And the anatomy of the pec major literally gives us the road map to success on how to best work that muscle for maximum growth and aesthetics\u2026 granted that you know how to read that \u201cmap\u201d of course.<\/p>\n<p>The anatomy of the chest muscles shows us the BEST ways to get from point A (which is where you are now) to point B (where the magic happens) ,as optimally as possible. But since many people don\u2019t know how to read the anatomy of the chest and take the directions that it gives us, they do exercises like the flat barbell bench press for all the chest gains when they could be having MUCH more success doing the exercises that the pecs were<strong> designed<\/strong> to do!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-666\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bench-Press-FAIL.jpg\" alt=\"Bench Press FAIL\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bench-Press-FAIL.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bench-Press-FAIL-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bench-Press-FAIL-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bench-Press-FAIL-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oh no that wasn\u2019t a typo. I did say that the flat barbell bench press was an <em>inferior<\/em> exercise for maximum chest growth and appearance. You\u2019re probably thinking: \u201c<em>But everyone does bench press, how could you go wrong with that exercise<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My friend, to you I say, you\u2019ve gotta know how to read that \u201cmap\u201d, because all the answers are already there.<\/p>\n<p>Once I learned how to read that map, it felt as if I left a dream world full of delusion where I\u2019d try to develop a \u201cmind muscle connection\u201d during my exercises to work that muscle. After learning the anatomy of the muscles I was working, I never second guessed another rep I did while having 100% confidence that every single one of those reps counted big time.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a clue as to how to read that map and follow its directions. You see how those strands of muscles on the above picture are arranged? How some of them are angled up and some are angled down? That didn\u2019t happen by accident or through random human evolution. They\u2019re arranged like that for a <strong>specific <\/strong>reason and once you know how to use that information to your advantage, the game will have changed.<\/p>\n<p>What I mean by that is, every exercise you see from now on will be exposed for what it really is. And YOU\u2019LL have the know how to distinguish between the exercises that are gold, and the not so great ones that are fool\u2019s gold like the barbell bench press. I think you\u2019re just about ready to learn the secret that\u2019s been right under our noses the whole time.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to my video series called <strong>Muscle Masterclass<\/strong> and the video below is episode 1<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0mVQBJX8ajo\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In future Masterclass videos, you\u2019ll get the roadmap of all your other favorite muscles that you haven\u2019t even seen the full potential of.
