CW’s Training Tip #19

A joint-friendly Chest routine!!!

Gold’s Gym Rockingham’s new rocking motion plate-loaded decline press is again another crackerjack piece of equipment!

As always, to maximise the mind to muscle connection, remember to pinch the shoulder blades together during a deliberate 3 second negative and then keep them there whilst squeezing the upper pecs into your tucked in chin throughout the positive part of the movement.

This is a terrific exercise for those lifters, like me, who tend to press with their delts instead of the pecs.

It is also very kind to the shoulder joints!

Here is my current chest routine…

  1. Rocking motion plate-loaded decline press machine
  2. CW’s hybrid incline dumbbell fly/presses
  3. Crossbench dumbbell pullovers
  4. Seated Pec-deck machine flys

This workout is guaranteed to give you a great pump in the pectoral muscles all whilst giving your joints a break from the heavy free weight presses!
