Best way to work chest which keeps shoulders out of it.

[crimson coal]

I have a problem doing chest without involving my shoulders. No matter what kind of benching I do my shoulders seem to take most the brunt. Any kind of benching at all my shoulders get involved. What is a good mass bulding exercise for people that have this problem? Mass exercise that is.

Your grip on your bench may be to wide and your transfering a lot of the weight to your shoulders,bring your arms in a little on the negative tuck your arms in,instead of letting them flare out+on the concentric,do not lock out at the top

Pretty much every chest exercise will hit your front delts bro. Your chest and front of your shoulders both contract the same way when you push.

try wanking for reps....

Try some decline presses bro, almost eliminates the shoulders

When doing incline presses use a grip which has your forearms vertical to the floor when the bar is on your chest. This is the proper grip width.

Once you have done this or if you are already doing this then substitue your incline for a lower incline. 15 - 30 degrees is best.

If these tips still dont work then reduce the wieght and the up the reps i.e. 10 - 15.

Use the mind muscle connection allways this is very important and like one of the guys said your front delts will allways take some of the stress when doing heavy benching movements.

Another way, but very rare way would be to partialy fatigue your front delts by doing a few medium heavy sets of front raises. Then do your benches.

Try different things, one of them is bound to work.

throw some dumbells in there instead of using strictly barbell movements, if those don't isolate and pump your chest up I'm not sure what is gonna help you...

try wanking for reps....

Damn dude. I tried that last night and still got a shoulder pump. Maybe my strokes aren't long enough.

keep your elbows tucked in as close to your body as possible when driving the bar, I used to have the same problem
