Barbell Bench press is too restrictive and unnatural like a condom :scusthov:

I feel more from doing delt work and then going with like 65 lbs on shoulders press when they are tired than just doing 90lbs and have my core trembling. I know behind the neck presses are taboo but I love the burn.

Okay so you prefer db bench. How much weight do you do for each hand? I need to purchase some dumbbells but I don't wanna be stuck with something too heavy or too light. I ain't gonna sign up for a gym though.

My gym only goes up to 100 but I can do that for 12+ reps. I say 100-130lbs would be suitable for at least a couple of years if you can bb press 225.

I did DB bench for a while, but I switched back to BB. Had some shoulder problems, but I figured them out and worked through them. Biggest thing for me is being able to add tiny weight to the bar over time. A 10lb jump is too much for me, 2.5s have helped my bench game tremendously.

I swear I always mean to do this and forget.

I'm changing my programming, gotta work these in. You should get some core activation on this as well right?

I've always wondered how people can workout and even play basketball in sweatpants? Too restrictive for me

Maybe they have skinny legs like me? :ohhh:


Speaking of skinny legs, I've been doing some calf raises every morning (2 sec up, 2 sec hold, 2 sec down) and them shyts got me feeling right. Got me extra motivated to get in the gym tonight

Simple simple recipe to give your chicken breasts (or thighs) some life

Get a no stick skillet and heat it up. No oil, medium/high temp.

Get your chicken, plain, hit it with some Lowry's seasoned salt ( :whoa: dont hate on Lowrys nikka this aint Top Chef)

Cook both sides for like 8 minutes a side. When it's like 90% cooked, hit one side with some honey and then immediately flip it over. Cook for another ~4 mins. Flip over again and cook for another 4 mins. shyt is :ohlawd:, low carb, low fat, but not all dead in taste like a plain piece of chicken. Just a lil mo flava

Skip the calf raises at home. It's not enough resistance.
If you don't want skinny calves, you need to add weight resistance for mass. At home, do squat jumps. Squat low, jump as high as possible.

I have no measurements to back it up, but I'm pretty sure this routine I started a month ago (Upper/Lower split 2X weekly with 30-60 reps per workout per bodypart) has been working wonderfully

I did my previous cut at 169 lbs, cut down to 161. Right now I am at 167 and am feeling much better about my fat levels than I remembered from before at this weight.

Could also be my updated food consumption patterns helping a lot, which is to consume around 1500 of my 3400 total daily calories within in hour after workout in whatever form I desire (pizza, cereal, whatever, doesn't matter) and to consume at least 2000 total including pre-workout meal. Keeping my body fed like a motherfukker when it needs it the most and making smart choices the rest of the day.

Gonna stop for a bit though, doing a mini cut and a de-load hoping to get rid of a few pounds before I start into a chest specialization cycle. Hoping to have great results to share by the end of September.....have a unique plan prepped.
