Ok guys, some time ago I switched my main chest exercise from
BB flat bench to DB, due to me being having long a## arms and (as the famous
Dorian Yates article said) BB flat bench ain't doing much for my chest.
Inclined is already much better, but is the BB vs BD the real deal,
DB presses just work much better for my chest.
Improvements have been noticeable since then, but still, when doing
DB presses (flat more than inclined but both anyway) there wasn't the kind
of stimulation, tension if you want, that I wanted.. Like my pecs gets way more
stimulation with DB flys (i do them very heavy) and weighted dips,
with presses, meh.. kind of but not really.
Last workout after my heavy DB flat press routine I decided I wanted to push myself a lil more and wanted something different,so I started doing (fairly heavy) DB press drop sets ON A SWISS BALL instead using the bench,
and holy f#ck!!!!
Not only my chest was ON FIRE but I could push a lot more weight without my shoulders and tris getting tired
before my pecs (despite I do pre-exhaustion flys before DB presses).
After the first set instead of doing drop sets I started adding weight and I ended up 10lbs heavier
than I do on the bench..
But the thing is, I could've gone much farther than that, the only problem was: I was on a swiss ball -_-
you know? Stability with all that weight started to concern me a bit
So, here's the challenge: WTF? How?? Why?? Is it because my shoulders where somewhat supported?
It is the angle? and most important: how can I replicate that feeling/dynamic WITHOUT using a damn swiss ball??
Please help me analyze this because is driving me crazy..
