'(7:44)- How To: Dip- Learn The Differences Between Targeting Your Chest Or Triceps!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM6XUdt1rm4&t=130s&index=9&list=PLacPhVACI3MPmdZvXralM2yDlAFdJObWC  *READ FULL ARTICLE WITH PHOTOS* https://muscularstrength.com/article/Three-Chest-Exercises-Skinny-Guys-Hardgainers  If you’ve been struggling with adding size to your chest you’ve probably by now labeled yourself a HARDGAINER. Personally, I hate this title because to me it comes across more as an excuse to give up on finding the REAL reason why you aren’t seeing muscle gains.  I mean, at the end of the day it really isn’t that hard to build muscle right?   Eat right, train hard, hydrate and sleep.  BUT, there is one thing missing from that equation and that is Mind-Muscle Connection.  You might be hitting every chest exercise in your program as hard as you can, but you may not be getting enough muscle fiber activation to spark a lot of growth.  So, since conventional training isn’t enough, we’ll have to think outside the box and come up with a way to force muscle growth and that’s using a method I call the STRETCH-FLEX-OVERLOAD.  How It Works This method is basically a triple-set of 3 different exercises, but they’re not just randomly thrown together.  Each one serves a specific purpose in order to help spark GROWTH.  The first exercise will place the majority of the resistance during the negative when the chest is at a fully stretched position. The second exercise will place the most resistance during the peak contraction which is when the chest is fully flexed.  Then, after we pre-exhaust the chest with those two very specific movements, the third exercise is something that will place a maximum load on the entire chest when we know that the chest will be at its weakest link and do the majority of the work, rather than the triceps or the shoulders taking over the movement.  So, in a nutshell, the first two exercises will help establish a stronger mind-muscle connection and the third one will destroy the chest using as much weight as possible.  Routine Card For this workout you guys are going to be using the following three exercises  Number 1: The Dumbbell Fly for the STRETCH. Number 2: The Plate Press for the FLEX, where ideally you will be using 2 smaller plates instead of 1 big one, and pressing them together. Number 3: Chest Dips or a Dumbbell Press for the OVERLOAD (I also recommend using a spotter if possible so you can really push yourselves to the limit). Now let’s quickly go over PROPER form for each exercise so you guys can avoid injuries and maximize the benefits of each movement.  Dumbbell Fly For this movement, it’s imperative that you have proper form, because that can make the difference between tearing up your shoulders, and tearing up your chest. Obviously, the key is to tear up the chest with this exercise.  To get into position, kick back and get the dumbbells in the air. When you first lay back, you want to be towards the bottom of the bench as you get your shoulders blades retracted and into position. From there, slide back and really pinch your shoulder blades together. This will put you in position so that the dumbbells are already lined up over your chest. A lot of people will forget this very important step, which means the dumbbells may travel over your shoulders, and that’s what can cause shoulder injuries.  Remember this first exercise is focusing on the STRETCH, so what you’re going to do is keep a slight bend in your elbows, and come out with your arms, bringing the dumbbells down as far as you can to really focus on that stretch in your chest. You’re then going to squeeze your chest as you bring the dumbbells back to the starting position, and repeat for 8-10 reps.  Plate Press For this movement, you’re going to lay down the exact same way you did for the flys, with those shoulder blades retracted. However, this time you’re going to be pressing your hands together as hard as you can. If you were to stand up right now and do this, you’ll see some activation throughout your chest.  The biggest thing with this exercise is that when you press the plates together and fully extend your arms, that’s when you’re going to feel probably the biggest contraction you have ever felt in your chest.  *CONTINUE READING HERE* https://muscularstrength.com/article/Three-Chest-Exercises-Skinny-Guys-Hardgainers  Program Selector -  Get The Right Program For You! - https://muscularstrength.com/Program-Selector ---------------------------------------- Subscribe To My Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottHermanFitness ---------------------------------------- 1 on 1 Online Coaching - http://muscularstrength.com/consultations  ---------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD MY APP! – iPhone & Android! https://muscularstrength.com/phoneapp ---------------------------------------- MORE TIPS! - https://www.instagram.com/ScottHermanFitness'
