This is really basic stuff m8
Take a minute or two to study your lifts

Fuck i just got done with chest and i had no idea why my shoulders hurt like a bitch.

Thanks for this thread OP

Yea no problem

My shoulders hurt too

i do it both ways second way is good for light weight

You're taking effort from the front shoulder/rotator cuff and moving it to rear delts

wut up with his nips. shiet they low

does this apply to barbell bench press too?

Perspective you fucking nigger

yes, your shoulder joint is a ball and socket, making a slightly curved motion is much more natural. if youre pulling your shoulders back and popping your chest out it should feel much better

Jesus Christ I'm amazed at the amount of people that didn't know this, yes it also applies to barbell too

tomorrow is chestday so i will try it

it's the same with bench, how have yall not known this? it's the same movement but with dumbells. have you ever even looked up proper chest press form?

At least most noobs can't push enough weight to do damage

well do you bench over your shoulders? I fucking hope not

I do both. Heavy I use proper form but if I do a drop set, I slowly get my grip wider (flat bench) to really burnout my chest

Is this a troll thread?

I almost can't tell, is this a troll threaD?

No Im pretty sure I'd die if I did that

I do heavy on incline presses and when I drop to flat I do same amount sets at less weight

No this never came to my attention until today

Underrated

I have a shoulder prone to dislocation that makes barbell press near impossible because of the parallel grip.

I do dumbbell presses almost exclusively for push motion and I have always naturally gravitated to this grip, and find it makes my shoulder feel fine and focuses pressure on the chest rather than the delts.

yes, same thing applies for overhead pressing

what about rows?

is it dangerous to rows where arms are perpendicular to body?

My job makes that impossible, checkmate

just do barbel bench u fagit

Different movement; it's a pull. You should be keeping them perpendicular.

I also have trouble with my rotator cuffs.

I have Push today, so I'm trying to visualize this.

So instead of shoulder-width apart with my elbows at my sides, I squeeze my armpits so my grip is narrower and my elbows are actually a little bit in front of me. Right?

>the dumb Dominican was benching with arms abducted at 90° this whole time
Lmao I am not surprised at all. You are so stupid.

Thats exactly right. Your elbows should be in front of the bar slightly at the bottom of the rep, forearms vertical.
