Push the weight by applying force through your elbows, not hands or forearms. That way you will be making your pectorals work harder than your shoulders. Keep your palms open and relaxed. You...

Nice progress Rich. Judging by your photos it appears you have a small amount of fat accumulating around your lower pecs. Doing decline bench presses will make it protrude so just focus on flat and...

That makes a big difference because you can do it quickly. Typing it as a text message on a phone with a regular keypad is very awkward. I've tried it. IMO a small notepad and pen is cheapest,...
