WWW.BODYBUILDINGWAREHOUSE.CO.UK Another nice compound exercise. this can also be done with a barbell but use of the dumbells helps to eliminate your leading side from taking over and makes each side work independently of one another. It also promote more controlled lifts and better technique development.

@crulee Hey mate
He means the lower portion of your palm. But dont worry to much, just do what feels right for you. If your grip is giving out you may want to focus on training your grip more to bring it up to strength!
What do you mean when you said “pressing through the heels of your palms”? I feel as though my forearms giveout way before my chest feels any pain.
Dont lock out elbows either , and keep shoulder blades pinned back to keep the shoulders out of it
i checked my bench and it didn’t have too high of an angle. but was a little high flat, my heels wouldn’t touch the floor just the tips of my toes, so i put some plates on the floor so my feet can NOW rest flat. DO U THINK THAT OUTTA DO IT?
thanx yea ive lowered my weight so i can focus on better and stricter form for a rep range of 8-12. before i was always trying to lift heavier with a rep range of 4-6 for isolate exericses.
Improved weight comes with improved form and time. You will gain much more from lifting a little less correctly than lifting more badly.
Weights belts are not needed and I would personally avoid them if you want to improve your natural stabaliser muscles. Only when Max weights are used on compound exercises are the belts really needed for safety.

You should keep you legs either on the floor or in some instances the benches provide a foot plate which is also usually a well positioned base.
If you are finding you are hurting your lower back check the bench is not at too high an angle. It also means you are probably loosing your form when lifting and raising your butt off the bench. If this is the case you need to lower the weight and concentrate on improving your form.
Weight without form is useless and will NOT generate results!
thanx for responding back BRUGH!!! what about putting ur legs on the bench when doing flat bench press, will that really put less stess on my lower back. its cuz when i have my feet on the ground i really feel it in my lower back cuz it arches to much or how bout a belt?
Yes defiantely.
Shoulders are a group that really need looking after. If you damage them you’ll be sidelined for a long time & they are a nightmare to recoupe!
You can go a small range past the parrallel but literally only a couple of cm’s otherwise you’ll feel the stress on the shoulder!
I find that tilting the weights in slightly helps reduce the pressure on the shoulder and really puts it on the chest. just ensure you keep the weights shoulder width apart.

another excellent vid brugh, do u think it would isolate my chest more and put less stress on my shoulders and triceps if i lower the weights only to biceps paralell to the ground?
Everyone has their own preferences but I don’t like exercises that include twists and holds as I believe they are just overly complicated movements with minimum if any benefit, especially when it comes to compound movements which should be your strongest exercises.
My suggestion is stick to the basics and concentrate on doing them with solid technique and aim for constant improvement.
The 30degree angle is fine. Somewhere between 30-40degrees is all good.
You’re so hot!
Btw, I’ve been told to do this at 30 degrees. Is that wrong? And also, I do it differently where I start of with my elbows tucked in with the DBs parallel to my body then as I stretch my arms out I rotate them so the DBs end up in a horizontal position at the top…is that right?
How you train depends on your goals.
If you’re simply bodybuilding then you should be doing body parts over a four day split. Minimum 3 exercises per part minimum 3 sets per exercise.
Aim to use rep ranges to failure going from ligh tto heavy and from higher reps to low reps increasing the weight each set to reduce your reps.
If its endurance then you should alternate between different high intensity timed circuit workouts with rep count weighted circuits. Variation is the key!
Great stuff man – enjoyed all your videos. Any chance of maybe a quick fire 5 minute video that shows a decent 3 or 4 day weekly routine? That would be awesome.
Glad to be helping you guys and we’ll keep on doing so!
Just post up any requests that you think would be of use and we’ll do our best to cover them!
Regards
Lex
