and I'm finally understanding what that exercise is suppose to feel like. Any other tips you can give to skinny guys would be fantastic! We are a whole new category of human when it comes to fitness and there is almost no information available to us.

Hey Jeff thanks for the help, your awesome man. I have an embarrassing question, my right arm was always bigger than my left due to swinging a sledgehammer in concrete for 15 yrs. So naturally when I began working out my right arm stayed bigger, so I got the dumb idea when benching to compensate for it by placing my hands to the left of the bar, now my left pec is a little bigger. Is there anything I can do about that, Thank you

If it is harder for a lankier person to bench press the same amount of weight as a stockier person, would it be fair to say the lankier person benching the same weight as the stockier person is actually functionally stronger? Presumably, lifting the exact same weight through a longer range of motion is an indicator of greater strength as more force was applied for longer.

I really think that these should be considered 2 separate excercises. I'm not criticising the arch. I also love to arch nowadays because it allows me to lift a lot heavier.
But what happens when you do an incline bench press now? Do we still keep the arch so that it's more of a traditional bench press? Is there any benefits to a traditional flat back bench?

Well I just stared working out and went from 45kg to 50. 6kg in the past 2. 5 months, I-ve gone from lifting 25kg max on bench press to 55kg, I know it-s not super heavy weight and some of u may think I-ve put on fat, I haven-t, My abs are clearer than ever and I am the fittest I-ve ever been and the strongest I-ve ever been

I think I've been pushing my shoulders forward for as long as I've been lifting, I'm 6'4', and my arms are disproportionately long so bench has been nothing but trouble for me. I've been lifting a long time and my bench press is embarassingly low. I wish I had someone knowledgeable to help me a long time ago.

One thing I get from this video is that the point of arching the back is to use a cheat to lift weights heavier than you otherwise could. Is that correct? Why not just use good form and appropriate weights. Over time, strength will improve and heavier weights can be used all while maintaining good form.

I sleep with that arch. it's the natural resting position of my back. if I lay as flat as I can on my back on a flat floor, you can roll a golf ball under me. I don't mean to sound like I'm making excuses, I'm just concerned that the mechanics don't apply the same given my odd skeletal structure.

I need your help in my problem
1. Left chest is less wide and little bit bulky
2. Right chest is wider than left but not bulky
As a result I can see that lower left chest is well defined while right is almost flat.
What should i do?

I've found having a certain amount of body fat helps with chest size. Also try dumbell chest presses on the floor (relax chest on bottom portion and engage chest and push weight up) has helped massively past 6 months. 5x8 reps
