Hey guys! Back with another tier list video! Should I do biceps or quads next? Also, I just launched Phase 2 of my Pure Bodybuilding Program for pre-sale. It's 30% off until Sunday, March 17 and if you pre-order you'll get all 3 versions of the program for the price of 1.

Easy fix for flyes: half-flyes. Curved arms at the bottom, straightening at the top so that the weight is always outside your elbows, maintaining tension on the pecs. Game changer
YOU CAN'T FEEL YOUR CHEST IN THE HEX PRESS BECAUSE YOU HAVE SUCH GENETICS! YOU HAVE VERY SHORT ARMS! THIS IS NATURE! YOU ARE VERY INCOMPETENT! PEOPLE ARE VERY DIFFERENT! LIMB LENGTH, MUSCLE ATTACHMENT POINTS, MANY DIFFERENCES! WHAT WILL NOT SUIT ONE ONE WILL BE DIFFERENT!!! DISLIKE! YOU ARE JUST ANOTHER BLOGGER MAKING MONEY!
To feel dumbbell pullover in your chest you should bend your arms slightly for the motion. When you are coming back up with the weight drive your elbows forward. With this I find the upper chest activates very well.
I legit went and tried guillotine at my work gym just now. Big squeeze on the pecs, especially in close grip, and probably the deepest ROM you can get on barbell bench, but it does indeed just feel kinda terrible. Good for warming up to a bench set, but if you want a similar variation that has a lot fewer downsides, spoto or tempo bench works just as well.

Do cable fly on your knees. Better connection in the chest and more stability. 👌
this guy loves machines over free weights. of course the machines are S tier
Fantastic video. My only suggestion is to use green color for best and red for worst exercises.
Next Shoulders and biceps
Far too specific people need to stop watching this nonsense
If I were to train for chest, triceps and shoulders in one day, which one should I train first? And how many sets are optimal for each group?

The flat dumbbell press is the winner for me. I love the bench press, but could never avoid wrist pain.
That horrible pushup form tho 💀
your best exercise is also my fav but sadly it is not avilable in my gym🥲
science based = „this is my favourte“, „this is pretty subjectice“, „it feels like“
I was fully convinced with your opinions until dumbell crossover, one of the best exercise that activated my upper pecs.
Oh good, so #1 is a machine that barely any gym has (at least in the UK that I've seen).
Biceps next please 🙏

what gym does he go to?
how about Archer pushups as a progression from pushups?
Anyone know what shoes he wears ?
Given your concerns about the bench press, I wonder if a variation like the Buffalo bench press would make it to the S tier?
“Ranked by science” but nearly half of these ended with “I do/do not like this so…”
Regardless of my title nitpicking, I always enjoy your videos and I appreciate the effort you put in. Always quality info
This channel is a breath of fresh air for fitness. Half of other fitness influencers are busy creating adhd inducing content lol
