My after-work snack every day is romaine/baby spinach with garbanzo beans, beets, carrots, feta/blue cheese and honey mustard/blue cheese yogurt-based dressing. So damn good and the perfect amount of filling before hitting the gym.You guys eat salad? :x :x :x
is it weird that my bench hasnt gone up in the past year?? but my dumbell press (flat and incline), and flys have made gains
i know you work alot of other muscles during bench press so ive tried to isolate certain groups like front delts and serratus muscles, which is why i think my other chest execises are going up, but not my bench. any ideas????
im making gains, just not in my bench press. last january, my max bench was 245. its the same now. last year my incline dumbbell was 85, now its 105. so my chest is getting stronger but my max bench hasntIf you aren't seeing strength gains and want to, you need to reevaluate your program.
A variety of things can hinder gaining strength. What does your current program/split look like?
You don't like salad? Por que?
yeah, no.
a corpulent fella with a sedentary lifestyle will consume lets say oh i dont know....5000 calories in a day
he may add a workout into his routine, but that burns what 400-500 calls? he's still in that 4500 surplus range.
Diet will always matter the most, i feel, when it comes to weight loss.
*Portions* will matter.
You can eat a big mac/etc.. a day and still lose weight. All comes down to # of cals not the kind of food itself
You can't be serious. Saying you're not a fan of the taste of salad is like saying you're not a fan of the taste of meat. You can't just lump all salads together when there are an infinite number of combinations.@ the responses
I'm just not a fan of the taste plus don't really like how little it provides nutritionally. My diet is similar to Jewbacca's. Protein all day, a little bit of rice or bread, fruits, etc.

Then to say that salad provides little nutrition?
If you are thinking of salad being just boring lettuce, that might be why you are so turned off.You guys eat salad? :x :x :x

i split my chest up into two different days, with 5 days rest (other body parts in between). so say on a monday ill do upper chest middle chest: incline bench, dumb bell press, flys, cables etc (not in that order). then saturday ill do lower and wide chest: wide grip flat bench, decline, dumb bell press with stabilty ball etc. i try to get at least 2 "heavy" days in a month and 1 light weight/high reps day. every other rep set in 4 sets of 20, 12, 6, 3
This might seem like a dumb question, but is there such a thing as working up the upper/lower chest? I've heard both sides of the argument, most notably the one that any chest exercise will stimulate the entire muscle and it'll grow according to genetics. I'm interested because I really need some more mass on my upper part of my chest but I don't want to go about thinking it can just grow like that.
On a side note, caesar salads are a gift to this earth

Also, for those of you still in school, how do you eat healthy off your less than ideal budget? The one cafeteria I frequent has unlimited chicken breasts, egg whites, romaine salads, pasta, etc., but its hours are terrible. Otherwise at other spots on campus I'm dropping lots of money for a tiny bit of healthy food... and don't even get me started at night past around 11 when only fast food is open. I have a lot of whey in my room but that's it.
I really I need to go on a complete no carb diet to get rid of this little bit of fat. My lower chest is so hard to get like the rest of my chest.
Its so hard to not eat carbs.
HOW DO YA DO IT?? NO FRUITS? YOGURT? JUICE? BRUH
LOL. i'm carbin like no tomorrow.
oj. oatmeal. rice. peanut butter samiches. banana. chobani. tortillas.
like everything i eat has carbs in it. i'm not as scared of em as i used to be. we need carbs in my personal opinion.
iLLest!
I'm with you on that, but I have to have a daily protein shake and bar. I'm already cooking 4 times as it is lol

Every day it is
2 chicken breasts
4 oz bison
8 oz egg whites
Protein shake
Protein bar
What other sources of lean protein could I use to replace the shake and bar? It's hard enough money and time'wise cooking 4 times a day lol
