Basic Exercise Technique 13: The Pec Deck

Continuing with the basic exercise technique video series, I wanted to look at the pec deck. Given that I started this series with Benching with the Pecs (which you should totes watch if you haven't already) I'm not sure why I didn't do this one earlier.

So here it is, and it's a little shorter than my previous boring videos. As always I'll look at the movement, how people often do it wrong, what it trains and show you how I teach it for optimal HYPERTROPHY stimulus.

I also talk briefly about cable crossover and while I originally intended to talk about the DB flye, I'm going to save it for a forthcoming technique video on the incline DB flye.

As always, try it, see how much it wrecks your pecs and then come back to the comments and say "Lyle, you were right." My three favorite words
