How come for the barbell bench press, people say your supposed to keep your elbows tucked in, but with dumbbell bench you can keep your elbows flared out?
pic related, apparently your NOT supposed to do that with the barbell

It goes for the dumbbell press as well as the barbell. Flared elbows hit your pecs hard but unfortunately it's also something very few people can do long-term without absolutely destroying their shoulder joints.
The Neck Press aka. Guilloutine Press is actually an outstanding chest builder. But for most people it does more harm than good. The cost/benefit ratio is fucked.
tl;dr tuck your elbows regardless of the implement. Even if it's push-ups.

It comes down to this:
If you want a big chest you'll do it in the way that activates chest the most (elbows out)
If you're a pussy you'll do it with elbows tucked in. Enjoy your tricep exercise

What if I want a big chest, but don't wanna convert my shoulder joints to pepper grinders?
REEEEEEEEE CHAD GET OUT

Thanks mate. I'll be enjoying my functioning shoulder joints :)

Post picks of what a bad ass you are with your no good scottsmen trash argument

I just tried this with the dumbbells I have at home, because I usually do barbell bench at the gym.
I definitely felt my chest more when I had the elbows tucked in, and more shoulders when I flared them out. So I would tuck them in
>>36604674
Because, Chad.

I actually find that if I do elbows out it's just a shoulder exercise, whereas it at least activates my chest if my elbows are tucked in.

My dumbbell press is actually much stonger with a neutral grip and my elbows in.

always keep elbows tucked and make the movement like youre trying to bend the bar in half so you are contracting your chest properly

whatever it takes

REEEEE FRIG OFF
Are people meming because of April Fools? I've looked up a dozen tutorials just now and they all instruct you to press the dumbells over the lower part of your chest with flared elbows. Where can I find a source suggesting a tucked elbow movement is better?

Kristina we need to talk about your gambling problem, you're tearing this family apart
>>36610313
Oh baby baby
>>36608980
Yes
>>36610224
Then that would make my 36lb db bench equivalent to just under 1pl8, right?
>>36610335
Are you a woman?
>>36610349
I mean 36 lbs for each DB
>>36605437
This guy has to be trolling
>>36610363
That probably wouldn't even be one plate honestly.
You may be able to get it up once.
I only lay down to go to sleep, not to exercise.
