Ever wondered if your time in the gym is being maximized for the best chest gains?
When you’re a busy business leader, efficiency and effectiveness are key—both in the office and at the gym. So don’t miss this episode of The Optimal Alpha Podcast, where Andy dives deep into the pros and cons of two of the top exercises to build a strong chest: Bench Press vs. Dumbbell Press!
Hosted by Coach Andy Naylor, who has over two decades of experience in helping people optimize their training and nutrition, this episode cuts through the noise and delivers pure, actionable insights.
🔹 Bench Press: A classic exercise that with its ability to allow for heavy lifting and straightforward progression, it’s a staple in many lifters’ routines. But is it the no.1 move for chest development?
🔹 Dumbbell Press: The versatile and often underestimated contender. Known for promoting a full stretch and engaging stabilizing muscles, dumbbells bring their own unique benefits to the table. But do they stack up when it comes to building mass?
In this episode, Andy dissects the pros and cons of each exercise, giving you insights to make an informed decision tailored to your fitness goals. Whether you’re looking to optimize your workout for strength, muscle growth, or overall performance, this episode will equip you with the knowledge to elevate your game.
Get ready to challenge your assumptions, refine your strategy, and unlock your full potential. Tune in now and remember to train smart.
“Free weights are only ever trying to do one thing: get to the floor. So, unless we use chains, we can’t really change the resistance profile.”
