Are You Activating Your CHEST Muscles Properly?? (QUAH #9) | MIND PUMP

Very solid points of the pre exhaust. It builds that signal to fire at that specific body part. I've had workouts where I wouldn't do a proper warmup (pre exhaust) and not only wouldn't my muscle connection not fire properly, but also would lead to more aches and pains with my joints.

I've always had an incredibly difficult time feeling my chest and felt really insecure about it as the relatively smallest muscle in my upper body, thank you so much for making this great video!❤

Pre exhausting has helped me a lot. Flies are the only thing that give me clear activation; so I start with them on light weight (I like cables) then go do a traditional bench with less weight and focus only on form and control (a measly 135lb but I’m not there to prove anything so whatever). Then usually once a week I’ll go as heavy as possible on a chest press machine in hopes to just engage more than I could with free weights and get a little stronger. Chest and back has always been my weakness. Strong, long arms and legs but a weak trunk lol.

Most underrated youtube channel

A holes . That friend with a weak chest is me🤣haha thanks for this great video

That was a great video thanks !

These guys are great.

Great info

Good stuff boys!

thankyou, just starting working out and my uncle was saying i need to use my pecs but i didnt even know it was possible

If you're already very strong from the shoulders / tricep, doing heavy flies has been great for me. Holding 2-3 seconds at the longest position ( on the bottom) to stretch the pecs has been helping a good amount as well. The sets following feels way better.

I have a doubt, should I flex during the whole movement or only during the concentric phase? 

I started taking creatine and I'm wondering if I should take it on my active rest days as well or stick to just resistance training days? For reference, I work full body 3 days a week. #quah

Patiently waiting for the exercise videos to resume.

Should you do pre-exhaust sets before every working set?

What 3 A-holes disliked this video?  Nothing but great info and tips.  For 10 years I couldn't activate my chest, and since I've followed mind pump for the past year my chest is finally in line w the rest of my body.  Was by far my weakest muscle group, but now I like to make my pecs dance just because I can. lol   MIND PUMP = MOTIVATION Thanks for all you guys do!

I put my shoulders back and BAM, I could suddenly feel my chest

I believe dumbbells are much better than barbells for chest.

I couldn't activate my chest because I was more concerned about pressing the weight up. Now I activate/flex my pecks before I begin every rep. Works like a charm.

Love these " gurus" build like shrimps, yet giving people tips on training lol
