Try This Weird Workout Tip For More Muscle Growth

A big issue a lot of people have with working out is not really feeling the muscle they’re trying to hit.

And one of the biggest keys to growing a muscle is putting tension on that muscle to stimulate it so it can recover and grow.

Fortunately, there’s a weird thing you can do to fix this issue so you can pretty much guarantee muscle growth over time.

First off, why does this happen?

Let’s use the bench press as an example:

There are 3 main muscles used in the lift, which are the chest, shoulders, and triceps.

And the order people generally feel the bench press is this:

1. Shoulders
2. Triceps
3. Chest

This is partially due to technique, so if benching feels bad or wrong, then work with the empty bar to fix that first.

Aside from that, it’s because the chest is the strongest muscle and the other two tend to tire out first.

So here’s the trick:

Do a chest exercise like a dumbbell fly, pec deck, or cable fly for 1–2 super light sets of 10–15 reps before you bench.
