Does this bring back the dead lift issue?;)
If we use this EMG, then lets use it. I actually agree with this.
But I dont do them. Dips will hit it anyway.

Lorian got to listen to my story about emg studies done at my old gym in Chevy Chase. Was very funny and prved POF style training can work really well, but it seems that somewhere emg studies were different than mri studies for muscle use/developement.

We found out...

Lift Weights.

For me dips and bench presses to the neck are the best 2 exercises for overall chest development.

But, if you are not carefull that benching to the neck, (guillotines we would call them) can cause injury just like doing declines deep.
Kindof puts the shoulder in a vulnerable position.

Guillotine is this:

Any exercise can cause injury.

9 out of 10 people hurt themselves on these bacause they cant leave their egos at the gym door and try to do them with the same amount of weight as they would with the regular(tit/front delt building)bench press,or do them with too wide a hand spacing which is not a wise move when first doing them.

Half the weight of regular benches and get the form right=no problems.

I`ve a busted shoulder(old injury) and they never hurt me but regular benches do,maybe thats because regular benches are mostly a front delt exercise
