Form Check Squat, Row, Press, Fly, Lat Raise

Without watching all his workouts (one form check video is 107 minutes long... you gotta be kidding me) I HAVE advised gym buddies on chest stuff from the bodybuilding point of view. I am, of course, training for strength. But 45 years of x equals being able to talk about it. One obvious issue is it's easier to show than type out (and I'm not recording how to train videos). That said:

1.
For ALL chest exercises inc flyes imagine there's a wire pulling your chest up into the space between your arms at the top of the movement. You want to have the chest FILL that space.

2.
On ALL chest exercises (not on any with dumbbells) , esp the positive, 'pull' your hands together. This is doesn't need to be much more than a gentle pull but it WILL engage the pecs more

3.
Back to the wire idea. The imagined fixing point needs to be inline with the area you wanna work (so low, middle or upper chest).

4.
On flyes (pec dec too). You do NOT need to over extend at the bottom but you can still feel a stretch but only in the muscle and fascia not in the tendons and esp not in the joint. I usually suggest squeezing the handles or dumbbells together at the top but once you learn to engage the muscle you wont need to do that.

5.
When doing a movement imagine you're flexing it into a pose. I can make my chest cramp up doing that with NO weights

Nuff for now
