I noticed when Flex corrected his form, he started struggling on light weight. Goes to show people arent as strong as they think they are when they actually start lifting weights the right way.

@fithealth247 5 жыл бұрын

Flaring the elbows on the bench press or incline is not the right way. And its why he cant use a full range of motion on the incline (where the bar touches your chest) because he is putting his pecs and shoulders in a compromising position that goes against how the shoulders move biomechanically. When you bench..in the bottom position your elbows should be tucked..forming a V..not a T. benching with your elbows forming a T aka flaring them..causes shoulder impingement, and can lead to pec tears. And going real wide on the bench in terms of grip width also puts the shoulders in a compromising position.

Exactly..you never are suppose to flair elbows benching...it puts your shoulders and pecs in a compromising position and it goes against how the shoulder joint move from a biomechanical standpoint. Plus he is not even able to use a full range of motion on the incline due to flaring the elbows. Most of those bodybuilders have horrible form and most go by bro science nonsense. As well as doing excessive isolation movements with high volume which puts so much stress on that one joint compared to a compound movement which places the stress over multiple joints. Its why a lot of those bodybuilders have so much problems with joint pain.

@felixchien1664 4 жыл бұрын

Hypertrophy comes by two ways: pumping the muscle with a lot of blood using high reps and breaking down the muscle tissue with heavy weights. What annoys me about flex is he’s extremely egotistical. Back then he was doing heavy weight and low reps. Always doing 7 reps. Now as a trainer Flex is STILL making it about himself by making them do high reps and low weight. So he can talk about how it’s not about ego lifting blah blah blah. Flex is so full of lies. “My forearms grow so fast” “I TRIED synthol” (instead of I used synthol) “arms about a shoulder width apart” “then I drop to more manageable weight like 315 or so”. Pro tip Flex, if you don’t want to be insecure about yourself make things about others instead of yourself.
