what's up guys this is IFBB Pro Jose Raymond and Regan Grimes IFBBPro and
today we're going to do a chest workout
we started with cable flyes something nice and easy to get a warm up we left
that machine feeling really pumped and ready to move some stuff when I do these
I start I'll do five real close to my body then five out a little further five
even further out
I always bring my my pinkies together it's gonna be bottom it's always good
you know to train with a training partner sometimes you know you get stuck
in your own ways and you know it's good to to hear it from somebody else or
train with somebody else so you're actually switching it up and hitting
different muscles like you don't hit at home
after the cable flyes we went right into dumbbell incline press where we you know
started off with a lighter weight around seventy-five pounds to about twelve to
fifteen reps and then we progressively went heavier as the sets went on
all right
yeah these are what I like to call the Flintstone weights they're actually a
solid mass of weight where a lot of the other dumbbells are plates put together
and they're about this long these things were just solid mass like I could barely put my
hand in between them but it makes it a lot easier to balance as Regan said it
makes it a lot easier to get a full contraction they're not smacking into
each other really cool York old-school dumbbells and we're old school kind of
people so this fit perfectly
yeah
to us we're bodybuilders and I like in training to a day out on the golf course
you know we don't golf but to a bunch of friends that like to go golfing you know
that's their time together and get to hang out shoot the shit us we go to the
gym you know we get to spend time together get to know each other better
and you know it's a good time
we then moved on to the legend lever edge incline press which is similar to
like a hammer strength plate loaded machine it's a little higher of an
incline than we were on with the dumbbells so it was important for us to
try to hit many different angles which we did this machine was a pleasant
surprise because we got a really good stretch really good squeeze and I liked
how like the actual the handles were were bent inwards so you at the top of
the movement you could really really flex the pecs in the middle
so I do four rapid-fire constant tension that I do four pausing at the bottom of
the full stretch position then I do four wrap it again it just increases the time
under tension it's just another intensity technique without necessarily
having to go super super heavy I'm trying to keep my shoulders you know
retracted and really at the top of the movement
making sure kind of like pretend that you're gonna bring your elbows together
like squeezing this way instead of just like pressing the weight so I really
squeeze at the top
so for flat press this was our fourth exercise you know that the pump is
settled in you know you're starting to get a little bit of muscle fatigue but
this is at the point of the workout where you really got to push through if
you want to see the results so this one you know we kept the same same tempo
progressive you know every set we go a little bit heavier pushing ourselves and
when we started this one we actually went with a neutral grip it's slowly the
second and third set we turn it into a little more of in the middle and it just
started it felt better on the chest and a little bit more off the triceps and
pain in the elbows
the last movement we did we moved on to the machine Pec deck or fly machine
same thing lots of squeezing moderate weight to start
so that's what I always try to like bring again bring my pinkies inwards
karate chop it takes like your shoulders out of it
so it's like while I'm coming down I turned inwards like that it like the
elbows yeah pops my chest up and when I feel like it takes the shoulders out of
it
oh all right muscle and strength this concludes our chest workout I hope you
