Open Question – Arms Hurt After Chest Work But Chest Doesn't Improve

Hi, whenever I do muscle workouts for my pecs (bench press, pec deck etc) I can only feel the muscles in my arms hurting (especially left arm for bench press). I know I have the technique right but can anyone answer why I can't feel my pecs making an effort?? Thanks a lot. This is perhaps a perfect application for the Pre-Exhaust principle – with this method, you pre-exhaust the pecs by performing an isolation exercise and then immediately follow with a compound exercise for mass building. For your chest, it might work like this:

  • Flyes – 10-15 reps, immediately followed by
  • Incline Bench Press – 6-8 reps

Do NOT rest at all between the two exercises. After you finish the compount exercise (in this case, the Benches), you can take a rest. Give this a try and tell me what you think in the comments.
