The old school pec deck machine from the 1970’s was a very effective exercise to hit the pectoral muscles, all whilst saving your shoulder joints.
It was great using Rohan Reid’s machine at his Body Matrix Gym whilst I was in Melbourne recently.
Now back in WA, at the awesome Gold’s Gym, I had to compromise by placing my arms adjacent to the poles rather than gripping the handles, which is essentially the same as doing dumbbell flys.
Doing it the old school way really gives those AC joints a break, but still allows you to get a great chest pump.
I also find that the cross-bench dumbbell pullover, with bent arms, is another good chest exercise that is kind to the shoulders.
So that was literally my chest workout today before hitting biceps and forearms!
Sometimes you’ve got to think beyond the box, so as to stay in the game…the iron-game, that is!!!
