The funny thing is is that the machine chest press can either be a F- or an S+ most of the time when I find a mission chest press it's like a B at best bedtime to lack range of motion in the movement path is awkward also they're set up incorrectly
Ignore the positive comments king!!
feels good? so no pain no gain was a lie?
This is a great video. Having started weight training at 43 a month and a half half ago I started with what I had in the house. Adjustable dumbbells, an adjustable bench, and resistance bands.
I’ve gotten results I’m very happy with just doing flat bench press, then going to incline bench, and then going to dumbbell flies on a flat bench. Every week is a new PR. Some weeks more than others. I can see where down the road I’m going to have to go to gym because I’m going to need more variation. But so far everything I’m doing is in your A category and I’m happy with that!
Thanks for the awesome content!!
What about the sitting machine chest press?
All chest machines are garbage, they are only good if you are average height and average size. With someone with higher shoulder width they are guaranteed way to fuck up your shoulders
Wouldn't keeping your arms straight with just a slight elbow bend on the chest fly give you more chest activation then having a deeper Bend in your elbows
My gym has dumbbells up to 250 pounds. I don’t think I have seen anybody use anything past the 120s lol
MY favorite push-up is ring pushup, I get a bit of a decline, I also use a backback with weight in it.
Gymnastics ring dips are goated
Upper traps?
DB flys at 20? no wonder why you don't feel shit.
Man I wish I woulda found Jeff sooner. But Regardless this guy has legit changed my life. I’m beyond grateful for your channel. Keep up the amazing work you do bud!
01:18 pullover
10:49 seated pac fly
12:13 cable press around
Help me out jeff….
Couple of years ago i broke my left clavicle ( at the junction of medial two third and lateral one third). It ended up in non union. Now i observe that my left pec is less firm and bit more flabby than my right pec ( which is more firm )….
How do i fix this.. 😢😢
You over looked elevating your feet when doing push-ups, also you can combine deficit push-ups with elevating your feet for a very difficult chest exercise. It's like doing an incline bench…
What about cable flyers , pulling from down , upwards for upper chest
Just going to comment on the pushups cause I do calisthenics and there are ways to progressively overload as well. You have many pushup variations that can be useful, stranded pushups, archer push ups and, one of my future goals, the planche push-up. I can't do them yet but you can work towards them by bringing your hands closer are closer to your center of mass(pseudo-planch push-up), making you lift more weight. The final goal is to not have your feet touch the floor at all during a push-up.
Pull overs have always been for lats, I've never known anyone get confused with them as a pecks exercise
We need a toji video
I am grateful to you, my brother Jeff, for allowing me to translate into Arabic. I am in Egypt and many of my friends follow you. Please add Arabic translation in all your special videos. I wish you a happy life. Thank you, my brother 🇪🇬♥️
Im new.

So seated fly, ok to let hands go behind chest? I was taught that elbows ok, hands need to stay in line at MOST with the chest not falling back. Curious, would this be "if it feels good do it" as well?
Arms next
please rank every tricep or bicep excercise
I love this man's voice
Why you are forgetting tier list of leg exercises.
Forgot reverse grip bench which activates upper pecs and gives a deep stretch.
I don't get the simple progression thing. Doesn't the ability to add reps or weight apply to nearly all exercises?
Jeff, I think you need to stop considering stretch so important. You seem to be losing the point of training in pursuit of a stretch when you could be focusing more on sharing stable movements that can easily be loaded, and encouraging people to get apply progressive overload. The meta-analysis you keep making reference to is nonsense. Almost all of the research showing advantages to lengthened partial range of motion was on untrained subjects, and in general any research demonstrating extra growth from stretch is done on untrained subjects. There was actually one study on trained subjects for the triceps, where there was greater hypertrophy for those performing tricep extensions in the final 45 degrees before lockout compared to those doing a 90 degree motion from 90 degrees of flexion to 0. There was one study that showed greater total tricep hypertrophy in the overhead position compared to neutral, but it is likely that that was due to edema. I didn’t go through all the studies in that meta-analysis, but I did look through some of the ones that showed greater hypertrophy for partial range of motion and that’s what I found.
There is a sitting pec macine at my gym, is this the same ideal?
Whats the bare minimum workout? Like twice a week. Which excercises, how many sets?
I don’t get it why do we need to stretch our chest, the studies shows the best angle to train is 45 and 90 degrees. Also, speaking logically while stretching our pecs aren’t we creating more tension on our insertion point of the muscle? Which may ultimately lead to the pec tear, especially when the weight is heavier.
jeff is cooking 2024
Thanks very much for the tips. Best wishes 😍😍😍
I’m rather new to getting into working out and have a very small gym available to me and enjoy doing a full body workout every day I go in which is 4x a week, is it ok to do the same exercises every day I’m in the gym to keep it simple? Or am I going to get burned out to fast by not mixing up how I’m hitting each muscle group?
Great information really helpful.
I missed the first week discount 😅
Can you make an updated upper/lower program? Powerbuilding inspired
I have to say, I agree with 99% of your rankings here.
Top vid mate.🎉
This is a opinion. Everyone’s body is different and reacts different.
QUESTION: 🙋♂️
The only chest press machine at my gym is a seated one instead of a lying one – do they provide the same benefit or is seated worse than lying down?
Please keep doing these tier lists for accessories like biceps
Hey Jeff, can you do a video on massage guns and whether they work or not? Thanks
do shoulders!
Your comments regarding bench press and dumbbell press are unwarranted. Bench press destroys the shoulder, period. Nothing to do with "more weight than you should." Dumbbell Press is far superior, and safer, and healthier.
so question, which would be better for overall growth, incline db press or seated chest press??
Yo, can you make a video on Shilajit
