Just watched some vids of Dusty Hanshaw. I understand now. I'll try this technique the next time I hit chest on Friday.
Hey fellas. What do you guys think of Branch Warren's form when he trains chest. Here's a link to him training chest.
Branch Warren and Jose Raymond Chest Workout PREP For Mr Olympia 2014 - YouTube
Look at 2:10 with Branch's form. Notice how he has his elbows tucked in and the bar lowers to his mid chest level. This is how I have to do my incline presses now with my slab tear injury but the problem now is with my elbows tucked in like this my triceps fail before my pecs do.
Look at part 5:40 where Branch Warren has his elbows tucked to his sides while doing flat dumbbell presses. This is also the way I have to do my dumbbell presses now with my slab tear injury. Once again since I'm so use to flaring my elbows out and am actually stronger that way, by keeping my elbows tucked in like Branch, my weights are cut in half and my triceps fail before my pecs do.
How the hell does Branch Warren do his presses this way without his triceps taking over the majority of the load.
I'm actually a lot stronger and feel it in my upper chest more by flaring my elbows out and lowering the bar to my clavicles like the way Jose Raymond does his presses in this video at part 3:30.
