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

Please redpill me.

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

2018-08-19 02:24:03 UTC  

your metabolism is always running

2018-08-19 02:26:09 UTC  

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?

2018-08-19 02:27:18 UTC  

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.

This sounds life changing

2018-08-24 14:14:07 UTC  

Oleksiy is ridiculously strong

2018-08-26 00:36:57 UTC  

How was the lifting today, men?

2018-08-26 00:43:36 UTC  

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

2018-08-26 00:47:41 UTC  

I got nauseous learning how to backup today.

2018-08-26 00:48:05 UTC  

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

2018-08-26 01:02:16 UTC  

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

2018-08-26 02:44:14 UTC  

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

2018-08-26 22:36:50 UTC  

Today is Sunday, which is rest day.

2018-08-26 22:37:54 UTC  

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.

2018-09-03 09:04:22 UTC  

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

2018-09-04 12:50:19 UTC  

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

2018-09-04 12:59:32 UTC  

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

2018-09-04 13:30:17 UTC  

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

2018-09-04 14:48:52 UTC  

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

2018-09-04 14:49:47 UTC  

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

2018-09-04 14:50:40 UTC  

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

2018-09-04 23:57:26 UTC  

The cables are always a good way to isolate parts of the chest. I read once that you want to attack it from multiple angles.

2018-09-05 00:26:21 UTC  

wide grip, arched bench press should hit that perfectly

2018-09-05 00:26:31 UTC  

or atleast it does for me

2018-09-08 18:51:58 UTC  

Upping the volume and doing incline and regular flat bench made by bench press skyrocket and my chest to really start to bulk up

2018-09-08 19:46:24 UTC  

I've never tried incline or decline bench, but the bench press has always been one of my weakest lifts. Might have to mix it up.

2018-09-08 19:46:57 UTC  

DB flys definitely helped my chest out, tho, in terms of size.

2018-09-10 16:39:59 UTC  

One of our boys has been programming me in the lead up to my next powerlifting meet. Can’t argue with the results, my conditioning is way up
