Literally why would I do barbell or double dumbbells over picrel?Single arm allows you properly focus and fully explode one side to failure without worrying about imbalances.>b-but muh barbell strength Nobody does chest work for strength outside powertards, 99% of people are doing it for chest growth, and the hell wouldn't I exclusively do the one exercise that maximizes isolation/hypertrophy?
>>74616358The image demonstrates a series of exercises using dumbbells on a bench to target specific upper body muscles. The exercises focus on working the anterior deltoid, triceps brachii, biceps brachii (short head), upper pectoralis major, and lower pectoralis major. This visual guide is designed to help in performing effective strength training for the upper body.
Agreed, "NOes! Yu caNT jusr do one arm EXErcises you havr to riSk injury doin dumbll at same timerino!!1" LOL i crack myself up XD post chest hypertrophy routine niggas
Nothing wrong with unilateral work, just typically forced to do machines at a certain point due to the physics of the thing. Unless you're Shaw when he was fat, you're gonna have trouble balancing the bigger dumbbells on just one side.
>>74616365You're a faggot.
>>74616923FP(that isn't OP)BP
nobody in this board lifts though
>>74616358Balance is a big fucking problem even at moderate weight.
>>74616365gpt ahh reply
>>74616358This exercise looks absolutely retarded. You are placing an incredible amount of strain on your rotator cuff for no benefit. It hardly even works your chest. At the top of the rep, your chest is doing nothing to hold it up. At the bottom, it's doing nothing to hold it. All the strain is on your rotator cuff.Just do bench presses if you want chest muscle hypertrophy for fuck's sake. People try to overcomplicate lifting by adding all of these retarded meme exercises. There are like 6–10 exercises you should be doing, and anything else is overcomplicating it and wasting your time. Stop doing retarded meme exercises, and then with all of your free time you now have, go do sprints or rock climbing or jiu jitsu or literally any other physical activity in addition to lifting 3–4 times a week.
>>74616358hijacking your thread about dumbbell bench for a stupid questioni have only trained pull/back for about 5 years now for a sportdecided to finally round out the rest of my body and have hit push very hard for about a month. now i am have AC joint strains in both my shoulders. is this due to bad form (i do drop my dumbbells pretty deep because the pec stretch feels good)? or just neglecting particular joints involved in push for 5 years and just deciding to hit them really hard
>>74617876You're not feeling a "pec stretch" you retard. That's your rotator cuff screaming in pain and telling you to stop being a retard. It turns out your shoulders really don't like it when you hold weight against gravity far away from your body with a stretched arm. Hm it's like that's a completely unnatural position for humans to ever be in and that's not at all how we are built to move.
>>74617923thanks bro, i will adjust
>>74617827This. /thread.
>do a bunch of needlessly complicated retarded unstable shit>MAYBE get 0.5% advantage>more than likely you will be using energy/force to maintain balance in your body and not be able to actually target the muscles you want as effectively Not worth it desu
>>74618000its more like>never developing OA in your shoulder in older age due to stronger rotator cuff musclesBarbell bench press destroys shoulders. If you have trouble balancing the weight, that means you have muscle imbalances in your shoulder. Unilateral training also leads to greater activation of muscle fibers which then results in greater strength and hypertrophy gains with significantly less weight.There's a reason why a large amount of people can't do dips, it's not a coincidence that the bench press is the most popular lift.
yes
>>74616358Doubles workout time
>>74616358Post pecs
>>74621227front delt u meant - this movement has nothing to do with pecs lol >they are used so is ur asshole shut tight as u do it - it's just as "used" unilateral work is awesome, why would u emulate barbell while doing unilateral movement is eluding me though, must be u're fucking retarded
>>74616358why is this board so filtered by unilateral work?
>>74622146Prolllly me nuking your shitty threads shilling bilateral mostly barbell movements bot, any problem?>>74621506
>>74616358Spending 2x longer time for no real benefit, not thanks
>>74622146It's polarized. you just have to pick a side.
