🔹 Pressing mechanics – Free weights vs machines: pros, cons, and what we prefer.
🔹 Barbell vs dumbbell pressing – Key differences and programming considerations.
🔹 Fly variations – When and how to use dumbbells, cables, and the pec deck.
🔹 Dips: chest or triceps? – How to bias the movement for your goals.
