Episode notes
Chest Sparked A Lifter
- Bryan remembers chest drove him into lifting as a teen and he chased bench numbers and aesthetics.
- He long favored incline dumbbell press and dips over barbell bench for accessibility and safety.
Order Depends On Stability And Overload
- Exercise order matters more for advanced trainees because stability and overload profiles interact with fatigue.
- Short-overload (contracted-biased) moves can be useful first, then unstable presses, then stable machines for intensity techniques.
Plan For Intermediates
- For intermediate trainees start with incline dumbbells then use short-overload cables or press-arounds second and a stable machine third.
- Keep the machine third because its stability tolerates intensity techniques later in the session.
