Go to any gym in the world on a Monday night…and you will see blokes fighting for a bench press or chest machine.
And you will see the most intense “blue steel” gazes into the mirror while they attack a set of cable flyes.
YUP…its international CHEST DAY.
There are a multitude of GREAT chest exercises.
Whether its for mass and all out strength
Or whether its for functional strength
Whatever your reason is for training chest, As I have mentioned before. I am sure you want to be able to stay strong AND pain free while doing it
Today we are going to cover what could be THE BEST CHEST EXERCISE for strength and muscle size, but keeping in mind longevity. And the need to stay strong, AND pain free.
So we are talking about FLOOR PRESS.
Now, when I can, I will always choose a standing exercise over seated or lying. It simply helps me stay more athletic and utilise more of the body in one exercise.
However, some basic training laws will win out when it comes to muscle size and strength.
Lying will always let you combat the laws of physics best when you need to load up the chest and apply enough stress to make it grow.
WHY could it be the best?
1. Some of us don't have the mobility or more precisely the STRENGTH at our end range of motion to keep or shoulder joints from potential injury when doing bench press. Whether its with a bar or Dumbbells.
That warm stretch feeling you get at the bottom of a bench press is not always a good thing.
And that nagging shoulder pain is DEFINITELY NOT a good thing
The floor press ensures we don't over extend the shoulder joint.
Now I am not saying DONT DO bench press. (Dr Mike Renaissance Periodisation….please don't be angry)
I am simply saying, there are alternatives that can help to minimise risk.
Especially when you train alone, or don't have the correct guidance to help with your technique
2. If you train alone it is easy to get the weight into position to start
3. Also, if you train alone, its easy to put the weight down at the end of your set.
4. Using dumbbells in the floor press allows more adduction of the humerus.
Remember, the main function of the Pecs (chest muscles) is to adduct the upper arm.
This is a safe and effective exercise if you want to build those DIRTY PILLOWS!!!
AND if you want to minimise possible aches and pains, and of course, train for longevity.
Check the video for technique and tips.
Aim for 8-15 controlled reps per set.
Don't forget to breathe,
In on the way down (eccentric). Out on the way up (concentric)
3-4 sets
2 X per week.
Is this the best exercise for Chest?
I think its right up there, and its one I do weekly. As always, it will depend on your goal, physical condition and limitations.
However, I recommend you give it a try
Remember the goal of this channel is to clarify and SIMPLIFY so you can take action NOW.
Remove the confusion and possible ANALYSIS PARALYSIS.
I understand there are a lot of nuances and unique personal needs when it comes to any aspect of Health and Wellbeing. However, sometimes we just need some simplicity to get us started, OR get us back on track if we are a bit lost with all the options and information out there.
START SIMPLE or GET BACK TO SIMPLE so you can create a habit that impacts on your life.
Thanks for watching (and reading) . Keep moving, keep improving, and keep the Mojo alive.
