"When I train people who have really weak glutes, I'm taking my fingers and jammin' into the" (wait wha..) "side of their hip" (thank god). 3:52

[TheMailman]

This is EXACTLY the problem I had this morning. Going to try this out next chest day and see if it helps. Thanks, Elliott!

[Floridaburg-]

There's always police and fire dept going by, Elliot got a tiny gym in the hood

[NotJoL]

This is exactly what Elliott helped me with this weekend, except for my back. The touching of the muscle really awakens the control of your mind muscle connection

[stevenapier]

I've had this problem for years, man! Thank you so much!! Soooo helpful!

[brandonfleming]

You're my new favorite YouTube fitness guru, thanks for all the help! Much appreciated

[WadeD]

honestly elliot's channel is so rich in material and theres so much you can learn from it that sometimes i feel like people should not get this stuff for free... but then again we learn for free and elliot inspires us and gets paid off of it too so its a Win/Win!

[JakkZapp]

Stretching makes sense, agreed, why I know this but have not put the abc's together is why I watch your channel.

[fittygrand]

Lol now that the camp has moved I wonder if the new videos will have the random helicopters and ambulances in the background

[Randyme]

This was a big help. I have this same problem with my chest and triceps. This really shed some light on the subject. Thanks!

[happythview]

Cant wait to try this technique. Great vid as always Elliot!

[anojansmart]

Awesome, I was wondering why I was getting no pump doing bench presses in my chest, while my triceps fired up.

[ossielmais]

seems there's some sort of national manhunt going on behind the guy and he's still focused on fitness advice <3

[MirrorSound]

Holy crap you're a fucking genius Elliot! Thank you so much, this is a major problem of mine, and you even figured out why it came about through life style choices. (a single strap book bag...)

[Reabilitacija]

Can't wait till any girl needs help with her gluts isolation

[dannymars]

Definitely worth reviewing your form on the lift in question. Make sure you've got your shoulder blades flat on the bench and avoid reaching forward.

[PeteMercerFitness]

I've never had any problems feeling chest engagement, so I can't imagine how the problem would arise, but this sounds like good advice that would work. I've seen people tapping muscle groups when training people, and isolation is a great way to stimulate the targeted are. Good stuff!

[Firebreather]

this dude, Hodge twins, and Physiques of Greatness. I would be nothing without those guys. Thank you Elliot!

Keep in mind the length of time you hold a stretch determines if you actually shut the muscle down or not. A dynamic stretch that you hold for just a couple of seconds is more of a warm up stretch. If you want to actually shut a muscle down use a static stretch with a 30 second hold.

Hey Elliott. For Pec Flyes, one should internally rotate on the concentric to fully stimulate the pecs, which are an important internal rotator of the shoulder
