11. workout question

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/2z12ny/chest_doesnt_do_the_work_for_chest_exercises/

I feel as if my chest doesn't actually do any work when I'm working my chest. I usually do DB Bench and some form of flyes with cable. But in both cases I can pretty much only feel my shoulders and triceps working. Its rarely sore the day after too. I'd say my chest is bigger and stronger (pushups when I was younger) than my tris and delts so is this a case of them being the weakest link and taking brunt of the work?

12. Deadlifting! Why benefit

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/2z2x1x/anyone_else_obsessed_with_deadlifting/

Every time im in the gym i want to deaift, even if its not a dl day. And then if im with my buddy he always wants to challenge and its sooo hard to say no sometimes!
