Just curious to hear your take on elbow tuck during chest pressing. I absolutely understand the idea of directing the vector of force to the desired muscle fibers. I’d argue that in order to do that during a chest press, your elbows have to be relatively high which is an idea that you seem to subscribe to. It’s just so common these days to hear people saying you should tuck your elbows to “protect your shoulders.” What is your opinion on this and do you believe that keeping your elbows more perpendicular to your body will accumulate micro trauma to the shoulder joint

Also, when using a Smith that isn’t quite vertical for Chest, is it better to use it with the bar going towards your head/backwards as you push it up, or with the bar moving forwards as you push it up? Thanks!

Any advice for a lagging Tricep short head compared to long? Ive tried training more in a shoulder extended position which to my knowledge could create active insufficiency in the long head making it inefficient, but I still seem to get a lot of tension through the long head.

With Incline Pressing you advocate getting a big arch to bias chest, why not just go less of an incline on the bench to get the same sternal angle relative to the load? And what about someone with relatively high amounts of spinal extension, is there a point of too much of an arch?

I ask for incline bench because as I understand it theres a degree of spinal compression a flat bench wouldn’t have and Im curious if that could be harmful in a position of full extension for the spine.

In your recent Nutsack day videos, you used seated leg curl machine, which specifically isolate shorten range of Hams. Are all out sets on this machine sufficient for Hams or other exercise isolating lengthened range of Ham is necessary for completely isolating Hams? Thanks

In my today’s chest workout, I could not complete perfect 6-8 reps with the same weight I used in previous chest workout and I have to significantly drop the weight to achieve targeted reps! May be today is not my day!
But, my question is
1. What could be the reason for drop of my performance?
2. Is it necessary to always work with our max weight?
Thanks!
