Greetings you proud sons of Rome.
Today we're gonna admire how glorious I am.
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.
First of all, I need a second opinion on exactly how fucking massive and glorious my chest is.
Let us consult Teddy.
Teddy says it's fucking massive.
It's like Verlund the Smith and Hephaestios made a collaboration to just carve the perfect marble statue.
So yeah, that's enough of my daily narcissism.
Now let's get on to the secret at hand.
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 just bounce the bar off the chest.
Don't do that.
It increases the risk of injury and it detracts from the chest hypertrophy.
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.
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.
That is how you will make severe fucking chest gains.
Especially if you have, you know, you're broad shouldered with powerful delts 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.
I was like benching out here.
So like, make sure, pause and up, explode up.
And then obviously, if you're gonna get a big chest, you can utilize other movements, such as incline dumbbell press, and then you don't need to pause.
You can just utilize a stretch, some sort of overhead press, and then bench at least two times a week difference at least, and progressive overload.
But what really wanted to say with this video was to just, you know, encourage you to pause bench, go down, pause and up for optimal chest hypertrophy and reduction of injury anywhere.
