I get it. He's old and on gear so his tendons are shyt.

I workout at Planet fitness (Only gym In town with free weight) so benching with a barbell is not even an option. I like dumbbells much better anyway

Remove the chairs and try decline push ups instead

It's also the angle of how one benches. Im strongly against benching with your elbowa flared out. Yes you can lift more but that puts tremendous stress on your chest and shoulder joints.

Benching with your elbows in is mich safer imo. Plus that mimics the similar pattern of using dbs

Gotta tuck your elbows and move the bar from your sternum to eyeline in a J movement

 

[BrothaZay]

using your natural body weight like push ups and sit ups wont fukk you up long term though right?

No

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Just be honest a lot y’all are intimidated by barbells.

I get it. Y’all have terrible form.

No need to try to prop up the usage of dumbbells as being superior to barbells.

I bet a lot y’all don’t squat or deadlift either.

nikka don't nobody care about you meatheads, we really don't.

spot on analysis and advice

i've said this to @krackdagawd @The ADD and @Spliff that my best chest gains were with weighted dips and specifically "Y-Dips"


the movement is more natural and its easier to progressive overload (if you fail you just drop down on your feet)

bench press is wild overrated, what is wild underrated is deck of cards pushups tho

Push ups are for the milotary and folks who vant get into a gym. Yall posed to be working...so yall can afford a gym.
