Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

I say this all the time but you really learn something new every day. Dap + RepI actually saw brehs yesterday doing the DB press with the form on the left (right form pic). I'd been doing my DB press (incline, decline and flat) with the form on the right pic (wrong form pic).
Question: does this advice only apply to incline DB press or should I modify all my DB presses' grip?
Yeah I've been digging into a lot of his thoughts and methods and tinkering with my programing. It's been a good change of pace and has me excited to train again.

I'm not totally sure on changing grip across the board. He basically espouses that barbell bench doesn't do much from a hypertrophy perspective (or at all really) in building the pecs because the movement doesn't match the anatomy. Before anyone loses their shyt (not you but just saying) I'm just sharing. That said he focuses more on cable work for those areas so I haven't really seen him mention other DB chest pressing movements.

Breakfast! Oats with chicken broth, sautéed mushrooms and onion, thin slice of Swiss, turkey bacon and eggs 
No troll, but do the oats essentially just absorb the rest of the ingredients taste wise and provide texture?Breakfast! Oats with chicken broth, sautéed mushrooms and onion, thin slice of Swiss, turkey bacon and eggs

pretty much, it's like when rice is your base for mongolian beef, or curry chicken...it's just there to support the toppings, but with the whole grain, high fiber goodness of oatmeal!

I’ve done savory grits but not oats....does it hit like that though
I keep my oats on the sweet sides with fruits and the like.

shyt ass squat day. I been so lethargic after adding high carbs(probably because they “junk” carbs) back into the diet 
95% of my training max week took a brehs soul.
We make adjustments and keep striving though
me I’ll take a 2/3 day breather , hone in my diet and up the TM’s but recommended amounts.

Yeah, your shyt might be too high or your cals (especially carbs) are too low.
On any given week you should prolly be able to hit your 1+ set (95% TM) for 3-5 clean reps, no grinders. On nSuns, a b*stardized version of Wendler's Spinal Tap variations - where you do the 5's, 3's, and 5/3/1 week all in the same workout - most folks don't even up the TM for the next week unless they hit the 1+ for at least 3 clean ones.
I'm on 5's week Monday-Wednesday and did 8 on my 5+ set for OHP and hit 3 singles ranging from 95%-115% on both bench and overhead.

Dumb old broad at the gym gonna take a leg machine cause I got up to use my phone. I put my phone down to do mynexy set, look up and this broad is cleaning the machine and about to sit down.
I head over like I'm still on this but you can work in.
Immediate attitude.
Talking about "well you got up, I'm not a mind reader to know you were still using it"
Im like "people rest between sets you know"
bytch you're suppose to ask
"aye man you done with this?" Or "how many sets you got left on this" you know, regular gym etiquette.
No mind reading necessary.
Then I ask her if she wants to work in. She's like nah. So I'm like you gotta wait then. You're either working in or not. Broad gon say "don't get smart with me. I could've just sat down and you'd have to wait until I'm finished."
Old ass West Indian women ALWAYS think you're being rude when you tell them they're wrong.
I was super setting on another machine. This bytch walks over to that machine like. "I hope you don't think you're coming to this one" knowing that I'm using the machine.
You got it dumb bytch
