Pec Deck

silencer · 01-16-2005, 11:22 PM

Why is the pec deck machine never included in any workouts? I remember hearing it was bad for one reason or the other but i forgot, can someone tell me why?

i dunno bout the pec deck - i do not like it myself, for chest - i do weighted pushups, bench, and flyes

Yea, I only tend to do bench, flys and Dips for the chest, but I see that machine in every Gym, and I see some pretty big guys using it sometimes...

i dont know why it would be bad, but hey to each there own, i am a big free weight person, i also hate lifting belts and gloves they weaken you.

ive used it at the end of a workout and i felt it really finished off my chest routine.

there is nothing wrong with using the pec deck

if you have ever damaged your rotator cuff in sports, this exercise can bring the pain back..... quickly.

Nothing wrong with pec dec, but there are better exercises for building muscle.

Also I found using this machine sitting backwards(sitting face forward)hits back and rear delts,kind of a nice change up once in awhile

people will argue this with me til the death, but IMO it hits your inner chest.

I didn't do this for years. Then all of a sudden, a few months ago, i started up again. VOILA, i have new development in my inner chest.

Psychosomaticism, plan and simple. Some can argue about the upper chest isolation, because there is at least a separate head of chest. However, the inner chest development is nonsense, and now we're getting into shaping muscles. So, it is either in your head, or your chest developed more as a whole making and your inner chest was most noticeable to you.

There's nothing wrong with the pec deck, but I never bother with it. I would rather do flys if I wanted a movement similar to that one.
