I voted for the Incline Barbell but was wondering why flys were not included in the poll. Flys are awsome for the chest. I may have had a harder choice if that was included in the poll.
Ahhh....gotchaits b/c people keep voting
I did that today actually on the Hammer strength machines....I like Heavy dumbell flat press. If you keep your range of motion narrow on one set and slightly wider on another set you can pound your chest.
hehehe. don't u just wish you could teach them a lesson.... if they say there's 2 of 'em and just one of you, just show them your guns and say "actually more like 3 of me and 2 of you". bwahahahahaBy the way, was about halfway through my workout yesterday when these two skinny abercrombie brothers come struttin in and immediately proceed to begin cable crossovers with 40's per side... you should add this excellent mass builder Pjorstad, by no means should it ever be overlooked
(I'd probably ex the poll and just ask for people's suggestions)
i think cable flys should have been up there. i love em! and they love me too!
decline dumbell shows the highest EMG rating of muscle involvement. something like 93% flat barbell was 90, i think. all these guys saying incline, its the lowest chest muscle fibre recruiter.
Ill look around, im sure it was a study i read about im MD.Gifted,
Where can I find further info about these EMG ratings?
This is my training philosophy exactly, This information is crucial in justifying max chest strength with minimal assistance campared to other planes of movement. I start with flat/decline but if upper chest was my weakness id prioritize the lacking area. Makes more sense to fatigue the target muscle more than the supporting cast.Hit the muscle from every angle, decline, incline and flat. End with some fly's and everyone is happy
There is the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor, of which the former is the one we think of as "pecs". Its one muscle.There is no single best chest developement exercise. Thats rediculous to even try to answer what it would be. Your chest is made up of several different muscles that are directly stimulated by several different exercises. When all those exercises are effectively intertwined, with PERFECT FORM, that is your best chest developer. :thumbsup:
