“YOUR GOAL IS TO BUILD A BIGGER CHEST AND DELTS? – CONSIDER IT DONE!”

THE KEYS TO BIG PECS:
Ever wonder why two people can do a bench press and one will get huge pecs, while the other only gets sore shoulders?
IS IT THEIR “GENETICS”?
Of course it is. But when it comes to building muscle, genetics doesn’t mean what most people think it does…
It’s not about one person being able to build muscle and the other not being able.
I believe if you can build one muscle, you can build them all. You just haven’t learned how to put tension through that muscle yet.
Genetics, with respect to muscle building seems to be most impacted by someones proportions, their ability to execute a skill and therefore… their ability to place tension directly into a single muscle.
So, that’s what we focus on. Teaching you how to set up an exercise for YOUR body to direct maximum tension through a muscle.
Not simply mindlessly lifting weight. Teaching you the keys to maximizing tension, and avoid the common mistakes that rob you of all the progress.
BIGGEST MISTAKES IN CHEST TRAINING:
During the program, we’ll get into plenty more of these, but here are 5 to get started:
- Thinking that flat bench is for lower pec, and incline is for upper (HINT: it’s not for 90% of people).
- Not giving setup and stability more attention.
- Not keeping the shoulders retracted at the beginning of the movement.
- Not lining up the pec fibres you’re looking to train with
the angle of the resistance (Set up). - Not training the fully shortened position.
5 KEYS TO STRONG AND ROUND DELTS:
- Stability at the trunk and scapula will ensure maximum tension in the right place.
- Sit tall, stand proud.
- Once you’ve picked your setup position, lock it in place.
- Learn to see the direction that the resistance is being applied (ex. dumbbell = down), and what muscle is best positioned to resist that.
- Determine AROM (active range of motion). Internal and external rotation of the shoulder joint. (*no scapula movement), and downward/upward rotation of the scapula.
