Chest Workouts: Self Spotting Techniques for Heavy Lifting

If I had the money I would hire you as my personal fitness coach, so I think we are even ;)

me alegro tengas sentido del humor, en realidad es admirable tu capacidad y voluntad para hacerse de un buen cuerpo, un saludo cordial, be happy....

he looks like a girl with that boods ;P

As long as you are feeling no pain or having any difficulties while doing it, i still think you should. You will hear ALL the experts say, that rounding your back during deadlifts is the way to lower back problems - and look at Konstantin Konstanov. One of the best deadlifters in the world, and it doesn't look like he's experiencing problems using that technique. My point is, you shouldn't limit your growth in fear of injuries, if you are NOT experiencing any problems with full range of motion.

Tykketykke,

Are you a physical therapist or orthopedic surgeon? All the physical therapists I have worked with say it is NOT safe to use the shoulder's entire range of motion.

Evilcyber, I like you! If I had money I would hire you as a researcher. I had this shoulder safety stuff drilled into my head by an excellent physical therapist when recovering from shoulder surgery, I never saw the research references which they were based on. Thanks for finding the research!

Yep, reducing your bodyfat is the only way to get tight 6-pack abs. You say you are 7.7% bodyfat, I doubt that or you would have abs. Only the water immersion tanks provide a bodyfat with any accuracy, all the other methods are so inaccurate as to be useless. Try this simple test, grab a roll of skin about an inch to the side of your belly button and pinch hard - how thick is it. If you are 7.7%, it should be about 3/8" thick.

Very funny! So what size would I wear with a 52" chest?

I think you are asking about the gap between the pecs, that is genetic. Some men have a tight line between the pecs, some have a big even gap, and some have a big triangle gap at the bottom. Nothing you can do about it, genetics determines the attach points. Just work on making the pecs stronger/bigger and everything will fill out so that the gap is not noticed.

Once again a great video and fantastic advice Scoob. I will definitely be including these in my future workouts whilst lying on the floor. It just felt too precarious doing them on the bench.

Hey scooby, i wanted to know something about my abs, i just can barely see them after 7 months of training, and im 7.7% fat, should i reduce my fat percentage?

I already looked at his F**king useless site bitch !!!
I know more than u so stfu !!!

I just did a bit of research on it and found the following:

"(Instability of the glenohumeral joint) may also occur from repeatedly hyperextending the shoulder during the performance of bench presses, flyes, and the pec deck by lowering the bar or dumbbells to the point where the elbows are behind the back".

From "Minimizing Weight Training Injuries in Bodybuilders and Athletes" by Dr. Ben Weitz, published in "Topics in Clinical Chiropractic", June 1997. Can be found online under this title.

LOL :)

How is anyone around here supposed to tell you if your face has changed when no one has ever seen you?

If you need to keep tight ship on your weight, then do trust a scale - weigh yourself daily and mark it in a chart, this should show trends. Don't get hung up on the daily highs and lows!

And after four months it is very unlikely that you put on huge amounts of muscle.
