It's IFBB Pro Sergio Oliva Jr and we are at The Gym in San Diego and I'm training with
the real deal Chris Cormier and we're gonna kill some chest today
first movement here is the one of my favorites the flex leverage incline
because you want to attack the upper part of chest right away that's usually the
weaker part on most people but you want to get that when you're at your strongest in the
workout
nice and easy just warm it up
a month and a half or so I've been training Sergio here at San Diego it's been a great
atmosphere Sergio's been making some really good
improvements I'm really happy with his back improvement lat spread back double
biceps all improved legs are fuller more detail gonna see this for yourself but I
see it coming already
so we just finished the arsenal strength it's really a flat press but I
I move the seat all the way forward so the majority of the movement is pushing
up to hit the upper chest I'm trying to go as narrow as I can so I can try and
hit the center that's the main focus on is filling in the center upper part of
my chest we did four sets of 12 to 15 reps the only thing that I try and do in
that is really trying to squeeze my back together so I'm pushing with my chest
and not my triceps without letting it come all the way down
extra stretch on the pec
keep the muscle healthy
now we're going to move to a flat press which would be more of a squeezing than
actually training heavy
all right when I'm on these ridiculous low carbs there's no point in trying to
train really heavy you're not really going to make that much of a difference
you're definitely not growing muscle at this point so just trying to fill in the
gaps and try and get more fullness in the muscle
for me training the next generation to continue to help the next generation now
means a lot you know starting from the teenagers on up I think it's all
important to build up solid foundation and instill the right mentality with the
younger groups coming up and hopefully we can make the next generation just
like the last generation
this close to a show you're not gonna build any muscle like
new muscle so getting on free weights and doing heavy heavy there's just more
risk than reward
I've been dieting for 16 weeks I took the last year and a half off all for
this one show if I did something stupid and got hurt a few weeks before the
show I don't think I could ever let it down
now we're doing the machine flies some reason when I lean back all the way
and put my back against the pad I only feel on the outer part of my PEC coming
in so just by me leaning forward and sticking my chest out and then bringing
the handles out without my back touching the pad I feel like it hits the upper
and the middle chest which is again my main focal point
so this is old school pec dec a lot of gyms don't even have anymore
again it's the same focal point middle of the chest sort of different because
takes your triceps out of it so you have to drive with your elbows
which makes you squeeze with your clavicle so it's good to finish with
when your arms and your triceps are dead from the rest of the chest day
so that concludes our chest workout mostly primarily tried to focus on upper
chest and the center thanks for watching make sure to subscribe below
