not sure but the "decline hammer" (as its labeled) in my gym is the same as the one dj is usin in that video. best way to isolate the pecs. since i started using it ive got thick full pecs for the first time.
decline... hammer hardly ever used it...maybe twice in my gym its a machine younger guys load with plates.. to show off...take it from a chest guy its garbage
The one in the video looks just like the flat version too. The decline and flat look almost identical.Regardless, i'll give the decline another go. Does yours have the seatbelt?
Its not garbage but yeah for noobies that just load it with plates its a total waste of energy, however if u know how to feel your chest on it and use a full ROM its totally worth it. for guys like u however u are more concerned with poundages and it seems like that works for you... for me personally i switch it up but you will rarely catch me on a normal barbell bench its either smith for incline or dumbbells if i really wanna move weight...
Im a dumbell guy.... I benched today coincidentally and did free weight decline.....i havent benched in 3 months or so...machine decline has never done anything for me.... barbell ecline i probably do twice a year....guys like me who are concerned with poundages... wonder where yu got that from/...strength is relativemes
i said that because i remember in one of your threads you mentioned working your way up to 200's on flat and 160's on incline, if that isnt being concerned with poundages you may be top 10 percent strongest in the world.
Ask someone who has lifter weights.
yeah we need gh to talk about hand placement when doing hammer machines if it matters at all.. or range of motion at least, for instance when i do shoulder hammer presses i tend to get sore as hell in my upper lats. i know that the pressing movement will activate those muslces as well but i mean like sore as fuck like more than if i did an actual lat workout
you dont have " thick full pecs' you look like shit
I usually do the hammer incline... and I hit it towards the end, after dumbbells. I do a few heavy weight sets for about 8, then drop and hit a few sets of 15-20. These last sets are done like Cutler would, stopping before full contraction. You can really get a great burn in the upper pecs I find.I usually do bar inclines also, but either first or second.. and usually without a smith.
