anatomy ish question
ad
Getting the line from your lower chest up to neck, separating the pecs, how does one get it? And 2, it is all your chest muscles, correct? I find when hitting shoulders sometimes it'll show
which follows, if the upper part of the chest is indeed the chest, why when people bench press do they bring the bar down to their nipple line? Why not hit in the middle of your chest?
jw lol have a good day vets

Ooh ok touching the whole time. where on my chest do i bring it down to?
So do kind of like a fly but without going outwards?
juiceinatorCheck out Louie Simmons videos on how to bench. Fuck benching like some shitty bodybuilder with crap form I've gotten way more significant results from benching with a good arch and low on my sternum. I believe it's Louie or Dave Tate who goes through a great instructional tutorial on how to bench properly. As far as seeing the line, that's all development and being lean enough. Pm me your current diet and I'm sure we can get you a bit leaner so you'll get closer to what you're looking for.
I will. thanks. I have separation on the lower part but not upper
juiceinatorEither not developed enough or too much bf still. Let's knock some of that down and see how much of a difference that makes.
Alright cool. Hey when you do the bar to sternum, coming up, do you bring it over your face kind of? Or just straight up. I tried the whole big arc thing n it ddint work for me. i do think i need to widen my grip though
juiceinatorSlight arc. Wider grip. My pinky is always on the ring of the bar.
The separation between the two pectoral muscles can be attained through exercises such as dumbbell flies and the pec-dec machine, which target the inner-pec.
If you look at a human anatomy diagram you'll notice that the shoulder muscles (specifically the front deltiod) overlaps part of the pectoral. Therefore, on certain chest exercises, its common for some front delt to be utilised, likewise for certain shoulder exercises, some pec may become involved.
With bench pressing, you must be careful and aware of the function of each muscle, so by doing certain movements (bad form) you could risk injury through applying too much pressure on certain joints.
The problem i have encountered is before when i had bad form, i easy lifting more than i am now. i have been on a stricter form for.over a year too so its not like its still new
Ok. Well imo i think you should add rotator-cuff exercises before you begin your shoulder and chest training sessions to ensure the shoulder joint and surrounding muscles are warmed up sufficiently enough to support loads.
Now, if your goal is hypertrophy, then it really about the tension you apply on your muscles.
I want both really...
TropicanaJuice1.genetics plays a big role in the shape of muscles, but ur not gonna have that seperation unless youve built up the muscles and are lean enough to see them
2. When you hit shoulders, depending on the angle of the bench your most likely incorporating a little bit of your upper chest(pectorals major ties into your anterior or front deltoid)
And when benching you should hit the nipple line because it keeps the shoulder rotated how it suppose to, its more effective and easier on the shoulders when you bring the bar down to the nipple rather then higher up on the chest
I have some basic questions if hour don't mind me asking. if not pm please
TropicanaJuiceask away bro
