00:00:00.000 Greetings you proud sons of Rome! Today we're gonna admire how glorious I am...
00:00:22.400 Sickening. We're gonna admire my chest actually, because I wanna give you a secret which can aid you to getting a more massive chest.
00:00:33.400 First of all, I need a second opinion on exactly how fucking massive and glorious my chest is. Let us consult Teddy.
00:00:43.400 Greetings! 0.99
00:00:49.400 Teddy says it's fucking massive. It's like Wölund the Smith and Hephaistios made a collaboration to just carve the perfect marble statue. 0.97
00:01:04.400 So yeah, that's enough of my daily narcissism. Now let's get on to the secret at hand.
00:01:12.400 And that is you should pause bench. And what I mean by pause bench is that most guys go with a touch and go. Like dun dun dun dun. Like they bounce the bar off the chest.
00:01:27.400 Don't do that. It increases the risk of injury and it detracts from the chest hypertrophy.
00:01:33.400 I have had a history of a lagging chest. When I started, however, to pause in the bottom of the movement, the chest is more activated.
00:01:42.400 Up here, the shoulders and triceps are more activated. Down here, it's more chest. So make sure to pause down in the bottom of the movement, explode up.
00:01:51.400 That is how you will make severe fucking chest gains. Especially if you have, you know, your broad shoulder with powerful delts. 0.98
00:01:59.400 Because then they will tend to overpower the chest. I'm sure a lot of guys can attest to this. For me that was a huge problem.
00:02:05.400 I was, like, benching out here. So, like, make sure. Pause and up. Explode up.
00:02:10.400 And then, obviously, if you're gonna get the big chest, you can utilize other movements such as incline dumbbell press.
00:02:15.400 And then you don't need to pause. You can just utilize a stretch. Some sort of overhead press.
00:02:20.400 And then bench at least two times a week, difference at least. And progressive overload.
00:02:26.400 But what I really wanted to say with this video was to, you know, encourage you to pause bench. Go down, pause and up.
00:02:33.400 And up. For optimal chest hypertrophy and reduction of injury.
00:02:40.400 And who am I? I'm the golden lion of wisdom. Hexo Hexo. Boom!
