RRR Chest at SweatBox 2012
Over the years I have had to work around a serious chest injury from when I was a teenager. Which is why for years I would stop an inch above my chest instead of touching it when doing any chest press exercises as you see in this video.
CHEST PROGRAM
Bench Press
3-5 sets x of 10 reps
4 x Super set
Smith Machine Incline Press x of 10-15 reps
Machine Flys (both or one arm) x of 10 reps
In a traditional Bench Press exercise you bring the barbell down to touch your chest but if the weight is extremely heavy or you have any chest/delt injuries it is safer to stop an inch above touching your chest. A bigger range of motion allows for greater stress on the muscle and increased growth but also a greater risk of injury.
