Lower the weight, record yourself and compare what you are doing to what you are seeing in the videos or have someone knowledgeable review and provide tips.
Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

That crazy bruh Vegan Gains on steroids now lolPush back into the seat on every rep. Consciously do this on every rep and you should notice an immediate difference in chest engagement.
You want to make sure your shoulders are DEPRESSED throughout the set (see image below). A good cue to do this is to drive your armpits down to your sides. This should keep your entire shoulder girdle down in the correct position. But yeah it would be a good idea to video yourself to make sure you are not ELEVATING your shoulders as the set progresses bc that will ultimately engage your shoulders.
Thinking about bushing this last cycle of deadlift training. I screwed up the timing and the max attended shortly after a week long international business trip. I feel good about where I’m at on the lift but need to schedule it better for the winter.
How do you fit deadlift in your schedule? Is it its own day or do you do w/ back or leg training?
I just started adding rack pulls back into my routine on every other back day. But it affected my sdls on my leg day two days later so I need to shuffle things around a bit bc sdls are more of a priority.
It’s a 16 week program so once a week, three weeks on and one week off. Generally I treat it like it’s own day, I won’t do any other compound movements with it.

Asking me how many sets I got so you can be on your phone and text the whole time when you get a bench, fukk you bytch 
Haven't posted in here lately but im still doing my thing being consistent. Been sleeping better lately which has done wonders for my recovery (who could have guessed right 
)
Only thing is, lately I kinda feel like my biceps and chest are lagging and im trying to figure out where I would program more attention. Switched to doing mostly diamond pushups which has helped but I feel like I need a little more.
Honestly its not even that I feel weak or anything, it's just that on an ego/esthetic level it kinda annoys me that when I was lifting weights it seemed like I had a more obvious pump in my arms although im probably way stronger atm.

Been locking in on my diet lately. I eat pretty clean but i've been making an effort to up my protein. Im eating greek yogurt + fruit as breakfast or a post workout snack.
Also cut my alcohol usage down to almost zero and i've been enjoying sobriety more than i expected. Might go to a special occasion drinker only. (We'll see its football season

)I did some of this today. I did face pulls instead of seated rows though. Could've done with more volume because Matt Wenning says that you should work your back twice as much as your chest for stabilization during the Bench press.
338 pounds???? Even cumulative and with equipment (she wears a dead lift suit) That's fukking insane. That's not bad at any age but a 78 year old lady? Who never lifted before????

some old white dude almost got a lesson in gym etiquette..so i was done on a bench..my workout plan was on it...i was going to get some paper towels and spray to clean it off...when i got back he decided to just go on it and do kickbacks..i stood in front of him waiting for him to acknowledge..but he kept his head down to do his set (admission of guilt)..he rattled off 2 sets...and then had the nerve to get off, rack the weight, and not even go to clean the shyt off...i was bemused by this...like you had no idea what i was going to do on the bench but i did have something of mine on it..you could have asked..now i have to be rude/cold to this individual going forward

So the park is our modified workout, we spend an hour Sat and Sunday on the weekends.
I hard launched my “diet” but mainly healthier meals period, such as no starch for some dinners and veggie/meat only. I have more energy but def need vitamins doc says some of my levels are low, would explain the fatigue.
