Did some reading today and learned about the anabolic window. Wow, do I feel stupid. 🙃

Please redpill me.

@Matthias

The way it was articulated to me and the way I understood it.. (Correct me if I’m wrong, Chads)

It’s not necessarily the case that your body can only absorb so much protein in a day, but more like it can only absorb so much at one time yet still your body will still need protein to conduct hypertrophic repairs. This means that if you’re stuffing 3 or so massive meals per day, your body won’t absorb all of that, you will feel stuffed, and it will waste much of the protein but, importantly, your body may very well cannibalize existing muscle fiber to repair itself. Hence, in general, 5 or more meals a day with 30 or so grams of protein each is better so that your body is constantly fed new protein to continue developing, never falling out of this anabolic window.

👍

Consistent calories is better than giant inconsistent meals

your metabolism is always running

I always thought the idea of the anabolic window was referring to the time shortly after your workout as the *supposed* optimal time to get calories in though?

Which isn't completely bro science either, muscle protein synthesis is elevated for some hours after your session.

5x5 snatches, 90 second rests. My shoulders are dead.

Real crossfit hours

This sounds life changing

Oleksiy is ridiculously strong

How was the lifting today, men?

Felt somewhat nauseous during, which was odd. Drank a bunch more water, didn't help. Powered through it and thankfully didn't puke.

I got nauseous learning how to backup today.

Lifting went as usual though, happy with my program so far

Alright day, bench and squat. I prefer my deadlifts. Dropped my reps today but increased weight.

Spent the whole day emptying out the basement and assembling the new rack today. Will break it in tomorrow with some benching

Today is Sunday, which is rest day.

Had a pretty solid rotation of Roman chair sits 4 x 20, and going to Home Depot 1 x 1

Had a puppy at the gym today. Great for the spirits.

I just got back into lifting and sparring with a friend from work last week. I was so sore afterwords I could hardly move lmao

What do you guys recommend for developing lower-outer pecs?

Somehow I think genetics are involved here - some guys muscles don’t extend to that part of the chest.

I do dips and decline bench press. Sometimes set cables higher to target the low part of the chest.

Chest aesthetics are super genetic. Just stick to bench and dumbbell flies tbh

You can try out decline press, but in most cases you get less of a chest workout and much more of a triceps workout

I would agree with you. Those exercises work for me but may not work for others.
