This works my chest better than bench press. It also works back and obliques at the same time. Yet I've never seen anyone else in the gym do it.

Combine it with heavy breathing squats and your chest will literally grow in front of your eyes in few weeks

I just lie on the bench normally not perpendicular in the gif. Just pick the dumbell up in front of you and lie down. It's easier if it's mainly your upper back touching the bench for balance.

I've been doing this exercise for the last few days and tbh I dont feel any work donde in the pecs/back. Seems like a waste of time. And before someone says "you're doing it wrong", I'm following the indications and using a weight I can manage for 10+- reps. So that's not it.

Are you moving the arms as one and going low? Because if you only move the forearm but keep upper arm straight it's a tricep exercise.

Also what weight are you doing?

Yes i move my arm as a whole and at the bottom when I cant get my upper arms any lower, my forearms keep going down a bit. I use qbout 24k plus db.

This was one of Arnold's favorite exercises and he recommends it most

Any progress? I too mostly do lateral raises
I changed from OHP to lat raises about a week ago, and injured my shoulder. I cant still do them because of the pain.

But I feel the shoulders get a lot more work done with lat raises than with OHP.

these are good if dips give you pain in your sternum. it fixes that for some reason

There is a reason the golden age called this the squat equivalent for the upper body. Very ideal but I find if you have a machine version of this at your gym you should use it!!! A lot of smaller gyms have unique equipment that a lot of people just brush off.

Pullovers are one of the best exercises, changing in muscular tension dependent on the beginning angle of the exercise as well as the amount of bend in the elbows.

Btw you don't want to overtrain the chest and get huge tits, no need to do lower chest exercises EVER, always upper chest for the plate of armor look.

Main chest exercise I do is decline pushup, does really well for me.

I feel it more on my traps, serratus, ribcage and lats.
No other exercise makes me feel like my torso is gonna split, always do on my pulldays
 
Jfl if you’re not doing weighted dips

you are doing it wring
and do it perpendicular to the bench
don't forget to drop your hips
don't flare elbows

Im doing it just like the gif in the OP. There it looks like the hips are in line with the bench/chest. Perpendicular of course.
I dont remember if Im flaring my elbows or not. I'll will remember it next time. Thank you.
