s the high to low crossover that is our exercise of choice. This is best performed with a set of cables but it can also be done as a chest resistance band exercise. Here you want to make sure that you are bringing the arms down and across your chest on every rep. Many less informed trainers advise you to stop your arms at midline. Given that they don-t understand the anatomy and function of the chest muscles this is understandable, but still not right. In order to maximize chest contraction you want to cross your arms over each other in order to allow for a greater excursion into adduction and get better chest development. Finally, we move onto the third and final exercise for chest to build a complete set of pecs. This one is the pullover. Now, I know what you might be thinking. The pullover is a back exercise that doesn-t work the chest. That-s not accurate. While the pullover is a great back and lat developer it can also hit the chest hard if you perform it the right way. It has to do with how you do the exercise as always. Instead of flaring the elbows out to the sides and keeping the dumbbell close to the head (which would place the brunt of the workload on the lats) you want to straighten the arms as much as possible. The finish position of the dumbbell over the chest is the same as it would be at the end of an incline bench press. With the arms held relatively high (above the shoulders) you get the flexion of the shoulder that targets the upper pecs and minimizes the lats. The other thing you want to do here is think about squeezing the backs of your hands together as the dumbbell approaches the end of each rep. This will further adduct your hands which will create a more intense upper chest contraction. Finally, you can also use this exercise for chest to develop the serratus muscle. This often overlooked muscle acts as a support muscle for the lower chest and, when developed, gives that complete aesthetic look to the pecs that rounds out your complete chest development.

My problem right now is that my chest doesn't look even. My right chest definitely looks bigger and more developed than my left one. I can't tell if it's there's an asymmetry in the way I'm working them both out or if it's because there's an asymmetry in the way my muscle fibers are structured on each side. The asymmetry is probably only noticeable by me and no one else can tell if they were to look at me, but it still bothers me.

Flat bench, chest extensions, but drop the elbows lower as much you can, a full flex slightly bent elbows.
Inclined dumbbell press
Dips / cables like in the video
You hit all your chest, but just to destroy myself, one extra set, hold from the sides, a slightly ligher dumbbell while sitting on a flat bench, slowly drop the dumbbell to your chest, squeezing it then up. X12 x4 sets. You will feel miserable.

QUESTION about understanding the science. How do you target the upper and lower pectoral muscle? Can you target the distal pec or the proximal pec? Can you target the upper deltoid and lower deltoid. I was under the understanding that muscles contract all or none. Help me understand how you can target an individual muscle? Or is this kinda like spot reducing fat on your body? Serious answers only.

I remember when Jessie started working out years ago I started too and I was 155 lbs. now I-m 195 and my body fat percentage went from probably like a 10% to a 5% now, I-ve gained 40 lbs in muscle and I wanna know how Jessie in that same amount of time, working out with Jeff, has only done like half of that lmao

bruh. pullover as top 3 exercise to build chest? stop it.
Most of your viewers are beginners and you-re misguiding them just to keep putting out videos. If you-re a beginner, Flat bench is a must, while pullovers aren-t even in the ballpark of being a lift to consider doing.

I-m shocked he recommends the pullover. I-m so many of his videos various exercises get poorly rated or modified due to the compromise they put on the shoulder. I can feel my shoulder dislocating anteriorly just watching this pullover. More so even when he straightens his arms.

I-m an oddball. I have a very developed serrates but a terrible lower chest: ( the only lower chest exercise I can feel is decline Dumbell and some lower chest hammer strength but very few gyms in my area have a good bench for decline or a lower chest machine.

Pullover is the coolest chest exercise I've ever done. Took a while to figure it out without feeling too much triceps or even some lats but once I got it sorted it's awesome. Nothing gives me that pump in the inside-upper portion of my pecs, not even close.
reply

Jeff is always warning about internal rotation of the shoulders along with elevation. Can someone explain to me how this applies to pull ups? Arent the shoulders rotated more internally along with elevation of the arms? (Assuming a standard overhand grip.
