![]() ![]() For relativity my working weight for bench is around 180 lbs 4x8. For this exercise I use a 45 lb Dumbbell for 4x12 working reps. This exercise can be hard on your shoulders if you have shoulder problems, or do the movement without the utmost control. Lower the weight slowly on the eccentric part of the movement. This means your upper back/shoulders are forced to stay glued to the bench, meaning less movements, which promotes more lat and serratus activation. This means your shoulders have more room to move, which means you can lower the Dumbbell further down, creating more of a stretch throughout the movement, and really use those lats and helps develop the serratus muscle.Įnsure you are actively flexing your lower abdominal muscles and trying to push your but into the bench. Unlike traditional chest exercises like the Bench Press, I like to have the back of my head slightly off the bench. With a lot of lousy content on this site, rather than complaining, I thought I'd help generate some, so I thought I'd make a little thread on them, why I like them, a few tips and pointers to try and get the most out of them, and where not to go wrong with them, as they aren't your most traditional exercise.Ī lot of people advocate having your body perpendicular to the bench, but I feel this doesn't give your back, shoulders and legs enough stability to ensure you move the weight with good control. Recently I've been incorporating them a lot into my routine, and I'm really loving the results. ![]() New favorite exercise = Dumbbell Pullovers! Believe what people say at your own risk.
